Is there a regulation on how long a record APFT lasts?

I've heard if you have a passing pt test that is in the last 180 days you dont have to take another record

I believe An apft is good for 12 months.
IAW AR 350-1 Soldiers should take the APFT two times every calendar year at a minimum.

Take one self administered PT test at least once a month along with your PT regimen. When it’s time for your record test, you won’t have any issues.

AR 350-1.
In short, the commander can schedule an APFT as often as they wish, but record PT tests must be 120 days apart. Unless you are a failure on the last one. Then it is 90 days.

AR 350-1 Section II. F-5. k.
k. Soldiers must take a record APFT every 6 months for RA and AGR Soldiers,....
l. (1) Commanders may administer the APFT as often as they wish; however, they must specify beforehand when the
APFT is for record. RA and AGR Soldiers will take a record APFT twice each calendar year,.... A minimum of 4 months will separate record tests for RA and AGR. The 4-
month rule does not apply to Soldiers that must make-up a record test or re-testing for an APFT failure.

Depends on how long it takes you to run 2 miles. I imagine after a day or two they put you in an ambulance and drive you across the finish line.

Oh... sorry, I guess I should read the whole post before I answer.

True record AFPT's last 180 days, by if the Commander wants you can be doing AFPT's every month- just wont' be a record one.

Commanders Discretion. After the record, you shouldnt have to take another record for 6 months. However, the commander can approve you take a PT damn near whenever they say. But Ive never seen it more than once a month unless its an APFT failure.
