All Soldiers scheduled for attendance at professional military schools will be screened prior to departing their home station/losing command. Heights and weights will be recorded on their TDY orders (DD Form 1610 (Request and Authorization for TDY Travel of DOD Personnel), block 16) or on their PCS packets. Soldiers exceeding the screening table weight in table 3–1 will not be allowed to depart their command until the commander has determined they meet body fat composition standards.
      
   4. Arriving at any DA board select school or those who PCS to a professional military school who do not meet body composition standards will be processed for disenrollment and, if applicable, removal from the DA board select list, as follows:

      (b) The Soldier will be provided an opportunity to submit matters in rebuttal in a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 5 working days) from receipt of notification.
      (c) The approval authority is the Soldier’s general court-martial convening authority, who will take prompt action consistent with the best interests of the Army after review of all matters submitted. The approval authority must approve enrollment denial and removal from the DA board select list if he finds that, in light of all the facts and circumstances, the Soldier’s failure to meet body fat standards was the result of a lack of self-discipline expected of a Soldier of similar rank and experience.
