I have a record PT test coming up and my NCO mentioned if I think I cant pass it to request a Chapter 5-8. I cant find a whole lot of information about the 5-8. I know I won't pass and will be chaptered, my question is this: is a chapter 5-8 a better option than being chaptered for pt failure? My husband and I are dual military and our third babysitter isn't exactly reliable. Twice in the last week she hasnt been willing to babysit. We cant afford daycare and the CDC has a 6mo waiting list.

I'm sorry, but that is terrible advice.
For starters, your APFT chapter will he done long before your family care plan one is. What he is telling you is some barracks lawyer BS.

Correct! A FCP chapter will be scrutinized throughly. I had to process a few of those during my 1st company command tour and can vouch for it; will take forever and isn’t guaranteed. That final approving authority (fist O6 commmader) can deny it; seen it happen!!!!! At the end of the day is all about what options you and spouse have, and after carefully studying them, what you want to do.

How poorly do you think you'll be on the APFT, can you reschedule for a later time, when you may do and possibly pass?
