[Skytrooper]

When you failed the PT in '08 your 1SG should have informed you that you had failed a test and you should have been rescheduled for 90 days out to retest. That is a command failure of the soldier. If you have completed your enlistment then you should get your bonus. You liived up to your end of the deal. 1 record APFT is all that is required of an M-Day (part time ) National Guard soldier. It does not matter the score as long as it is passing. The SGM doesn't have the authority to make you take another because he doesn't feel that you did well enough. Passing is passing ...even if it is the minimum passing score (go read FM 21-20).

I have dealt with overbearing imbeciles like this SGM for almost 32 years. He is completely wrong and is making himself subject to an article 15 UCMJ punishment.
