SPC Private RallyPoint Member 3915162 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>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&#39;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&#39;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. 2018-08-27T13:40:26-04:00 SPC Private RallyPoint Member 3915162

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;m sorry, but that is terrible advice.<br />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.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>How poorly do you think you&#39;ll be on the APFT, can you reschedule for a later time, when you may do and possibly pass?
