I’m currently on profile for a bunionectomey. While everyone is telling me my recovery time is 2x the length of my profile? But all I find is recovery time not to exceed 90 days? Can anyone tell me the regulation, so I can read it.

There is no more “recovery time.” It is now built into the profile. If you print your profile off of AKO, it will list your conditions on the left, a combined PULHES score in the middle (which should be all 1’s for temp profile) and somewhere to the right I think it will tell you the profile expiration date. It may be below the conditions I don’t have a profile in front of me right now. Anyway, there is a section off to the right that says “is soldier available to take an APFT?” It will be marked yes or no. If it says no then right below that there will be an anticipated APFT availability date. That is basically your recovery time. Anything else you wanna know about it let me know. It’s literally what I deal with all day.

SSG Kasius McCall - I received an "unofficial" profile when I had surgery on my wrist that was just added on to the Convalescent Leave Request 'Note' I was sent home with. It reads "No PT and light dury for 60 days. Patient to return to normal duty on 03Oct2018"(which is the end of the 60 days of "No PT" btw). With something like this would I still get recovery time or does the "Patient to return to normal duty on 03Oct2018" include taking a PT test even though I was doing almost no PT that entire time besides a few PU a day to tolerance with R wrist pain?

SPC (Join to see) you need to get it converted into a military profile if it's not official. Otherwise it doesnt matter and your command can fuck you. When its converted ask to have it extended but either way recovery time is built into the military profile.

SSG Kasius McCall - Where does it state this in the reg? Looking for black and white although I already agree that recovery time is built into the profile. Need proof....

I do not have the policy right now but I can tell you a couple years ago the army changed the policy and now the recovery time is written into the profile, no longer is recovery two times the profile.

AR 40-501 covers profiles pretty in depth, but I believe the answer you are looking for is in Army Directive 2016-07 which simply states "Soldiers will no longer have an automatic recovery period after the termination of their temporary profiles." Like several people already said any recovery time is built into the initial profile. If you need more time you need to talk to your PCM and get it lengthened.
