    What was his PFT?


  3. #3
    I didnt even know they'd let a rifle unk graduate, much less promote him.

    He should have been set back.

    I don't know what his PFT score was but at least he was passing,but still.

    No, I know a guy who unked twice, both table one and two, MULTIPLE times...he still graduated, and didn't get dropped...also, I know a guy in my platoon who failed the IST, and EVERY PFT in boot. He didn't get sent back, nor dropped, either.

    I guess they just don't really care anymore...

    Stupid... One of our requirements was Sharpshooter+ score, 1st class PFT, and something else,, can't remember.

    He should have been set back with the training days not counting.

    When I was in Bootcamp a guy shot himself in the head in front of me on the range. I wasnt allowed to finish the range and I was set back one week. I cant believe this.

    Holy ****, I remember hearing about that. Is this the guy who was the guide and was afraid he was going to UNk, and kept asking the guy "how many rounds you got left" before he grabbed the rifle and stuck it in his mouth?

    If he is a contract PFC, it does not matter if he goes unk a couple of times. As long as he still passes in the allotted attempts, he will still get PFC.

    That is what I said when I heard the story. Hopefully this devil will let me know if what I was told is truth, or fiction.
