Navy Seal Screening

Assignment to BUD/S is conditional on passing the Diver/SEAL Physical Screening Test (PST). The minimum requirements of the PST are:

* 500 yd (460 m) swim using breast or side stroke in under 12:30
* At least 42 push-ups in 2 minutes
* At least 50 sit-ups in 2 minutes
* At least 6 pull-ups from a dead hang (no time limit)
* Run 1.5 mi (2.4 km) in boots and trousers in under 11:30

Prospective trainees are expected to exceed the minimums. "Competitive" scores are:

* 500-yard swim using breast or combat side stroke in under 10:30[9][10]
* 79 push-ups in 2 minutes[9][10]
* 79 sit-ups in 2 minutes[9][10]
* 11 pull-ups from a dead hang (no time limit)[9][10]
* Run 1.5 miles in boots and trousers in under 10:20[9][10]

The most competitive candidates for selection to attend BUD/S as officers have a combined run and swim time under 18 minutes, as well as scores far exceeding the minimum on the other events.

Re: navy seal requiremnets

The Navy Seals were shooting fish in a barrel.What wasn't widely mentioned in the Mainstream Media[MSM] was that the
"Somali Pirates"were attached by a tow line to the USS Bainbridge getting ready to surrender,and were reeled in to within 75 feet of the ship,then taken out at close range in what amounts to a "hit job".
But most of the public loved,and it took their minds off of other things for a while,while proving a PR boon to president Obama.

Obama and the pirates: the glorification of state violence

16 April 2009

Excerpted from:
http://www.wsws.org/articles/2009/ap...pers-a16.shtml

On the scale of world events, the standoff was in and of itself a fairly minor episode?a hostage situation.
Every police department is trained to deal with such events. Manuals for how they should be handled universally stress that the objective is to resolve the incident peacefully, protect the lives of the hostages and the police, and, if possible, avoid the application of lethal force.

In this instance, the hostage-taking was transformed into a media-orchestrated drama and a high-stakes political test of President Barack Obama?s willingness to use armed force. The killing of the pirates became a political objective in its own right.

In the aftermath of the killings, the media exploited the American public?s understandable relief over Captain Phillips? survival and turned it into a bloodthirsty celebration of executions by sniper fire. Totally lost in the media?s perverse satisfaction that the pirates?three Somali teenagers?were killed has been any questioning of whether the shootings were justified or, even within the framework of US foreign policy, advisable.

The official claim that the killings were necessary because the captain was in imminent danger is not convincing. Before the pirates were killed, a fourth member of their band, aged 16, had given himself up to the US Navy to get treatment for wounds suffered in the attempt to hijack the American cargo ship. His three associates, exhausted and thinking they were negotiating to secure their own lives in exchange for the release of the captain, had allowed themselves to be attached to the US warship Bainbridge with a tow line, which was then reeled to within 75 feet of the ship. This hardly indicates that the pirates were preparing for a desperate last stand. Moreover, for the military snipers, trained to hit targets at a distance of a mile or more, the killing of the pirates presented no serious challenge.

The decision to execute the pirates was taken for political reasons. It served to disarm Obama?s critics on the right and prove the president?s mettle to the military and the American ruling elite. This was made clear as the White House almost immediately issued an official statement crediting Obama with the authorization of deadly force. That Captain Phillips emerged alive from this situation was an accidental byproduct of a politically motivated decision.

The most telling indication of the nature of these killings is the reaction of the corporate media, which combined articles on how much of a political ?win? the incident was for Obama with obscene bloodlust in relation to the dead Somalis.

It is hard to be shocked anymore by the media; its political servility, backwardness and appeals to the basest instincts have been part of the American political landscape for so long. But in this case, there was a savagery that seemed almost unhinged.

Most notable was the response of the Washington Post, which functions as a paper of record in the US capital. Two days after the rescue, it carried a banner headline on its front page: ?Three pirates, three rounds, three dead bodies.?

The paper?s foreign affairs columnist David Ignatius penned a column entitled ?In praise of snipers.? It read: ?Just as the policy mavens were beginning to debate elaborate political-military strategies for dealing with the Somali pirates, we were reminded that the best solution is sometimes the simplest and most direct?in this case, a sniper?s rifle.? The column goes on to argue that the solution to the crisis in Somalia?and those elsewhere?is to be found in covert CIA and Special Forces killing squads moving ?quickly and quietly to alter the balance of power on the ground.?

For those old enough to remember the role of the sniper in American history?the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King come to mind?the publication of this sort of fascist-minded filth in a major newspaper is especially disgusting.

Almost entirely absent from the media is intelligent commentary on Somalia?s crisis and the repeated US military interventions that have contributed so decisively to its breakdown and to the growth of piracy. Much in the same way that the media eschewed any political explanation for the 9/11 attacks for fear of being accused of ?justifying terrorism,? so the same rhetorical terrorism is used to silence any critical assessment of the US role in Somalia, which is branded as ?defending piracy

SEAL vs MMA in a ring. Advantage MMA. SEAL vs MMA in the jungle. SEAL... big advantage. In a dark alley, at night, give me the SEAL. Ain't no rules in an alley. HB lifeguard vs SEAL. Advantage SEAL everywhere.

Rail vs SEAL? Rail might have a shot if the SEAL laughs himself to death in the first 15 seconds.

Rail vs HB lifeguard? A draw. They'd end up in bed together within 10 minutes.

BUD/S Training: Basic Conditioning

[SIZE=-1]BUD/S obstacle course[/SIZE]</center>[/FONT] </td></tr></tbody></table> Basic Conditioning is when the going gets rough. This is the phase where most Drops on Request (DOR) happen. For eight weeks, trainees' days are filled with running, swimming, calisthenics, and learning small-boat operations. One-to-2 mile ocean swims and running the mother of all obstacle courses are daily, and timed, events. A trainee's time for these exercises must continuously improve. Another important part of basic conditioning is drown-proofing. In this evolution, trainees must learn to swim with both their hands and their feet bound. To pass drown-proofing, trainees enter a 9-foot-deep pool and complete the following steps with their hands and feet tied:

  1. bob for 5 minutes
  2. float for 5 minutes
  3. swim 100 meters
  4. bob for 2 minutes
  5. do some forward and backward flips
  6. swim to the bottom of the pool and retrieve an object with their teeth
  7. return to the surface and bob five more times

[SIZE=-1]Drown-proofing[/SIZE]</center>[/FONT] </td></tr></tbody></table> Another evolution is surf torture, also called "cold water conditioning." The water temperatures usually hover around 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18 C), and never go above 68 degrees F (20 C). From there, trainees may be ordered to do some calisthenics or run a mile and a half down the beach in their wet clothes and boots. Then, they're ordered back into the surf. Many drills also require that teams carry their rubber boats over their heads as they run from one task to another.

BUD/S Training: Hell Week

<!-- dtl_id=39599 //--> The fourth week of Basic Conditioning is known as Hell Week. This is when students train for five days and five nights solid with a maximum total of four hours of sleep. Hell Week begins at sundown on Sunday and ends at the end of Friday. During this time, trainees face continuous training evolutions. During Hell Week, trainees get four meals a day -- sometimes MREs, but usually hot meals of unlimited quantities. Eating hot food is a substitute for being warm and dry. It gives a needed psychological boost to tired trainees, many of whom are nearly sleeping while they eat.
<table align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" width="400"> <tbody> <tr> <td>[FONT=arial,helvetica] <center>
[SIZE=-2]Official U.S. Navy photo[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]BUD/S training[/SIZE]</center>[/FONT] </td></tr></tbody></table> Pretty much every evolution during Hell Week involves the team (or boat crew) carrying their boat -- inflatable rubber Zodiacs -- over their heads. Timed exercises, runs, and crawling through mud flats are interspersed throughout the five-and-a-half days. The largest number of trainees drops out during Hell Week. This extreme training is critical, though. SEALs on missions must be able to operate efficiently, oblivious to sub-zero temperatures and their own physical comfort. Their lives, as well as the lives of others, may depend on it.

[SIZE=-2]Official U.S. Navy photo[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]BUD/S seamanship training[/SIZE]</center>[/FONT] </td></tr></tbody></table> Listening closely to orders is another critical element of training during BUD/S, particularly during Hell Week when brains are getting fuzzy from lack of sleep. The instructor may purposely leave out part of an order to see who is really listening. For example, during a series of orders requiring trainee teams to do exercises using a 300-pound (136-kg) log, he may leave out mention of the log for one order. Team leaders who are paying attention will catch this, and their team gets a small break in the difficulty of the task by performing it without having to carry the log. The instructor might reward the team by allowing it to stand by the fire and rest, or sit and sleep for a few minutes.

BUD/S Training: SCUBA and Land Warfare

<!-- dtl_id=39601 //--> [SIZE=+1]SCUBA[/SIZE]
Since much of a SEAL's work is done underwater, SCUBA (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus) and combat swimming are top priorities for training.

<table align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" width="400"> <tbody> <tr> <td>[FONT=arial,helvetica] <center>
[SIZE=-2]Official U.S. Navy photo[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]SEAL SCUBA training[/SIZE]</center>[/FONT] </td></tr></tbody></table> SEALs train extensively for eight weeks in closed-circuit SCUBA systems and underwater navigation.
[SIZE=+1]Land Warfare[/SIZE]
During land-warfare training, SEALs train for nine weeks in intelligence-gathering and structure penetration, long-range reconnaissance and patrolling, and close-quarters battle. They are also trained to react to sniper attacks and to use "edged" weapons such as knives and other blades. SEALs must be able to drive any vehicle and be skilled in high-speed and evasive driving techniques. Hand-to-hand combat is also taught during this phase of training.
To be prepared for anything, they are taught the tactics small units must use, including handling explosives, infiltrating enemy lines, recovery (snatch-and-grab) techniques, and proper handling of prisoners. SEALs must also be able to survive in extreme environments and provide medical treatment (field medicine).

On January 6, 2002, during Operation Enduring Freedom (2001-2003), SEALs were sent to the landlocked country of Afghanistan in search of Osama Bin Laden and other terrorists hiding in the caves of Zawar Kili. What was supposed to be a 12-hour mission turned into an eight-day mission.
SEALs and other SOCOM (Special Operations Command) operators searched more than 70 caves over a 3-mile-long ravine near the Pakistani border. Their search turned up caches of weapons, ammunition, supplies, and a wealth of intelligence information. They survived the unexpectedly extended mission on supplies they found in the al-Qaeda camps.

  • [SIZE=-1] During Operation Enduring Freedom, Naval Special Warfare (NSW) forces carried out more than 75 special reconnaissance and direct-action missions, destroying more than 500,000 pounds of explosives and weapons; positively identifying enemy personnel and conducting Leadership Interdiction Operations in the search for terrorists trying to escape by sea-going vessels. NSW forces continue to operate in Afghanistan, routing out Taliban and other terrorist forces. [/SIZE]
In the book Warrior Soul: The Memoir of a Navy SEAL, former SEAL Chuck Pfarrer describes how a mission to protect a U.S. Navy amphibious ship (at an undisclosed location) turned into the capture of would be-terrorists. As leader of his SEAL detachment, Pfarrer was responsible for securing the ship in port while its cargo of ammunition was unloaded.
After searching many fishing boats in the vicinity of the harbor, Pfarrer noticed a fishing boat coming into the area that didn't look like the others. He became suspicious and jumped into a Zodiac boat with two other SEALs, intending to search the slowly approaching boat. Maneuvering to prevent the boat from having access to the ship, they turned to face the boat head-on in order to force it to stop. Confirming their suspicions, the boat began increasing its speed.
The Zodiac was running side by side with the fishing boat, and Pfarrer was yelling "Halt!" -- but the boat's driver wouldn't stop. As the Zodiac got closer, one of the men in the boat began reaching under a fishing net for what looked like an AK-47. The Zodiac driver sharply turned and rammed the Zodiac into the fishing boat. Pfarrer pulled out his gun to fire a warning shot across the hull of the boat, but his gun jammed. He jumped into the fishing boat with the men, followed by the other two SEALs.
After a brief struggle, they tied up the men on the fishing boat. Looking beneath the nets, they found two large bundles of Yugoslavian-made TNT taped together with fuses ready, along with two AK-47s. Explosives of this type are designed to punch holes in a ship's steel hull. The men in the fishing boat were combat swimmers preparing to attach these explosives to the anchored U.S. Navy ship.

Navy SEAL Unconventional Warfare

<!-- dtl_id=39607 //--> During the Persian Gulf War (a.k.a. Operation Desert Storm, 1991), after a month of air attacks against Iraq, Allied forces were ready to move into Iraq-occupied Kuwait and begin the ground war. With 17,000 Marines in ships off the coast of Kuwait City, the Foxtrot platoon from SEAL Team One had the mission of creating a diversion. The plan was to make the Iraqis believe that Allied forces were planning an amphibious attack. In the dark of night, the SEAL team approached the Kuwaiti shore in landing boats, stopping about 500 yards out and swimming the rest of the way in. Each SEAL towed a 20-pound case of explosives. Right under enemy noses, they planted the explosives on the Kuwaiti beach and swam back to their boats. The explosives were set to go off at 1 a.m.
As the land explosives went off, the SEALs fired automatic weapons and launched grenades, creating a huge amount of noise that caught the attention of the Iraqis. The noise, combined with the force of Marines seen off the coast, convinced the Iraqis that the attack was coming from the sea. They pulled two divisions from the front line and moved them to the coast, only to find the SEALs and the Marine diversion gone. The ground war began against a much weakened Iraqi force.

A seal has No FUKKIn chance Whatsoever in a run swim run against a top life guard. Lifeguards are are almost to a man scholarship swimmers. Seals are amature swimmers, they are roidheads with guns who signed up with the navy.

Everybody is looking for a hero, especially the cowards who live in the usa.

Uh, no. Once again you are talking about stuff you no nothing about. The military is not begging anyone to come in and all branches are meeting recruiting goals with ease.

Let me ask you this if you think the lifeguard gig is so prestigious. Would you rather tell someone on a city streety you are a Huntingdon Beach lifeguard or a U.S. Navy SEAL? You don't just stumble into being a SEAL. And these dudes want the job so they can get paid to sit in a chair and look at beaver all day. Who wouldn't want that job?

lifeguards in huntington beach get way more chicks then navy seal, that a fact, girls that like lifeguards in Orange County are hot, girls that like navy seals are warpigs. Navy seal make about 30K a yr, HB lifeguards make 200K a year. Swim out into 20 foot surf and save a life, I dont want some jarhead with a gun trying to save me, I prefer a PAc 12 swim champion.

Not this fucking thread again.

Rail, you are mentally retarded if you actually believe any of the dumb shit you've said in this thread.

Navy Seal is -5000 vs a HB LifeGaurd in basically any sort of physical challenge you can think of.

What do the chicks there think of creepy old guys playing paddle tennis and lurking around mens volleyball matches and little league parks?
