I am coming off of ACL reconstruction surgery. I had a 90 day profile. I am completely off my profile and in the recovery phase. I am no longer on profile. I was told that I could not go to the range today because my profile ended 30 days ago. Is there any regulation that states that when a Soldier is in recovery time they cannot go to the range. TOP can you help me out with this Scooby Doo mystery?
There is no regulation that I know of that prevents you from going to the range.
FM 7-22 states you have twice the length of your profile not to exceed 90 days to prepare to take a For Record APFT, but this does not apply to field training or weapon ranges.
To my knowledge there is nothing that prevents you from going to the range, once you have been returned to full duty status you are good to go unless you have a temporary profile that stops you from wearing your gear, firing a weapon, or otherwise participating in field or range training.
