Navy Diver

Iamchriswest · 07-26-2013, 05:46 PM

Im not physically ready to take on such a challenge. And if i fail i dont want to end up in "the needs of the navy" so i would definetly want to wait to get use to being physically active again and just being use to the navy.

I second what was said, the only way to guarantee a shot at diver is to get a contract in DEP. It's a tough program. We started dive prep with 21, 8 graduated today and are heading to Panama City this weekend. If you do get to dive prep/school and don't make it you will get to reclass. You will be given a list of jobs and get to choose one, you will not just be sent somewhere. They will have you go on a Monday morning when all the new jobs are released. When I went I had about 15 different jobs to choose from.

I would really like to get a contract but i know im not ready to take on such a challenge. I can swim alright and stuff but im not ready for dive school. Thats why i would like to try after ive been in the navy for a while and im in a heck of a better shape than i am now.

You gotta start somewhere man. Start getting in shape now. I would be patient with it as well. Try to get a contract while you're in DEP, and don't leave until you get one. After I got my dive contract, I had to wait an additional 6 months to ship out. Now, I'm glad I waited. If you want it bad enough, you'll do anything to get there

What did you guys do in Prep that made so many drop out?

I'm not a Navy man but I'd think a better question would be "What didnt the candidates do to be better prepared before they got there ? A word of advise.... If you think you are physically prepared, train hard and long for a couple weeks ... then on your 14th day, right before you are totally exhaused and beat down and ready to collapse on your bed, then do a PST and see what your scores are....
