I have a record apft and was told I have to take another pt test( not record) is any way I could get out of taking it?

I just started doing pt again because I was on profile for a month and half for a hip flexor injury( that’s still not “fixed” yet) I’m not trying to be a shitbag but a failed apft would mean a promotion to pv2 would not go through( was up for automatic promotion but a failed apft in like March prevented that)

SPC Private RallyPoint Member Until you pass a record APFT, your promotion will be on hold because you are flagged. If your leadership is telling you that this is not a record APFT, it is a diagnostic APFT. Diagnostic APFTs are used by Commanders to evaluate your current physical status. You can't be flagged for a failed diagnostic APFT, and you can't have a flag removed because of a passed diagnostic. If you were on a temporary profile, regulation allows for a preparation time that is double the profile, but no more than 90 days. Start working on getting back to good physical health to pass a record APFT.
