When Is My Next Air Force PT Test? Due-Date Calculator

After an Excellent or Satisfactory PFRA you're due again in 6 months; Air Reserve Component (Guard and Reserve) members are due in 12 months (AFMAN 36-2905 paras. 3.10.1, 3.10.2 and 3.4.2). The AFMAN's own example: a test due in August 2026 is next due in February 2027 (para. 3.4.1). If your wing directs unit testing, your unit's bi-annual schedule sets the month (para. 3.4.1). After an Unsatisfactory or Did Not Finish you're due again in 3 months, and testing earlier needs your commander's approval (paras. 3.10.3 and 3.10.4). Your UFPM sets the official date in myFitness (paras. 2.28.4 and 7.1).

It's one calendar month counted from the day after your AF Form 469 fitness restrictions end (AFMAN 36-2905 para. 3.10.9). While a component or composite exemption is in effect you're on PFRA Hold and can't take an official PFRA, and your next PFRA is due the month after the Reconditioning Period (paras. 3.10.6 and 4.1.2). Example: a profile that expires on 10 October 2026 gives a Reconditioning Period of 11 October to 10 November, so the PFRA is due in December 2026. Modality exemptions, where you're cleared for an alternative exercise, don't use PFRA Hold (paras. 3.10.7 and 4.1.3).

It's one calendar month counted from the day after you return to duty or home station (AFMAN 36-2905 para. 3.10.8). After a deployment your next PFRA is due the month after it (para. 4.1.5). After a PCS you're allowed the Acclimatization Period from your arrival to complete a PFRA (para. 4.3.1.1). After a deployment you may volunteer to test during it, but you can't be directed to (para. 4.1.5).

No more than two logged in any 365-day period, or one for Air Reserve Component members (AFMAN 36-2905 para. 3.8.2). You decide official or diagnostic only after the PFRA Administrator gives you your composite score (para. 3.8.1), and a diagnostic is entered in myFitness without the results (para. 3.8.3). Diagnostics are taken during the current cycle, no earlier than one month before your scheduled assessment, and the WHtR can't be decoupled for one (para. 3.4.4). With two logged in 365 days you must accept the result as official (para. 3.8.2).

For a pregnancy of 20 weeks or more, the post-pregnancy PFRA is due in the 13th month after delivery: a March 2026 delivery means an April 2027 due month (AFMAN 36-2905 para. 4.1.4). For a pregnancy of fewer than 20 weeks, medical providers decide under AFI 48-133. You can't take a PFRA while pregnant (para. 4.1.4).

Once every 12 months (AFMAN 36-2905 paras. 3.4.2 and 3.10). An Unsatisfactory is still due again in 3 months, the same as for the Regular Air Force (Table 3.3). ARC members get one diagnostic PFRA in any 365 days, no earlier than one month before the annual scheduled assessment (paras. 3.8.1 and 3.8.2). Traditional Reservists and Drill Status Guardsmen may take the WHtR at the prior UTA/RSD but must finish the whole PFRA within 60 days or by the next drill, whichever comes first (para. 3.1.1).

At least one and no more than five duty days before the other components. You can also take it on the same day, but you can't be directed to (AFMAN 36-2905 paras. 3.1.1, 3.4.3 and 3.15.4.1). If you don't finish the rest within the window, the PFRA is Did Not Finish and you need a full reassessment (paras. 3.4.3 and 3.15.4.1). The AFMAN doesn't define "duty day", so check with your UFPM or FAC.

myFitness, which you reach through myFSS, is the only authorized system to schedule and score PFRAs (AFMAN 36-2905 para. 7.1), and you take the PFRA in your assigned unit assessment or the date or month myFitness assigns (para. 3.2.4). Your UFPM sets and updates your due date (para. 2.28.4), so if a date looks wrong, ask your UFPM to check it.

Your PFRA must stay current through your report-not-later-than date (RNLTD); if it would expire first, you test before leaving your losing duty station, a rule that doesn't apply to AFR members (AFMAN 36-2905 para. 4.3.1). After you arrive you're allowed the Acclimatization Period to complete a PFRA (para. 4.3.1.1). If you PCS during an Acclimatization Period, an existing composite exemption is extended through another one from the day after you arrive (para. 4.3.1.2).

Not once you have an approved separation or retirement order dated within 12 months and it's uploaded to myFitness (AFMAN 36-2905 para. 4.1.7). If the order is cancelled, you test on your original cycle; if that month has already passed, you're due after an Acclimatization Period following the cancellation (para. 4.1.7).

If your commander invalidates the PFRA after an MTF evaluation of an illness or injury, your new due month is the calendar month after the invalidation date (AFMAN 36-2905 paras. 3.12.6 and 3.12.7). If FAC/UFAC staff decide extenuating circumstances such as severe weather stopped the test and it wasn't your fault, the due month moves to the following month (para. 3.5.1). Base-wide suspensions for an AQI over 100, wildfires or similar are different: the wing commander sets new due months (para. 4.4.2).

At your unit's next scheduled PFRA or within 2 months after you arrive (AFMAN 36-2905 para. 6.1.1). Air Reserve Component members are due within 2 months after arrival. Fitness tests in BMT, tech school, OTS, the Academy and other accession programs aren't official PFRAs and aren't recorded in myFitness (para. 6.1.2).
