Sure why couldn't this be possible. Does the profile inhibit
the SM from performing their job? You can have a P2 for glasses. What you need
to look at is not the P@ itself, but what are the restrictions of the profile.
Then a call can be made based upon the physical qualifications of the job.

The profile just calls for the SM to take the 2 1/2 mile walk instead of the run for the APFT.

He or she is performing within the limits of their profile does that make them any lesser of a Soldier?  By the way, try the walk within standards. My troops were complaining about someone walking so I challenged them all to walk the 2 1/2 miles within time, after they finished, not one of of them complained about someone walking again.

I've seen plenty with 2s and 3s in the PULHES.  It all depends on the MOS and the board results.

Just because someone has a P2 profile does not mean that they can't benefit the unit and the Soldiers. A P2 for hearing or eyes doesn't make you any less of a leader. Everyone is quick to say get rid of someone without evaluating their true worth.

Yes, but, I saw very few in their original MOSs that had a P2 get selected to MSG and even less to SGM/CSM.
