Question
how long do you have after pcsing do you have before you take a record pt test
TC 21-20 or AR 350-1 doesn't state a minimum length of time. Technically, you can be made to take one the day you arrive at a new unit. Most units will allow you some time (practice says about 90 days) to acclimate before requiring you to pass a PT test but that is entirely up to the unit commander.

I am currently an active duty Army Captain in the Military Police Field. I have been enlisted (Military Intelligence) and attended The United States Military Academy at West Point. I can answer questions related to the Army, posting, jobs, lifestyle, workings... pretty much anything you can throw at me with the exception of very specific recruting or medical questions. I have no expertise in what it takes to get in the military other than the fact that I, myself, joined at one point in time.
