Is PHA required after you’ve had your Phase 2 physical for ETS?

My best guess is you are on your command’s books until you ETS. Don’t burn bridges on the way out. I would just schedule and complete it to stay off your command’s hit list. Never know when you will need a letter of recommendation later on.

If you go red and then have conflicting appointments, I can almost guarantee your unit will make the PHA be your place of duty. These two are completely separate of one another and a phase 2 physical will not make your PHA green unless the provider is kind and hooks you up.

Yes. It is to different things. You could prob get them done at the same time, but since you didnt you will have to do your PHA. Your command isnt being a dick about it, as long as you are on the books for your unit, you being red on any thing makes him look bad.
Get it done. It will keep you away from the daily BS anyway, so its not going to hurt you.

I would recommend you get it done for yourself. If you decide to come back to a reserve component, you can use it to skip Meps. Get it done and keep a copy of your IMR just in case.
