light/limited duty period. For Marines who are incapable of performing any
portion of a PFT or CFT, their inability will not be considered a failure and
an appropriate fitness report Section I Directed Comment will be made, in
accordance with reference (g). Commanders/OICs will ensure assistance is
provided to Marines in order to facilitate their return to full duty.
(2) To meet PPFT requirements, Marines must complete two of the three
PFT events. Marines will be required to obtain at least the minimum
acceptable performance requirements for the two events, as well as earn the
additional points needed to achieve a 3d class PFT score, or better. Event
times/repetitions will be awarded points the same way the PFT awards points.
As with a PFT, failure to meet the minimum requirements in either event
constitutes a test failure. However, no numerical score or classification
will be performed for PPFTs. For Marines requiring a composite score for
promotion purposes, commands will use the score (points) achieved during the
last semi-annual/annual PFT for the event missed. See Table 2-1 for minimum
PFT requirements and table 1-1 for a summary of administrative actions
warranted as a result of PFT failure.
(3) To meet PCFT requirements, Marines must complete at least one of
the three CFT events. Marines will be required to obtain the minimum
acceptable performance requirements for the single event. As with a CFT,
failure to meet the minimum requirement will constitute a test failure. In
most cases, musculoskeletal limitations will allow for the conduct of either
the Movement To Contact (MTC) or Ammunition Lift (AL). Considering the all-
encompassing nature of the Maneuver Under Fire (MANUF), musculoskeletal
limitations may limit participating in this event as the one selected when
performing a PCFT. CFT performance does not directly impact composite score
for promotion purposes. However, CFT/PCFT failure directly impacts promotion
eligibility. See table 3-3 for minimum CFT requirements and Table 1-1 for a
summary of administrative actions warranted as a result of CFT failure.
b. Consecutive PPFT/PCFTs
. Marines who perform a PPFT/PCFT for two
consecutive semi-annual/annual periods, for the same medical condition, will
be referred to an APHCP for MEB/PEB evaluation, in accordance with reference
(o).
c. Injury
. Marines injured while participating in a PFT/CFT may be
given credit for a PPFT if two out of three events were completed or for a
PCFT if one out of three events were completed prior to the injury. A Marine
injured during the conduct of a PFT/CFT may be afforded the opportunity to
retake a PFT/CFT once returned to full duty by an APHCP. For Marines who
elect to retake the PFT/CFT, their new score will replace the previous score
and is final. Only Commanders/OICs can authorize PPFT/PCFT credit or a
retest for Marines injured during the conduct of a PFT/CFT. Marines
completing only one event prior to the injury will receive neither a PFT
score nor PPFT credit. If assigned light duty status as a result of the
injury, the Marine will be required to retake the PFT/CFT no earlier than 30
and no later than 90 days from return to full duty status. Marines who are
evaluated and not assigned a light duty status, will retake the PFT at the
Commander’s/OIC’s discretion.
d. Illness
. Marines encountering a rapid onset illness prior to
conducting a PFT/CFT must obtain a light duty chit. Light duty chits will be
submitted to the command prior to the scheduled PFT/CFT. Only the
Commander/OIC can decide if a Marine will be authorized to take a missed
PFT/CFT or if an RDNT determination is required.
