Is the Unit obligated to update the PT card that a SPC (P) took before going to BLC or should the most recent PT card from BLC be updated?

A Soldier took APFT before going to BLC (scored 280). Went to BLC took another APFT (scored 210). The school house updated the PT scores (210) on DTMS which resulted in this Soldier losing a lot of promotion points. Is the Unit obligated to updating the PT card prior to BLC so he can recover the promotion points? Training room is being difficult!

The APFT prior to BLC was for record. The Soldier stated that at BLC they were only required to "Pass" the APFT that was why he didn't put in extra effort. I spoke to his NCO at BLC and he told me that the training room should easily go into DTMS and change the dates so the prior APFT score of 280 will reflect. I was just wondering if there is a regulation to back this up or if I should go speak to the CO about it.

When I was in blc they told us to focus on form. Hit the minimum and pass the pt test. I remember the phrase “181 exceeds the standard”. I’m sure it’s the same for this soldier. They didn’t update our DTMS to reflect it either. If the 280 card states “for record” then they might do it

I’m not exactly sure what the question is here, but I’ll take a guess. DTMS should reflect the latest record PT test. If that latest record is the one he took at BLC, then that’s it. If the latest record is the one he took at the unit, then that’s it. If the one he took at BLC is only a diagnostic, then that should not be uploaded to DTMS.

Yes the unit is responsible to update the Soldiers PT scores but it's also the Soldiers responsibility to make sure their records are kept updated especially before going to any NCOES school.
