Almost every Post has different regulations regarding what color reflective belts are worn for PT. Some had hoped the new 670-1 would establish an across-the-board policy for color of reflective belts worn with the APFU, but alas it makes no mention besides "Command discretion".<div><br></div><div>To start off, the last Army Post I was at (Ft.Bliss) wears:</div><div><br></div><div>Blue - Officers</div><div>Green - NCOs</div><div>Yellow - Junior Enlisted</div><div><br></div><div>Additionally how do you guys feel about your posts policies regarding reflective belts? Personally I'm in favor of Ft. Hood and similar posts, where everyone wears one color w/rank pins. We're all equal in PT, why the need for different color belts? In fact, why the need for rank pins either?</div>

Sir, I know there was an issue at Fort Lee where Soldiers didn't recognize the officers during PT and would get upset when they weren't saluted. This is one of the reasons why they started making us put rank on the PT belts. That, or wearing the different colors so that the NCO's and Officers would be visible while in PTs.

This is one time I wish a tactical nuclear weapon had been used on the good idea fairy who came up with this idea. I would love to know the statistics of how many soldiers have actually been hit by a vehicle while doing PT. I would split the time frames from 88 to 05 and 06 to present. I would imagine the numbers would be absolutely astoundingly small. But safety!

At rucker, officers blue ncos green, junior enlisted yellow, students wear orange. It works out nicely IMO. Never had any issues.

Bliss used to be yellow for soldiers and Green for leadership. While I was there they changed to green for NCOs, Blue for officers, yellow for enlisted, and red for medcom. Some units at Polk use yellow for enlisted and white for Leadership
