How do you score an APFT for those on permanent profile, taking an alternate aerobic event?

What is the correct way to score a APFT for those on profile, who are NON-PROMOTABLE. I've heard several people say you take the average for pushups/sit-ups, but I can't find any regulation covering this outside of promotions. Thank you.

For the Alternate Events for the Run, as an example, as long as they meet the timeframe for their event and age group, it is simply a go or no go. Now, if this is for a Record and for Promotion points, then you add the two other events that have points, take the average and that is the score for the alternate event.

Once they have a permanent profile it is a simple Go if within the time constraints of the alternate event. Unless for promotions its an average of two scored events.

You get a flat 60 if you cant do PU or SU and then you get the Average of PU and SU for the alternate 2 mile event.

SSG Private RallyPoint Member straight out of FM 7-2

There is no point score annotated on the DA Form
705 for the performance of alternate aerobic events. These events are scored as a GO or NO GO.

Pass/ Fail
That is it.
Reference is FM 7-22, Appendix A.
You just record the time, and whether or not they meet the standards for their age.

Per FM 7-22, alternate aerobic events (including the 2.5-mile walk, 6.2-mile bike, and 800-yard swim) are GO / NO-GO events. According to FM 7-22 (para. A-40), "There is no point score annotated on the DA Form 705 for the performance of alternate aerobic events. These events are scored as a GO or NO GO." However, AR 600-8-19 (Enlisted Promotions and Reductions, 30 April 2010) provides for a score conversion for the purposes of promotion.

AR 600-8-19, para. 3-42 b.(1)(b): Effective 1 April 1995, Soldiers taking an alternate event for the 2-mile run and receiving a passing score receive a score for that event equal to the average of the scores for the other two events.
