Can jump status be pulled for failing a PT test?

If you are unavailable to pass your AFPT then you are not physically able to do the things a soldier is required to be able to do. That being said, what purpose does it serve to keep you in a unit that would allow you to maintain "jump status"?

Totally love your last sentence!

LTC Trent Klug whose last sentence?

The Sergeant Major's.

Amen! Instead of posting on Rally Point asking people where you can find "a list of requirements to maintain jump status" you could be using that time to do the work necessary to pass the AFPT... I am talking about PT, good ole fashioned PT. I mean, you KNOW what those requirements are so what more do you need?

LTC Jeff Shearer - See my post above. When I worked with SF as support I had the 2 hip surgeries (what bumped me from the Q), but I made sure to come back strong. They instilled in me that mindset to drive on no matter what. Cheers! Doc

I have more specific details in my reply hopefully it helps you to provide a more on track response the second time around. Thank you.

BaaaaahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

SPC (Join to see) - I am not providing you with support for a dumb post. Your First Sergeant has told you the requirements, so comply. I say again, as an E4, you should not be on here asking this type of question. My question is, how can you fail an APFT?

SPC (Join to see) - I think you got your response, pass the APFT. You do realize the next step is your chapter from the Army, and somehow you are worried about jump status? You have a significant misalignment of priorities, and your sarcastic comment above, while a clear attempt to be witty, is so full of grammar and spelling errors that you really just appear to be a whiny, arrogant, entitled, SPC who doesn't meet the Army standards.

Sgt (Join to see) Poor leadership?

SPC (Join to see) - There is no shortage of poor leadership in the military and civilian worlds. In this case pulling jump status for failing an APFT is the right call because you are not keeping up with the requirement of the job. A PT test is nothing compared to what you will go through when deployed. I want the men around me to be capable of covering my back as I will cover their back.

During my civilian career, we had random drug tests that everyone was well aware of, and were part of the job requirment. Still, we had folks that failed these tests and were fired. I served four years and really did not encounter too many poor leaders. During my civilian career, there were plenty of really bad leaders, and you just have to carry on and complete the mission.

My last boss would call weekly staff meetings that would last over an hour. He would spend five minutes talking business and the rest would be B.S. I would submit detailed weekly activity reports, so he knew what I was doing every week. I was working 60 hour weeks, and did not like these time wasting meetings. I would schedule one of my own meetings at the same time as his, so that I would miss his meetings. He moved his meeting time, so I moved the time of one of my meetings. He finally asked me if I was intentinally trying to avoid his staff meetings. With the program winding down, he was laid off, and I replaced him.

There are plenty of bad leaders around, but we control our actions. We should always put forth our best effort to accomplish the mission.
