Weigh-in and Record APFT

SFC Private RallyPoint Member — Fri, 27 Nov 2015 13:49:29 -0500

If a Soldier passed their weigh-in but failed their record APFT, does he/she have to weigh-in again if taking another record APFT the following month?

Additionally, many confuse the verbiage of 30 days in FM 7-22 p5-36 as a regulation. It is only a Sample, commander's policy letter.

Speaking only from my experience, yes. If the Soldier fails the H/W then, they could be flagged at that point for 600-9 even though they passed the APFT. But I have been taped without taking the APFT, but that was only because I passed the APFT.

Record weigh ins accompany any record APFT.
If the Soldier passed the APFT but failed ht/wt, they would be in the Army Body Composition Program and have to weigh in and tape IAW AR 600-9.

So the answer is yes, they have to weigh in.

SFC Private RallyPoint Member Since you have not received any real, regulatory answer, here it is.

AR 600-9 requires one weigh-in every six months at a minimum. For ease of company administration, they are usually done within a week of an APFT, per 600-9. If that APFT is a record APFT, then the weigh-in is required within 7 days before or after the APFT. AR 350-1, Appendix G, para G-9, g. (3). requires the weigh-in with the record APFT. AR 600-9, para 3-4 dictates that it will be within 7 days of the APFT.

I hope this clears up your question.

None of this matters because you have to allow 90 days in between failed APFT and the next record APFT.

record APFTs must be at least 4 months apart (AR 350-1, para G9 m(2): A minimum of 4 months will separate record tests.)
