If a Soldier holding the feet during an APFT started throwing up and let go of the Soldier's feet what would you do?

Would you terminate? If so send to end of line to retest? Only send to end of line to retest if under 10 repetitions?

Dive in and hold the feet and continue on?

Sir,
I would have to say dive in and hold feet we all regulations and some people are not considerate of other situation. So me being a NCO I would hold his feet and continue to count. So that way the soldier get a opportunity to pass just a like all his battle buddies.

I would tell the tester to go get cleaned up and then have them come back later in the day. Unless they wanted to continue on and push through it, then I would let them. Usually there are three time slots for the test in a day and if it was during the last time slot, have them come back the next day to test.

It would depend, but I'd say give the guy a retest(on a different day). You can't be expected to get an ideal score with your focus destroyed by somebody else hurling on you, and I think everybody deserves their best opportunity to succeed for every record PT test.

I have never heard of this happening, thank the Lord. I think it would be a matter of pure reaction. If anyone thinks they know what they would do...I think they are lying to themselves.

I would definitely retest on a different day. A few have mentioned are you really going to be able to focus after that, then you have the whole health risk of someone else's biological matter on you!
