"Monthly" PT test huh? I just did my YEARLY PT test a couple months ago.
That's a great time for you after just coming off injury though, your fitness should return pretty fast once you can start running some good miles again.

Joe, I just give my guys a diagnostic PT test every month so they know where they stand and what they need to continually improve on. It keeps them away from yo-yoing with PT test related fitness.

Probably a good idea. You'd like to hope everyone can be a big boy and stay in shape on their own, but that is rarely the case, at least in the AF.

It happens a lot here too, that is why I do this with them each month. I don't think the PT test is as important with us as it is in the AF though. It is more a pride thing!
