Hello, i'm facing a chapter 13, separation for unsatisfactory performance, and i want to know what, if anything i can do to get a better discharge, or stay in..
(background)
i failed a PT test three times, the first two were from the run event, and the third was the sit-ups event.
My first two units, it as on me to enforce my own PT standards as a PFC, and now as a SPC.. And to be honest i slacked a lot.. and here i am, just barely making it in each event..
The mission were on has us doing work on very odd hours including weekends, and PT on our own.. and honestly, i didnt do PT as much as i should of..
I made sure i could pass the two events which have always gave me trouble, the pushups and run.. and i passed them.. and my latest PT test i failed the event which i have never failed, the Situps, i scored a 46, and i need a 50..

You can try to fight it I suppose but you failed to pass the tests. You're going to get chaptered; last I checked you won't get anything less than a general discharge for APFT failure. I would go ahead and start looking at what you are going to do after you get the boot rather than attempting to cling to the slimmest possibility that you are somehow authorized to stay in.

What you failed doesn't matter, what matter is that you had/have no self discipline and faied the standards not twice but 3 times! By the regs you should have been barred from re-enlistment and chaptered. They won't let you stay in, and the type discharge is up to the CMD group, which they have answered by starting a Chapter 13. Suggest you talk to JAG as to what few options you have left remaining.

Sounds like your chain-of-command is failing you on some level. You need to ask your first line or a battle buddy to exercise with you or help you with any assistance you might need, in the end your physical fitness is on you though. I'd say the best way to change their mind is square yourself away be the model soldier and ask to take a PT test when you are ready. You got to show that you have heart and are worth retaining
