If we take an APFT while attending an Army School can the DA705(APFT Score Card) be transferred back to our units?

If we take an APFT while attending an Army School (BLC, SLC, etc) can the DA705(APFT Score Card) be transferred back to our units to put in our file?

As long as I can remember the regulation has always stated not more often than 4 months apart. Only exception is if a Soldier fails a record APFT then they must retake within 90 days. SPC John Copeland

Keep reading. It is for the school record as it is a graduation or entry requirement. If you fail you must retest within 7days (failure normally has up to 90 days). SFC Brian Johnston

SFC Brian Johnston we will just have to disagree. It is for the school record not your personal record.
Think about this: SM scheduled for BLC on 10 Dec 2018
Company APFT scheduled 19 Nov 2018
SM is now (by regulation) not allowed to take another (for record) APFT within 4 months of 19 Nov 18. By your understanding, this SM now can not attend BLC because they are not authorized to take a record APFT until March of 2019.

SFC Brian Johnston use my same scenario from above. Soldier passed the company APFT. Goes to BLC and fails. You say it is a valid for record APFT. Regulation says the commander must impose suspension of favorable actions flag within 72 hours of the failure of a record APFT. Let me know what IG says about that! If it can’t be used to FLAG them it can’t be used as a true for record.

It isn’t usually common but there is no regulatory guidance saying this can’t be done.

This is just more proof that the Army really cares about one thing. APFT... not much else. I saw so many dirt bag Soldiers get promoted because they have a high pt score, and they make terrible leaders, because all they know how to do is PT. the school says take an APFT, it's not for record, but if you fail we kick you out of school. your unit says if you fail an APFT you have 6 months to take another one and pass or we kick you out. and in the meantime no favorable action. fail at the rifle range? no big deal, maybe a counseling statement, but you are still going to school, getting that next promotion and getting an award for abc..... the army doesn't care if you can shoot, fight or do your mos, all they want you to do is push ups sit ups and 2 mile run...........
