I was supposed to attend BLC on March 19th but was told at a briefing two days ago that there are changes this cycle, from TRADOC I believe, for people on permanent profiles for no push-ups and/or sit-ups (I have one for no push-ups only.) I was told by the cadre at the Fort Bragg NCO Academy that this information could be found on their ACT page however I have had no such luck finding it. I'm still kicking myself for not asking them to provide their source up front.
I was wondering if anyone else has heard of this new change and could point me in the right direction or could provide me with this document. I am not calling their integrity into question. I would like to see this change for my own peace of mind.
EDIT: I should mention that this "change" states that SM with a no push-up and/or sit-up profile cannot attend BLC due to there being no alternate event on the APFT. No running profiles remain unchanged.

I just talked to the deputy commandant where I am. He said a new CMP is coming out, but he hasn’t seen anything yet regarding what your asking. If I get any more info I’ll let you know.

I actually just got a reply back from a representative from the Fort Bragg NCOA and was told the same thing. Thank you MSG!

That's just not possible. If TRADOC, or even a local BLC, created a policy that stated you couldn't attend with a permanent profile for pushups or sit-ups, they would essentially be saying that no one with a permanent pushup or situp profile can get promoted. Since they can't get promoted, they reach RCP Nad separate.
TRADOC doesn't have the power to create policies to separate Soldiers. A subcommand cannot create policies that the entire department of the Army has to follow, and they can't create policies that will kick out entire populations of the Army.

Start at your S3/BDE S3, or G3. If they don’t have the answer, try the Army level at the below link I found for you...

I will definitely check with my S3 again to see if they have the answer. Fortunately, one of them was with me at the brief and informed their NCOIC about my situation. If not, I will contact the higher echelon. Thank you for your help sir!
