Are you flagged if placed on temporary profile?

Can’t remember for the life of me lol. I wanted to know if a soldier gets a temporary profile for push ups (say 30 days or so) will he show up flagged on his SRB? Also, if he has surgery and the docotr says his recovery time is say 2-6 months long, would he be flagged? Thanks!

If on a profile for medical reasons such as surgery recovery or injury no, you are not flagged. You may be deemed “non-deployable” though. Being flagged is for reason such as failing to meet standards, AWOL, legal investigations ext... Additionally, you will know you are being flagged outside of just looking at your ERB. There are counselings that have to be done and some other admin stuff for which you will be made aware of the reason for the flag and what you must do to overcome said flag. Profiles are put into place to assist in healthy recovery during a period physical shortcoming during an injury and recovery.

Flags are something you really need to understand as an NCO. The regulation is AR 600-8-2
All the possible reasons for being flagged are included on the DA form for a flag, DA form 268.
When you have a profile that exceeds a certain length and makes you non deployable, you will be considered an MRC code 3 and your PULHES on your SRB will have a 3 somewhere in it. It will also say TP for temporary profile, or any other medical code that makes you non deployable.
