But not everyone goes to Annual Training.

I had three different AT's my company was parsed out to support. We didn't go as an entire unit. There just isn't a consideration of how this is going to work.

There's just so many "required" tasker schools and training folks are using AT funding for they essentially can skip annual training.

What's going to happen is essentially only a large minority is going to pass it. Too many are going to have expired record APFT scores the problem will simply have to be ignored.

It's going to be treated like Marksmanship. Yes, everyone should get an annual qualification, but it's not the end of the world if you don't, and it only REALLY matters if one is up for promotion presuming it's a year where they aren't waiving requirement anyway.

Then if you TRULY need to do it you can probably just hook up with a unit in the area running the event.

I'm not saying the current APFT is the way to go, but the most important aspect of it was you didn't need any special equipment and you could take it anywhere.
