I'm up for the next ANG O-4 PV promotion board, and all my records are in order. BUT my last fitness test was in May 2025, and with all the fitness changes my current due date is still 6 months out in October. Some in our CSS are saying/they have heard that it is needed for me to rush and take a fitness test "now" to avoid being disqualified later in the process.
Can anyone shed light on whether this is a legitimate concern? I can pass the test, and certainly will have another passing test before I am due, but traveling and getting on orders so I can be in a duty status to take the test "now" is going to cost me at work and time away from my family. I'll bite the bullet and make it happen if this is likely to cost me a promotion cycle, but it seems like a stretch to ask people to test 6 mo early for this kind of thing. If someone knows how this actually works I would love to know.
