I live in a remote area over 100 miles from my reserve unit. With drills being distanced learning due to COVID I have unable to take a APFT. Previously to that I was in the IRR. I work with a sister service, is it possible to have NCO's I work with on the civilian side (they are active duty) administer an APFT? Reading AR 350-1 I found:
m. Administrators of the APFT must be Soldiers currently serving in the military to include the RC, senior ROTC cadets, and senior USMA cadets. The following personnel are prohibited from administering the APFT: Civilians, retired Soldiers, and IRR Soldiers who are not on tours of duty for 12 or more consecutive calendar days for annual training, active duty training, or active duty for special work. One exception to this paragraph is granted to Soldiers in isolated locations (such as an embassy) where there exists an insufficient number of Soldiers to administer the APFT. In this case, military members from other Services or civilians, who are working in the Soldier’s chain of command, may administer the APFT after reviewing all requirements of administering the APFT outlined in FM 7–22, appendix A. (page 196)
I've tried reaching out to my local recruiting office if they were able to administer me one but have gotten no response. (I also edited the original post as it wasnt set to ask a question)

As of 1 OCT 2020, no one should be taking the APFT. It is no longer the record fitness test. We have moved on to the ACFT. There are requirements for graders and NCOIC/OIC to have completed training prior to being able to conduct a test. There is no restriction on who or where the test is taken, but will be up to the command to accept it. (There is some liability/validity to ensure it is a legitimate test.)

Your unit has to approve any proctors for any test like that. This scenario is no different. You would need to talk to your unit folks who manage this
