Should new Soldiers prior to reporting to their first duty station be allowed to remain in with permanent profiles? When i enlisted in 2000 I never heard of a permanent profile for two years. Why is there so many in the training recruitment world that we receive Soldiers on temporary and permanent profiles before their first duty station? Will the Army turn this into a rotating door to reduce the force? Can the Army survive with a bunch of broke 18-25 yr olds???

From myself who Just finished training and have now gone to my first station, alot of it is these wanna be tough guys, (myself included) try to ignore an injury when its not severe because they dont want to "recycle" at BCT and end up injurying themselves ten times worse because some DS dont pay close enough attention too it or they hide it well

I have seen this idea come up several times in the past. My stock answer is this: Would you push this idea if you knew you were going to have an accident tomorrow that would leave you on a permanent profile? If yes, then great. If not, do not push it on those who are already on profile. We never know what the next day can bring, and that next day can certainly lead to an accident that leaves us on a permanent profile. I know if I was go permanent tomorrow I would not want to be pushed out of the military, especially if I could still do my job.

This is one part of the Army I still don't understand. I know of someone who is constantly on a "whatever you can do" perm. profile and when it comes to record APFT, they will score damn near 300 every time. Now I don't know about everyone else, but when I tore my calf and was on a solid profile, I was not ready for an APFT nore ready to score a 300.

There is no such thing as a "whatever you can do" profile. Every profile has a series of check-boxes that state whether the Soldier can or cannot perform that action.
Perhaps the commander should review that profile and see exactly what the Soldier can and cannot do.

We actually had an NCO with a permanent run at own pace and distance profile. Here's the kicker; he could not run the slow formation pace. on Bat. run's he would just run around the whole formation at his pace.

If this guy could run AROUND a moving formation, he can run WITH that formation. Wow.
