I am promotable, came off of maternity leave and my PT is about to expire. What AR would back me up in creating an APFT extension memo?

You don't need an extension. According to AR 600-8-19:
Section IV
Promotion Points
3–16. Military training (combat experience, weapons qualification, and Army Physical Fitness Test)
"(c) Soldiers with a temporary physical profile resulting from combat-related operations, pregnancy, or when enrolled into the Army Pregnancy Postpartum Physical Training Program whom are prohibited from taking one or more events of the record APFT will use their current (last) record APFT score provided it is not more than 2 years old at the time of the promotion point computation"

You are still on PPPT program for another three months. You can't take the APFT unless you get cleared by medical before that. Your last APFT is only a year old so you're good.

You should be going to Pregnacy pT. You will need to pass a PT test on pregnacy pt and then you will be released to your unit after 90 days. Then your unit can give you a record pT test. Thats on Ft. Hood though.

I am on PPPT until first week of June. My 1SG wants to send me to the board in April, my PT card also expires in April. Does this mean I can't go to the board? What can I do to not lose the Promotable status assuming I'd get it? Thank you for ypur guidance!
