465+ HT/ WT Exemption

I am writing to hear your guys opinions and insight about the 465+ HT WT exemption. I took an AFT today and scored a 467 with an 80 or higher in each event. I understand according to Army Directive 2025-17 I am exempt from flagging actions for HT WT. However in the memorandum released by the DOD on Dec 18 2025 they wrote that "high scoring fitness individuals can have rights granted to them but are not exempt from body fat standards." I find not only this statement very confusing and oxymoronic but I don't understand what this means for 465 exemptions. Also, during the AFT today, the First Sergeant running it said the exemption was going away on June 1, but I couldn't find anything at all to support this claim.

TL;DR: Does anyone know if the 465+ HT WT exemption is going away or what has anyone else heard?
