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.

SPC Lopez,
SFC Hill already provided your answer, but I'd like to address for you, and the people you're asking for, the "allowed" part.

My first impression on reading this question was that someone was worried about passing height and weight and was looking for a legalistic way to "void" a tape test. We should be wary of searching for answers in an attempt to usurp the Chain of Command or play "gotcha" with our leaders.

Best of luck!

I have never known it to be done any other way, at least for the 13 years I was in.

It depends on the unit and for what reasons they have. You can ask the commander to wave it because by regulation it’s recommended that CDR give 7 days for a soldier to get weighted. Sometimes if you’re going to school for promotion, if there’s not enough time, they will do it on the same day. I guess it’s different in every unit.

In my unit, we usually tape the individual twice, immediately following the pt test and one week later so there can be complaints concerning the wording of 600-9 bc it is left to interpretation.

Yes. I believe the reg says that the unit can do it anytime within 7 days of the APFT

Yes they can although they don't have to. They do have to give you a HT/WT within seven days of an APFT, however.

You can weigh and tape up to seven days after the PT test AR 600-9 chapter 3 3-4

Recommended 7 days apart but within 30 days (give or take a few days) at a max....per the reg but not exact wording.

That is usually how it is done. The old regulation said you have to do it within 30 days but the revised regulation says commanders are advised to give Soldiers at least 7 days. But every unit I have been assigned to did both the same day to save time. Ultimately it falls on the commanders discretion.

Yes! You need to be within all standards 24/7.

I took lots of PT tests but I have never had a weigh in and measure. However I would agree with SFC Boyd that it would be better for the soldier to do the weigh in and measure right after the PT test. If a person is a little over it could result in him losing seversal pounds before the weigh in a measure.

Nope
