Unless the soldier is on a profile that prevents it, then yes. The myth that you can't put anything after your ETS physical on a VA claim is just that. If a soldier hurts themself after the physical, they can go to sick call to get the new condition documented to add to their claim. So there's no reason that they can't participate in unit activities until their actual final out.

That's if he even made a VA claim, which btw you are stupid for NOT doing. However, some units have policies stating whether or not you do PT after the Phase 2 physical. You would have to check your post or unit policy book for that one. Just so you know your separation physicals are NOT even mandatory. And for you NCO's that wanna use that bit of information, it's not up to YOU to decide if they are going to do it. It's on the individual soldier, you cannot stop them from doing it. If you do get hurt after your Phase 2 physical make sure you go to sick call to get it documented in case you need to come back later and make a claim. You can make a claim up to 12 or 24 months after separation from active duty. I'm not sure which it is though. If you made a claim you were required to go to a VA Claims briefing where they would have put this information out to you. Your best bet if you have made a claim already and you get hurt again is to just wait for the first one to go through. If you re-submit your claim it will halt your current one and it will start over at the beginning. So it CAN be a very big hassle for the soldier if he doesn't live within a decent driving distance from a VA hospital when he gets out. It is best to have some COMMON SENSE and just not make the soldier to PT after the Phase 2. What does it really matter if he is getting out, other than to try and look good for someone?
