Can I flag a Soldier for failing height & weight or is it still under COVID rules ?

Are we still under the COVID guidance of recording height & weight in DTMS but not flagging ?

You don't flag them. The Commander does. But yes, a Soldier can still be flagged for failing HT/WT. Unless there is literature out there that I haven't seen that states it won't count like the ACFT.

There was never any guidance that said you couldn't flag Soldiers for weight, I don't know why that urban legend still continues to persist. The guidance is that right now you can't flag a Soldier for failing the APFT

Yes. People are still doing height and weight. People are still getting flagged for failing height/weight and the failing tape. We had a couple fail last month at battle assembly and get flagged and counseled. We also had several pass including me and records were updated including mine.
