Yea Hollywood will do that haha

There's also a TON of Spec War opportunities outside of the SEALs. For example, there is a CT on most SEAL missions that goes out. They do the same mission, jump out of the same planes, ect, but they have a different role on the team.

SWCC is also another great option, Expeditionary guys get to do a ton of fun shit, EOD, Diver, Aircrew, ect. All kinds of options.

Understand that pushing back your ship date may involve losing whatever guaranteed job you have on your current contract.

Also, it would probably benefit you more to work more on the physical aspect (your run, swim, and sit/pull/push ups) than scuba diving.

Exactly what Guppy said. You wont touch a dive rig until second phase, so get stronger, faster, and more injury resistant so you stand a chance of making it there. Also, your probably going to learn bad habbits. Go in a clean slate.

And something doesn't check out. You dont just join as a SEAL because your recruiter let you push your date back. you have to earn your contract for SO to go to BUD/S by having killer PST scores amd qualifying CSORT. Im amazed your NRS would let you move a ship date for what is still a big maybe for you. Unless your already a competitive athlete the PST isnt something you will do well at over night, let alone over a few months. The consensus is it takes about a year of solid, dedicated and specific training to put up optimal numbers in the draft.

There is a huge difference in seeing a movie and wanting to be a SEAL and being ready to actually do the necessary work to become a SEAL.

Thankyou Theo and Guppy, I won't take scuba now. My 1st pst is on wednesday, I do breastsroke 500 yds in 8:15, 55 pushup, 60 situp, 10 pullup, 10:30 run so my scores are good.

My recruiter says my swim time could give me a SEAL contract. I want lose 18 pounds and then I am even better at pst!

Swim time is good. Most mentors dont let SO hopefuls do breaststroke though, generally were required to do css.

Your push ups are 5 above minimum.
Your sit ups are 10 above minimum.
Your pull ups are 2 below minimum.

Your run time is a fail.

And unless you have practiced to the same standards as you will be proctored to and witch each activity back to back like it will be on test day, subtract a few reps from each.

If your district has an auto qual option you may get a contract if you pass all the minimums and have a combined run and swim time of Less than 18:00, but AQ is rare and you will most likely need to draft.

For the draft minimum scores are as good as fails. The top scores get picked up. The rest continue to draft until they're either competitive or ship out on their dep'd in rate.

Do more research. BUD/S isnt about passing minimums and surviving. BUD/S is about performance. Performance ensures your survival.

Dont get the wrong message, just being upfront with you.
If your running a 10+ mile on a nice track after a good night sleep, how are you going to do on a 4 mile timed run in boots and sand after shit sleep and a day of strenuous work?
