If a BTM/BO fails a PFT, do they have to redo the entire thing or can they just pass the section they failed? Can they take it less than 24hrs later? They passed the run, pushups, but missed the situps by 2. They claimed right after the run they felt a bit sick and we jumped right into the next part. I cant find it in the MLEM. Thanks.

I would say that it falls to the judgment of the BO giving the PFT, or to that of the command. In the future you could remedy the problem by doing the run last as well. That would take away any possible excuses.

Yes, you can re-take only the portion of the test that was failed, and yes they can do it 24 hrs later.

How often does the member workout? Judging that they failed a portion of the PFT and felt sick after a 1.5 mile run they may not workout often, which the PFT would make that person sore the next day and in turn fail again. Therefore, I recommend waiting several days before a re-test that way there is no excuses. Devilcoastie is correct you can re-test only the portion failed.

If you miss the PFT by one push-up, or one Sit-up, or even one second you're considered in poor physical condition by The Cooper Institute. They also conducted a study that rated the average law enforcement officer in the 48th percentile of society when it comes to physical fitness.

LOL... That is great

What manual says you can retake the portion of a pt test. They are in the process of discharging me after 18.7 years for not passing my run.

OK, I got to wave a BS flag on that. If that is the actual reason for a pending discharge, then the discharge won't happen. Are you realy being truthful about the underlying reason for the discharge?

Hmmm. Is it just me, or does anyone else think we're not getting the whole story?

This is pathetic. The PFT should be mandatory for all and there are BTM/BOs who need to make up the sit up portion? Put down the jelly donuts, get off your arse and work out regularly if that's what it takes to pass all three portions. Then again, the maternity ODU is on the way so we can hide the fat.
