Should a soldier be correctively trained before a PT test?

Training for a PT Test is done everyday during PT; the 2 mile run, sit-up's and pushups are individual events. Everyone struggles differently with each one, but you practice it each day if possible.

Some folks stress out at the PT test. Any correction should be done afterward. No reason to add stress.

What type of correction training? Like a FEP program for the ones who can't do a single push-up/sit-up/run? It's the SM's responsibility to maintain adequate exercise and proper diet. Having Chinese every night and drinking Pepsi, isn't considered a "diet". It should be a command priority to provide opportunities for the SM to maintain BCT and weight, like Mock Weigh-Ins, Mock PRTs, Command lead PT, etc.

If the SM is still not within regulation (due to a 50+ weight gain post-pregnancy, or healing from an extensive surgery) but shows improvement and dedication to get themselves in a better condition, it should be up to Command (CO/XO/CMC/CFL (Command Fitness Leader). With a record of weigh-ins, body taping, exercise routines, diet, personal trainer information, etc.

And the description didn't show up... Let's say a soldier shows up to PT formation and forgot to shave, wrong uniform, etc etc. This soldier has a PT test following the formation and the NCO decides to PT this soldier, is this appropriate or should it wait til the soldier takes his/her test?

Outside of boot camp and school environments is it even normal practice to conduct physical corrective training, or IT (Incentive Training) as we called it in the Corps? I can't recall "getting bent" at any point after hitting the fleet and joining my unit. We PT'd all the time, every day, sometimes several times a day, but there were no pits, and you didn't see Marines dropping to "knock 30 out" anywhere. I can't say that in my condition as a junior Marine at 18-21 years old that any amount of IT would have hampered me on a PFT though, but then again we were pretty PT crazy to begin with. Lol
