What is the correct way to score a APFT for those on profile, who are NON-PROMOTABLE. I've heard several people say you take the average for pushups/sit-ups, but I can't find any regulation covering this outside of promotions. Thank you.

For the Alternate Events for the Run, as an example, as long as they meet the timeframe for their event and age group, it is simply a go or no go. Now, if this is for a Record and for Promotion points, then you add the two other events that have points, take the average and that is the score for the alternate event.

+1 no points are allocated, and they can never wear the PT Fitness badge. Points are only allocated for alternate events in order to calculate promotion points, the promotable non-promotion isn't important it is just so a Soldier with a permanent profile doesn't get discriminated against for E5 and E6 promotions.

SFC, if the soldier only does the push-up event and walks for the aerobic event, for promotion purposes what will their score be?

Would this mean soldier gets 100 points for push-up they get 100 points for both walk and sit-ups or just 60 points for each?

SPC(P) (Join to see) - By the rules, the other events that can't be performed are given the averaged points from the events that can be graded. So, based on the rules, if someone were to max out push ups but can't due the others for profile reasons...then yea they should receive 100 points for the other events. Again, this is only for calculation of promotion points.

Once they have a permanent profile it is a simple Go if within the time constraints of the alternate event. Unless for promotions its an average of two scored events.
