<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Take away PT as punishment? Oh, this I have to hear.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You need to explain more: Right now I am picturing some Sergeant saying &quot;..and as your punishment you will sleep in, eat breakfast and report to duty by 0900. You will not be allowed to do any PT....and don&#39;t let me catch you even thinking about jogging or walking fast during the day. Oh, and no Ruck march training or battle drill training either...those may use elements of pt..&quot;

2019-02-14T18:24:14-05:00 2019-02-14T18:24:14-05:00 Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS 4368770

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Punishment in the military is defined by the UCMJ.<br /><br />NCOs are authorized to make corrective actions, as part of training, but punishment is command level.<br /><br />All that said, Physical Fitness and Physical Readiness are mandated at both the DoD and Service levels. This puts the concept of even corrective action well above the NCO paygrades.<br /><br />Are you asking if an NCO can give you a legal order not to PT? Possible, but &quot;I&quot; (personally) would tread with extreme caution on this one. It has the potential to conflict with other regulations and orders. <br /><br />However, &quot;You cannot PT during work hours, except for Unit PT&quot; or &quot;I don&#39;t want you PTing at X location (because of Y concern)&quot; may well be within the scope of the NCO&#39;s discretion.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>A scenario where I could see this would be valid would be: you were being given some time during the work day to PT on your own outside of required unit PT and you were late returning a couple times. So he will no longer allow you to individually PT during work.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There is a time, a place and a skilled NCO for such punishment!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Tell the entire story.<br />Define &quot;take away PT.&quot;<br />Explain why you believe it is punishment. <br />Explain what PT your were doing previously. <br />Explain what the NCO has you doing, or will have you doing. <br />You have everyone&#39;s attention with this one. ****every SPC thinking, They&#39;ll take away my PT of....***(((

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;m hoping PT in this cases means something different than Physical Training... Maybe you mean Personal Time, Persistent Thankfulness, Pequeno Tacos, or Positive Things?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>WTF- this question is as clear as shit. Are you talking the mandatory PT or PT on your own time/body building. etc.? The MOS doesn&#39;t matter since EVERY SM is suppose the meet the standards outlined in the AFPT. Any 11B better be excelling or go home.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I believe he&#39;s referring to physical therapy, and yes if you&#39;re missing appointments, it can be taken away from you. Also if you&#39;re doing excessive or dangerous physical training, that can be taken away as well.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>While what you asked was certainly somewhat unusual, I&#39;m obviously by no means minimizing your question, as there must&#39;ve clearly been more involved, certainly, I merely note that the stereotypical reaction in such a circumstance would clearly be to require PT, not forbid it...that being said, I can perhaps envision a rationale for such a thing, essentially being forced inactivity, in an effort to motivate the desire to participate to alleviate boredom...whether it&#39;d actually be allowed, and/or endorsed by those above, is, of course, an entirely different matter...I merely point out that, while perhaps comprehensible on the level I described, one would certainly think it&#39;d be deemed rather contrary to unit objectives in terms of individual service member preparedness, overall...nevertheless, what you asked was, most definitely, at least quite thought provoking, if nothing else...if you&#39;d care to elaborate on the circumstances, I&#39;d by all means be most interested in hearing more, no rush, whenever convenient...your question most certainly got my mental gears going, if nothing else, you know?
