Is a APFT considered a loss of PMOS qualification, pertaining to BAR?

Just as it's stated above. 601-280 8-4 a. references that soldiers are identified by failure to perform the basic taks required of their PMOS, or loss of qualification for their PMOS.

So if you are able to take a PT test, and you dodge it... You are failing to perform a basic task for your PMOS since its a requirement for all...

Personally I could see that working.

No, but if the Soldier has failed his APFT he should be flagged and will have a 9E Imrepr. If it has been greater than 9 months since his last APFT bit he has not failed one, Your supervising 79S could place a 9X IMREPR on the Soldier. Which would make him ineligible for reenlistment. Loss of PMOS qualification means the Soldier has lost one of the qualifications listed in DA PAM 611-21 for his MOS. In that event the Soldier would have a 9P code.

To clarify for you, a loss of qualification requires a reclass. For instance losing a clearance is one of the most common ones. The person can stay I'm the Army but not the MOS

Whooo... This was a great question when I hadn't really understood bars entirely. Still learning but have a way better understanding since then. Thanks again for the input NCO's!
