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]

Re: navy seal requiremnets

Any 14 yr old on any highschool swim team can do this stuff. I am in the worst shape of my life right now and Im pretty sure I can do it. I thought the requirements were tougher.

The cut to be a Huntington Beach lifeguard is tougher.

Re: navy seal requiremnets

This is just the basic physical test, to weed out the ones who don't stand a chance. There are plenty other physical and mental "tests" they must get through, of course. Some people are physically strong, but are unable to cope with the mental a psychological evaluations. Some make it past all theses evaluations and still dont make the cut.

How much, Rail? And I don't think they're giving them a week to do it which is what it would take you to finish this. It's good to see you're not just an idiot when it comes to picking winners at the Masters.

Re: navy seal requiremnets

Re: navy seal requiremnets

when i joined the Navy in 92', after we took the standard swim test they showed us a short vid of SEAL training for anyone who did good on the standard test. I don't remember what the minimum times and standards were back then, but i seem to remember them being pretty fuckin hard. I know in just that short vid we watched in class there was tough looking things they were doing in training.
There were SEALs that also watched over the standard swim test, and some talked to guys afterwards that were interested. I overheard some of conversations, and as someone mentioned, it sounded like there was alot more to it than just being able to swim good and do some push-ups and sit-ups.

You sir, are a damn donkey. This is just the minimum requirement to even be considered for BUDS training. There's no way on earth you'd finish the first 5 days of BUDS training.

I watched a documentary on BUDS the other day and there was a class attending that started with 89 students. Only 16 graduated the BUDS training. Now, these 89 are not out of shape slobs like yourself. These are in shape active young men and only 16 made it out of 89! You have no idea what you're talking about.

I've been to many countries and talked to many foreign military members and the one thing they always have in common is an utmost respect for U.S. Navy Seals.

Let's face the facts though that not many of us here could become a Ranger, Pararescuman or Marine Recon. The training is way beyond what any of us can imagine.

Re: navy seal requiremnets

From the Navy SEALs' creed:

"My loyalty to country and team is beyond reproach. I humbly serve as a guardian to my fellow Americans, always ready to defend those who are unable to defend themselves. I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions. I voluntarily accept the inherent hazards of my profession, placing the welfare and security of others before my own. I serve with honor on and off the battlefield. The ability to control my emotions and my actions, regardless of circumstance, sets me apart from other men. ... In the absence of orders I will take charge, lead my teammates and accomplish the mission. ... I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on adversity. My nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight."

OH my God gentlemen-go to Coranado Island where they train one time. Ask a seal about Hell Week-underwater compass tests- the training is pure hell-they run everywhere they go- watched a little while in the USMC while going thru beach assault training. It is a voluntary move on a mans part to try to make it, and I would say 1 in 100 or so get thru it. You kinda need to be an expert at at things combat related. Bless you all gentlemen.12io4j2w90

There's also a 3rd phase which is held at San Clemente Island.

He went through SEAL training twice, both times flunked out on the part where they drown you....yes drown you, then resuscitate you. Something about knowing what it feels like to drown and how far you can push yourself.

Re: navy seal requiremnets

Thanks Pick and Win - I am going back to 1970--we were taken there for training-and also to learn how to waterproof equipment-survive on lifeboats,and climb the ships nets,as well as beach assaults. The vehicles were called ducks then. We trained right next door. On Sat. nights they had what were called Smokers. They were open air boxing matches--nobody ever quit-or so it seemed. I was in San Clemente many times-via Camp Pendleton. San Clemente was the western White House. Cannot recall for which president. Anyway sir- thank you for understanding what I was referring to. Best of luck ta all here, Land of the free -because of the brave.12io4j2w90Thanks you VETS out there.

In the end, it was a single moment that brought the hostage crisis to its dramatic finish.

<SCRIPT type=text/javascript _extended="true"> var CNN_ArticleChanger = new CNN_imageChanger('cnnImgChngr','/2009/WORLD/africa/04/13/somalia.rescue.breakdown/imgChng/p1-0.init.exclude.html',2,1);//CNN.imageChanger.load('cnnImgChngr','imgChng/p1-0.exclude.html');</SCRIPT><!--endclickprintexclude-->Three gunshots. All three fatal. Fired in the dark by three specially trained U.S. Navy SEALs as the pirates' boat rocked in the water off Somalia.
"Phenomenal shots -- 75 feet away," said Navy Vice Adm. Bill Gortney, who oversees the region.
A senior defense official told CNN that each was a shot to the head.
Gortney, in an interview Monday with CNN's "American Morning," described critical steps that led to the rescue of U.S. Capt. Richard Phillips, who was taken by pirates after they boarded his merchant ship, the Maersk Alabama, east of Somalia on Wednesday.
Four pirates had been holding Phillips in a small lifeboat, which had run out of fuel. "One of their pirates had left the lifeboat, needed medical attention and jumped onto one of our inflatable boats," Gortney said. Watch Gortney describe how SEALs shot pirates ?
The pirate's need for medical help was a credit to the Maersk's crew. When the pirates first boarded their vessel, a tussle ensued, during which one of the crewmen stabbed the pirate in the hand. Four days later, the pirate's departure from the lifeboat to accept U.S. medical help -- and try to negotiate the captive's release -- left only three for the U.S. snipers to keep their eyes on.
<!--startclickprintexclude-->The three were "tired," Gortney said. "The sea state was picking up. They agreed for us to tow them into little better waters as the ship was bouncing around. It was very tense."
The on-scene U.S. commander of the USS Bainbridge, which had come to try to negotiate the captain's release, could see the three remaining pirates "were very, very intense. One of them held his AK-47 in the back of the captain. We were always concerned about the imminent danger to the captain."
The pirates had repeatedly threatened to kill Phillips, Gortney said.

A Navy SEAL team had parachuted in and taken up positions on the Bainbridge's back deck.

The military had orders from President Obama authorizing lethal force if there was imminent danger. Watch how rescue played out hour by hour ?
"At one point, as uncomfortable as the pirates were, they exposed themselves where there was an opportunity," Gortney said.
He gave details of that "exposure" at a news conference Sunday. He said two of the pirates had their heads and shoulders exposed, while the third was visible in the boat's pilot house, through a window.
"The on-scene commander saw that one of the pirates still held that AK-47, was very, very concerned for the captain's life -- and he ordered the shots to be taken," Gortney told CNN on Monday.
Even with the small boat "moving up and down a couple of feet," the SEALs hit their targets. "Remarkable marksmanship," Gortney said.
The moment came at 7:19 p.m. (12:19 p.m. ET) Sunday -- after sundown, military officials say.
In the minutes after, a special operations team shimmied along the tow rope to the lifeboat, confirmed that three pirates had been killed, and took Phillips back to the Navy ships that had gathered nearby.
The fourth pirate was taken into custody.

These guys [the SEALs] are very well trained, they have a lot of experience and there has to be a lot of communication between the shooters and the people making the decision that they all three had shots, that they could make their shots successfully," retired U.S. Navy SEAL Dick Couch said on "American Morning."
He added, "Credit that on-scene commander with making a timely decision."

Just a little bit more than being a fast swimmer.
