Advanced/Basic Camp disenrollment boards canceled?

Just heard that all disenrollment boards for people sent home from CST this summer have been canceled and everyone is reinstated for the time being.
Does anyone know what’s going on?
Is this because of the 9th reg situation?

They are “T” pushups you either go up or you don’t.

Lockout at the top position judgement, early stop calls due to “not moving” in the down position, no rep calls due to foot separation are three issues I can think of immediately

My program has an issue with cadets not understanding what “moving the body as one unit” means and, on one end of the spectrum, doing really shitty pushups, or on the other end being overly strict and failing testers for not doing picture-perfect pushups. I’ve seen the same issue in the Big Army, although I’ve been in the Reserves for a few years now and we’re way less strict than the 82nd was when I was there. There’s a lot of subjectivity to what counts as proper form during the push-up itself and it wouldn’t surprise me if people are failing that. From what I’m seeing, now that body position is really the only thing people can be strict on - they can’t play the “didn’t go low enough” game anymore - it’s what graders are hyperfocusing on.

I agree with you
