So I failed my pt test back in February before this covid outbreak started got counclied, but the whole covid 19 picked up and everything got put on hold, now that everything is starting to pick up they are trying to pt test me again 2 of June and they are trying to make me sign a coucling for this week to take a pt test in 4 days. Can they do this? I will get kicked out for failing this second pt test due to a lot of time of not doing anything due to the covid 19 and I think this is unacceptable

I do not understand. If you failed a PT test, why have you not been training in order to pass it? Ultimately, you as a soldier are responsible for meeting standards.

What is unacceptable here PFC, is the fact that you can not act like a soldier. PT is a personal responsibility as will as meeting or exceeding the standards. You failed a PT test- knew it and yet for 90 days took absolutely NO corrective action. Absolutely NO said you had to set around and not find a way to training, hell in the desert we made our own weight equipment and running around the encampment in battle rattle was a heck of a lot harder than the test. You failed the PT test , failed yourself, and failed the Army. Yes, 2nd failure they can/should send you home and then they can replace you with a better trooper, Your screw up is not the Army's fault, but yours.

Is this a serious post.. you find it 'unacceptable" ... I am not sure what part of this situation you find unacceptable, but there is nothing wrong with your story except that you decided to not do personal PT. There was nothing stopping you from doing push ups, sit ups and running except you. Good luck on your upcoming PT Test!

Trolling to rile up a bunch of old farts. Ignore it.
