Seal?
I am in navy dep, I just recently told my recruiter I want to be Navy Seal. He tells me that I qaulify barely on asvab so I can try out for a Navy Seal position if I want but if I doon't get it I join the regular Navy. I said okay because I need to join Navy. Do you know what % of people make it to become Navy Seal? Do you know what the hardest part of Navy Seal training is? Thank you

First things first, you have to actually make it to BUD/S.
Selection for the warrior challenge program is highly competitive. If your good to go medically and your line scores qualify you will still need to take a physical screening test (PST) and computerized special operations resilience test (CSORT). The pst consists of a 500yd swim (CSS or breast stroke only), 2min max push ups, 2min max sit ups, max pull ups, and a 1.5 mile run. You will be placed in a national draft with the most competitive scores being awarded contracts to attend BUD/S. Your scores would need to be competitive, not minimums and not average. I just contracted in September and ship SO 20150326. Feel free to ask if you have other questions. |

theo- correct me if I'm wrong, but I know that the motivator for my regional area has workout sessions every month for people with Navy Challenge contracts and people wanting to get them.
OP, if that's something you'd want to do, then it would probably be highly recommended. |

Edit: heads up, you'd need to earn a contract before your 45 days out from your current ship date in order to re rate to SO. |

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. /r CTT1 |

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.

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.

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? |

I can't tell if your just really naive or trolling. If not, its a little crazy how cavalier you are towards your future. Tomorrow will be an eye opener. |

Just got back from pst. We did run on treadmills Theo! Because it was colder then 32*. They made us put incline at 1% and they write down the time/distance of when you start. I try to start at 10mph but I had to cut down to 8mph. Final time was 10:20.
Final result is swim 8;21 pushup 64 situp 62 pullup 10 run 10;20. They say my numbers are good first time showing. And good for 18 yo. And a guy with a SEAL contract stay after pst to help me get Navy SEAL stroke down. He was very helpful. Now I am excited for pst 2 weeks from now! I dont know why you write I was trolling. This was the first snow we had here all winter! |
