He turned 22 while in BCT which puts him in the different age bracket. He is running a 15:20 which was his only problem in the beginning because of an ingrown toenail =( (he was running a 19min 2 mile). His situps and pushups are in the 70th "percentile" meaning he's getting at least 70 points in each category. Why are they not counting his run as being this either? According to the APFT chart it should be 70 points allotted.
His DS is saying that everyone in Echo Co. needs to get to the 70th percentile as opposed to 50 in each category. Can the DS decide on how many points each soldier in his company needs to get as opposed to following the APFT standards which are the 50 points in each category during basic, 60 during AIT and 70 later on? Can he take this up with his Commander if worse comes to worse?
I just want to see him graduate and not put through the beginnings of another cycle. He's worked his ass off literally (35 lbs lost) to succeed for our family.
