In changing MOS's do I have to pass PT test 1st week of AIT?

Question

I am prior service army reserve. Ive been out a couple years. I plan on signing back up under old mos but would like to enter new field and go AD next year. I heard (online) for 68x they give PT test the first week and kick you out if you aren't to standard. Is this true? B/c if it is I prob wont be able to reclass til later next year when Im more up to standard.

Answer 1

The only possible solution is to start working out and getting yourself up to standard....

Answer 2

Your best bet is to contact your nearest recruiter and ask them about this. They have all the latest requirements and regulations. I tried to go NG after being out of service for 12 years. I passed the physical and even scored a higher GT score than when I initially went in. I would have gone to AIT but not basic as I passed an impromptu PT test at the armory and would have retained my rank (E-5). However my commander-in-chief (a.k.a. my wife) didn't want me going back to Iraq. d**n that woman can read my mind.
