So my husband failed the PT tests in BLC. The day was ice during the run and he slipped and fell which caused him to severely injure his hip and knee. Then only gave him 7 days to retake which he was not healed properly. The day before the test they had him run a 2 mile which he fell again due to the pain. He went to the ER after class. He missed it by 18 seconds not that, that matters. Now he’s kicked out of BLC. whats next for him? He’s never failed a PT test before. He’s afraid to be kicked out of the army for this. His grandma also had passed so it’s effected him greatly as she was his caretaker. Bad timing I guess. Anyways. What can he do if anything at this point not to loose his career?

As someone who failed WLC once before, there is life after failing an NCOES. He should take time to heal both mentally and physically. Take the time to train and prepare for the next time. As someone who has been there I am proof that failing an NCOES isn’t the end of the world.

Thank you. This makes me feel a lot calmer. Poor dude tried so hard to run in pain. What were the conciquences. He’s also up for reenlistment next month and he’s concerned that opportunity is gone as well.

He should get together with his NCO and come up with a plan for the way ahead. There are options that can be taken if communication remains open and he gives a genuine effort. It’s possible to get an extension just long enough to graduate from NCOES, then re-enlist. However, he’ll need to talk to his retention NCO also to get options. Kimberly Dugdale

IF THE UNITED STATES ARMY LOVE THEIR MEN AND WOMEN THEY WOULD PROVIDE PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR ALL TO KEEP THE ARMY FROM LOSE MAN POWER. I'M PROUD OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DEFEND OUR NATION. GET WELL SOON. GOD BLESS!

A couple of issues his BLC Cadre did that concerns me. While weather conditions are not to be a consideration factor for cancelling an APFT, but safety issues are. If there was enough ice around to cause even one person to slip, fall and get injured...then it's my opinion and experience that the APFT should have been postponed or relocated to an indoor and safer location (if possible). Also, having him run 2 miles the DAY BEFORE another APFT....that's not right either.

SGT Daniel Rocco Ames from passed experiences from other men or women in his unit. Nope! They are very strict.

SGT Daniel Rocco Ames - I believe you need a permanent profile with a specific modification listed.

LTC Peter Hartman yep which they won’t allow him to do as of right now. Even being kicked out his command is telling him no. So it’s a waiting game.

Hopefully but Monday will tell. He has documentation to prove his injury but apparently another man went unconscious last month and was kicked out of BLC and bared from re-enlistment till he’s able to do BLC again. Which isn’t gettingmout of the military so that’s a plus.
