Long story short even though I had submitted the proper paperwork months ago to my RNCO my permanent profile was not updated to reflect the 2.5 mile walk as my aerobic event. Even though I took and passed the APFT, with the assumption that my profile was updated, my unit is now telling me that the APFT won't count because my profile wasn't correct. The TNCO is stating that they aren't accountable because I didn't have my profile physically printed out and on my person and didn't know that it was wrong, that it is my fault and they have no accountability for not updating the profile.

So my question is; what AR states that you are required to have a copy of your permanent profile on you? I've looked in AR 350-1 and AR 40-501

this is a open door policy issue meaning it needs to go thru the 1SG then CSM... get a copy of your profile that covers those dates and .. common sense should show through.. why a leader isn't getting to the bottom this is beyond me.. this shouldn't even be a issue but someone is going overboard....

So much this. I read the IP and thought “just take your profile to 1SG and s/he will fix it”. Sounds like an orderly clerk overstepping their role.

It's always best practice to just have your profile on you in case something gets messed up. I had it on me in SLC - well they told us to bring it but never checked them at the APFT.

You have to make sure that your profile gets updated to your MEDPROS. You can't just submit it and then assume it's updated in the system. When I got mine, I went in and checked to see that it was there.

Before I address the initial question, I'm going to ask for a clarification. When you say that "the APFT won't count because [your] profile wasn't correct," do you mean that they're saying the paperwork for the profile itself wasn't done correctly and you aren't eligible for it (and thus need to get the paperwork done over again), or do you mean that because they didn't update your profile, the APFT didn't count?
