I am surprised that Army hasn't fix this issue because why should any of my peers be able to PCS when they failed a pt test or are overweight. In my opinion PCS is a privilege not a right because it give soldier like me a chance to see a different part of the U.S. or different countries. It also give them a fresh start. I don't think it fair and it is a bad impression and example for soldiers thinking they don't have to meet the standard. Do you think the Army will change this.

Per regulation you get an honorable discharge if you get discharged for ABCP or APFT, and you get flagged automatically when you fail one of those and when you are getting chaptered, so one thing really has nothing to do with the other. Also, a couple years ago you couldn't PCS if you did not pass height and weight, but someone in their infinite wisdom decided to change it. I don't see the Army changing the discharge type or allowing a flagged Soldier to PCS anytime soon.

You are asking to completely different questions here. A honorable discharge has nothing to do with a PCS move.

Flagged for what?
Also, PCS is not a reward. Sometimes it can be a punishment. If I could have avoided PCSing from my previous base, I would have.
