Is your unit allowed to give you a PT test and height/weight on the same day? I tried looking it up on 600-9, but I need a definite answer.

Every APFT I took was followed by a weigh in and measure, even the one I took at the SGM academy. Many do.

I think in the 11 years I was in, I only saw a height/weight not done on the same day as the APFT maybe a couple times.

I never even saw a height/weight done at all in my unit...
Don't recall ever having height/weight done, even at OSUT/ABN.

Is there a regulation or FM that says SM have to do height and weight for a 705 to be valid?

From AR 600-9 The Army Body Composition Program; para 3–4. Weigh-in and body fat assessment. b. In order to ensure the ABCP does not interfere with Soldier performance on the APFT, commanders and supervisors are encouraged to allow a minimum of 7 days between APFT and weigh-in, if feasible. Some Soldiers that are close to exceeding the screening weight may attempt to lose weight quickly in the days leading up to a weigh-in. This practice may result in the Soldier being unable to perform his or her best on the APFT, if the two events are scheduled close together.
App B–2. Height and weight measurements. b. The weight will be measured with the Soldier in stocking feet and wearing the authorized physical fitness uniform (trunks and T-shirt); running shoes will not be worn.
Note the "encouraged" and “if feasible” statements in the paragraph.

Is this for knowledge or because someone is worried about passing weight? Every Soldier in the US Army should be ready at anytime (barring recovery from a surgery or such) to be able to pass a PT test and HT/WT. If you are worried about being fat, because I have before, you need to step back and take a quick look at yourself and reasses were you are on stabdards
