I have a family member who has been in AROTC for 2 years and has just started his MSIII year. During this time, he has never passed his APFT.
This summer he was sent to Basic Camp, where he told his parents he had a PT test during the first few days (which he did not pass, again) but there was no other PT done throughout the Camp, and no other testing. He concluded the Camp advising his parents he would be Contracting once school starts again. This in itself seemed odd to me, but not my overall question.
If he Contracts as a non-scholarship MSIII, can he continue and complete his Junior year without ever passing the APFT? If so, at what point does PT become a disenrollment issue?
I understand as an MSIII your Fall and Spring APFT scores provide 3% each of your OML, and then your score in Advanced Camp adds an additional 6%. But will you be able to even attend Advanced Camp if you've never passed any of the PT tests?
Should his parents (and he) be prepared for the possibility of being disenrolled from AROTC?
Thank you!
