One of the Junior Enlisted soldiers in my unit got put on ABCP and they are freaking out like their career is over and they’ll never be able to do things again. Once he comes off of ABCP does that follow you for the rest of your career? Or is it a move on with your career type thing?
ABCP
Height and Weight
AR 600-9

Here is the deal. The only way it's a "career killer" is if you fail the HT/WT twice in a 12 month period. If he gets off the program and stays off for at least 12 more months, then he has nothing to worry about. And no, failing one HT/WT and being placed on the ABCP will not follow you thru your career.

That’s what I was thinking. I was trying to tell him to go lose the weight and move on from there. If anything it shows he can bounce back from failing.

Is it a career killer? No. AR 600-9.
But the best life advice I’ve ever received/passed on is that you can build 1000 bridges but only suck 1 c*ck. And the world won’t remember you as a bridge builder.
After getting off the ABCP, the soldier needs to get back to building the biggest, best, shiniest bridges possible. Because Army leadership tends to have long memories, particularly about infractions.
Best of luck

It is not a career ender, however, it does stay in the system (eMILPO) for 3yrs and it will have a date in which it will fall out completely.
