The unit might not be happy, but probably won&#39;t go as far as the (P) removal. You need shine for them for some time.

You won&#39;t lose your P status because you won&#39;t be flagged.

As for the unit removing your promotable status, since both tests are for record, the answer is technically yes, if they knew about the first one before you took the second one. However, if after the fact you most recent test of record is a go, so they should not.<br /><br />Bust your tail and do the best you can on the course. 1059s with negative comments on them follow you for a long time. 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Fri, 25 Jan 2019 19:11:13 -0500 2019-01-25T19:11:13-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/if-i-failed-my-initial-apft-at-alc-but-passed-the-second-can-my-unit-use-the-initial-failure-to-remove-my-promotable-status?n=4317461&urlhash=4317461 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you were not flagged due to the APFT failure then no. You passed a record APFT while in the training house and thus graduated. You will not lose promotable status. SSG Brian G.
