<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If your unit pt is crappy maybe you should do something about it SGT. If people arent getting anything out of it what good is it? Easy pt wont do you any favors in combat and it wont build camaraderie. You dont have to lead it, you can build a plan and let the SPCs lead it, they need the know how for BLC anyway.<br />I&#39;ve never seen any paperwork to send up to request individual pt. Unit fitness is a commander responsibility so they will be the one dictating policy on when and how pt plans should be constructed and performed. Probably just need to talk with them about it and get it put in an official MFR. If you want it to be successful you will need to put some thought into who would qua jm ify for such a program and who will be responsible for keeping accountability of people in it.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>A 4856 is a counseling, not a request. It&#39;s a record of what you say to your soldiers.<br />If you&#39;re asking to do PT on your own, walk up to the 1SG and ask them. Chances are your unit/Battery/BN/BDE/DIV has a PT policy in place already and that&#39;s what you have to work within. When I was at the 82nd, absolutely no one was authorized to PT on their own, from the Division commander and CSM down. When I worked at SF Group, you worked PT into your schedule in accordance with your shop, team, or section mission requirements. When I worked at Ranger School you could PT on your own if you got a 290 or above. <br />Sending paperwork to some imaginary place isn&#39;t the answer. PT is a leader led activity, so you need to ask you leaders about it.
