after an ets physical do you have to do pt in the army.?
536024
Yes, you are required to continue to be able to pass the APFT and meet the requirements of AR 600-9 until you are discharged from the Army.  If you have not completed your eight-year total commitment, you are required to meet these standards even after you ETS, since you can be recalled to active duty at any time within that period of obligation.

Upon entry into the military you are given a complete physical. Are tested for HIV periodically. And medical screening before and after deployment. A soldier can get checked for STDs when ever he or she wants to. It's a matter of going on sick call and asking.\nCan I ask why do you ask?

You can do that if you go enlisted. They will help you get your bachelors, its called TA tuition assistance, as well as having the MGIB.

Absolutely.  PT will help you improve your knee strength, range of motion, and balance before your operation.  After the surgery, your knee will be weak and have limited motion.  It will be worse if you do not have PT before the surgery.  The PT will also educate you on what to do immediately following the operation (exercises, how to use crutches, etc) and when you go back to them for PT after the surgery, they already know your history.

It's pretty common these days, mostly done by signing for 6 years active instead of 4. \nMy daughter finished tech school as an E-3, went below the zone for E-4, was selected  Air Force Material Command Airman of the year (automatic promotion) and made E-5 in 3 years .\nSo if you want rank quickly the way to do it is to first enlist for 6 years active, and then get serous and work your butt off instead of drinking and carousing.

Army weight control standards are regulated under the US Army AR 600-9 (Army Regulation 600-9).\n\nTable 3-1 lists the height/weigh standards. If you exceed the height/weight standards (the BMI is an average) you're taped to determine your body fat percentage. As long as your fat% is within the index (table 3-2) you're fine.\n\nGood Luck!

not on initial entry.  If they develop diabetes while in the military they can continue to serve, but will be awaiting a medical board to consider their continuing or medical discharge

you can't.  besides, that status changes daily, and just because you get sent to a base that isn't due up doesn't mean he won;t get sent IA.\n\nand do NOT go to Ft Drum.  Just as cold as Alaska.  and less pretty in the summer.  \n\nIf you are on EFMP<keep inmind that it only limits places YOU can go, if the need arises, they can and will give your spouse Unacompanied orders.    your condition also will NOT get him out fo a deployment.  trust me.  Mine has deployed several times, and I also have a chronic condition that prevents me from driving.

NOPE, but you CAN be a member of the 101st AND be RANGER qualifed. AND you can be a RANGER and NOT be AIRBORNE qualified (you have to be in the 10th mtn div known as "LEG" rangers) alot of people get the idea of the ADDITIONAL SKILL IDENTIFIERS mixed up with UNIT designations -So the 101st is an infantry UNIT and the 75th is an Infantry unit ,AIRBORNE is an additional skill identifier as well as RANGER is an additional skill identifier both come with "TABS" sewn on uniform above unit patch -you can be one or both

I am an R. N., but not familiar with this term, but I see no one has answered you after several hours.  So, I was thinking, if you are working in  hospital, call the nursing unit where the pt. is and ask the nurses, or if you are in an out pt. facility, call the dr's office, and ask his nurse there.  Good Luck

That's right, get it into your contract. ask for it. and yes they need airborne soldiers and marines. I never got it in my contract, but i went airborne when I got stationed at Ft Benning, home of the airborne school. So they used to give so many slots to Ft Benning soldiers stationed there. I was lucky so don't count on doing what I did. when I did go I'd say at least a third of our training class were marines. They also had air force, navy, ROTC cadets and females in the class, also privates, 1st sgts, Col, LT, all ranks. They also had chaplains cooks, mechanics, admin, medics, tankers,,,,,, you get my point? \n\nThe school is physically demanding and we didn't need pens and paper back then. Be able to run a decent 7-8 minute mile and make sure you can do plenty of push-ups and chin-ups. (don't forget sit-ups). It used to be a min of 42 push 45 sit ups and be able to pass the 2 mile run under 15:30 and do 6 chin-ups, I went a couple of decades ago so im sure its changed, good luck hope you make it!

Contact the Department of Transportation of your state for a list of schools that offer training and for the licensing regulations.  In some states you can be trained in a vocational school as well as community college.  Some communities offer EMT training through the fire department.  A good source of information is the National Registry of EMT's.  The army health care specialist is the enlisted military occupational specialty (MOS) designation, 91 IW and requires 16 weeks of intensive training.  Emergency medical technicians must receive continuinjg education to maintaintheir license and many take advanced courses to become paramedics or physician's assistants.

from my experience  about 95% made it through, from my platoon.   Not quite sure on overall numbers though.....a big part of it is that you have to meet certain physical requirements before going in

It really depends on which branch of service you were in.  In the Navy if you had an RE-3 it was usually followed with a letter code such as RE-3P which meant you got out on a physical.  I got out with an RE-3Z which meant that I took SSB/VSI.  As far as re-enlistment goes it really depends on the letter code that comes after.  If you got an RE-3P for a shoulder injury and you want to come back in a few years after it heals... maybe no problem.  If you got out on a 3P for something more serious or dependancy (drug/alcohol) it seriously reduces your chances of re-enlistment.  But don't forget that each service has their own codes. So see your local recruiter first.  The Marine Corps has only one code that is good for immediate re-enlistment (RE-1A), anything other than that will keep you out of the Corps, but not necessarily out of the National Guard (for example).  If your particular RE code keeps you out of your original branch, check out other branches and don't forget Guard and Reserves.  Good luck in your military career.

Unfortunately nowadays...it is VERY difficult for them to let go. I got a General Discharge under Honorable conditions while being activated under the Army reserves. My best advice is to get out if you are not deployed. Fail PT tests or gain weight. If you are deployed it will be that much harder...It will take time, but if you don't mind it is possible. Seek for a medical discharge or you have to file a claim against their beleifs...something like you are against war and can not be in the Army beacuse of your religion. It will take time, but it will be worth it. GOOD LUCK!\n...FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO CLUE, IT IS NEVER TO LATE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND, AND SOMETIMES YOU ARE NOT TOLD THE TRUTH, NOT JUST ABOUT THE MONEY, BUT TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL, HELP WITH SCHOOL, AND THE ACTUAL JOB YOU WOULD BE DOING. I SIGNED UP TO BE AN ADMINISTRATIVE SPECIALIST, AND I ENDED UP BEING DEPLOYED FOR POSTAL WORK IN SOME INFANTRY UNIT RIGHT IN THE HEART OF IRAQ. I HAD NO TIME FOR SCHOOL, WHEN I APPLIED FOR VA ASSISTANCE I WAS DENIED, AND MOST OF ALL WHEN I WAS SICK THEY PRETTY MUCH SAID 'WELL YOU LOOK PHYSICALLY OKAY, SO O WELL.' THEY FINALLY LET ME GO, WHEN I SHOWED THEM PROOF OF MY REGUALR DR. AND SAW THAT I WAS NOT OKAY!

If it is prescribed from a doctor for the appropriate thing, such as weight loss. I believe so. You probably just need to let your first Sargent know or the person above you in your unit. Then there should be no problems. But it would be best to go to a doctor on post to have it prescribed. He would be the best person to really let you know for sure.

Yes. But you will have to be selected for ranger school after you enlist. It's also possible to have a special forces contract with the Army if you have high ASVEB test score and a hig PT score.
