I recently injured my back during a diagnostic ACFT and have less then a month to try and prepare for my record. I went to a army doctor, it two too to make a diagnoses and they didn't give me a profile. I was told if I am unable to pass the record ACFT I won't receive any rewards I might earn on this deployment is that true?

There are no record ACFTs. You can't be flagged for failing an ACFT

So there isn't anything confirming that the army will have April first be the starting date for record ACFTs?

SPC (Join to see) they've delayed the ACFT three times already, and the Army still hasn't settled on a final scoring system. They will delay the launch again.

Even if it does launch in March, you'll have until October before you get flagged.
Here's a little article about it

SPC (Join to see) - Well, right here right now flagging for ACFT's are off the table. If you are currently flagged for APFT's then your in trouble.

Yes, flags for fitness impact awards. There is a provision for awards in the regulations for VALOR exemptions from fitness flags. So if you take a bullet for the President while in theater visiting troops, don't worry you'll still get an award. But AAM,ARCOM,MSM's are off the table.

I was shot in the arm during Iraq deployment . Could not do Push ups for a considerable time. Still received deployment awards. Sounds like BS
