Army's new policy: meet standards or get kicked out, even if re-enlisted indefinitely

I agree with the idea of meeting standards or being sent packing. However it should apply to all standards equally. Lets take the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) for example. How many personnel have you seen who have not passed or taken and APFT multiple times. The regs. give clear guidance on steps to be taken and after all steps have run their course and the Soldier still fails they should be shown the door. Regardless of rank, MOS, or duty position. Also if we are going to require a school or some sort of training to be completed in a given time frame for a Soldier to make or keep a given rank there needs to be enough classes for them to attend said training in more than enough time.

I had a LOT of issues trying to get an ALC slot when I was an E-6. When I finally did a get a slot it conflicted with the beginning of a deployment so I had to cancel the reservation. They rescheduled it a little while later, BUT they scheduled me for a date that would have fallen at the tail end of the deployment so I had to cancel yet again. When I finally received another slot it was more than a year later. Under this criteria I probably would have received the boot. If you're going to boot Soldiers for not attending their respective NCOES you have to make sure they have actually been afforded the opportunity to do so within a timely manner.

Do they have to pay back and reenlistment bonuses?
