| The Physical Screen Test is given to ensure that
all applicants for Naval Special Warfare programs display a standard
level of athletic proficiency before they arrive at BUD/S
training and is the minimum standard.
Your eyesight may be no worse than 20/40 in one eye and 20/70 in
the other, and it must be correctable to 20/20 with no color blindness.
Applications are accepted from men who are 28 years old or less.
The program is only open to men, and you must be a U.S. citizen
for security-clearance requirements.
You will need to pass a diving physical exam completed per Chapter
15, Section IV, Article 15-66 of the Manual of the Medical Department
and signed by a Diving Medical Officer (DMO) within one year. Your
medical record should reflect that your immunizations and HIV tests
are current.
When you arrive at BUD/S, ensure you have
your medical and dental records with an original or copy of the
diving physical with you. The more squared-away your medical record
is, the quicker you'll be able to begin training to become a Navy
SEAL
The Physical Screening Test consists of the following:
- 500 yard swim using breast and/or sidestroke in 12.5 minutes
10 minute rest
- Perform a minimum of 42 push-ups in 2 minutes
2 minute rest
- Perform a minimum of 50 sit-ups in 2 minutes
2 minute rest
- Perform a minimum of 6 pull-ups (there is no time limit)
10 minute rest
- Run 1.5 miles wearing boots and long pants in 11.5 minutes
Once you have successfully completed the Physical screening test,
will you only move to the next phase of Navy SEAL training, BUD/S.
The above is only the minimum requirements to allow you to gain
entrance into the BUD/S program, and your fitness
levels will need to be higher in order to complete your training.
