Retaining phase 5 or phase 5+ status when PCSing to 2nd half of your Army AIT?

**RESOLVED**: I talked to my Commander today, and he told me that this was put in place to stop people from going off the deep end and getting fat and out of shape if they go on leave in between phases.. So I am just going to assume there is no TRADOC Reg that addresses this, so my question and concern is answered, I think.


Thank you for any and all responses!




I have an AIT with a phase 1 for 6 months in one location and roughly 6 months in another location. The way my company currently runs the phases for students is: you will earn your phase privileges back after PCSing, however, you have to wait to pass a PT test before you can get whatever phase privelages back. Obviously this is annoying for married students as, there will be a period of time where the student will be required to live in the barracks until they can get into a PT test (because of COVID we've not done PT tests for about 3+months), obviously people are very frustrated. It was recently brought to the attention of some of us that, we shouldn't have to retake a PT test and that our phase should just be honored from the get-go.

Does anyone know if there is a TRADOC regulation that discusses this topic? Or does anyone else have any experiences regarding this?
I hope I've explained this well enough, if anyone needs clarification on the situation please ask and I will try my best.

Thanks for any and all help!
