When you apply through the SEAL Challenge, you commit yourself to a certain length of service. If you quit, you go out to the fleet… probably as a non-designated striker (an enlisted guy without any particular rating — Navy specialty — in mind for the duration of your commitment. It’s kind of the same for officers… they go out as 1000s or 1100s.If you’re serious… if you’ve been thinking about “joining” the SEALs… if all you’ve done is watch videos… I have to tell you bluntly that your chances are slim to none.If “soon” is less than two or three years away, and if you’re not in shape for it, it’s already too late. You’re certainly not going to be prepared from watching videos, or by reading books, or by playing video games.I seem to recall a young man swimming around in the Pacific Ocean off the San Diego coast. He’d been at it for a while. He was tired… he probably hadn’t slept in a couple of days and hadn’t had a good meal in that time… so he was hungry too. He was sore in places he probably previously didn’t even know he had places. And he was cold too… you can go into hypothermia in 80-degree water, and the water temperature was about 60 degrees. This other guy glides up along side him in a Zodiac and asks him why he doesn’t stop torturing himself… why he doesn’t just go up on the beach and ring the bell… then he can get a hot shower, a good meal, and a good night’s sleep… and maybe some medical attention. All while the guy in the boat’s talking, the guy in the water is swimming side stoke. When the guy in the boat’s finished, the guy in the water said something like, “Sir, for me there is no bell,” and then he swam off. If you think you might quit, you probably will. If you have any tendency to quit, you will. That why the attrition rate is so high. Picture yourself standing in formation. Look a the guy in front of you, the guy behind you, the guy to your right, and the one to your left. The odds are that at least four of you won’t be standing there at the end.Somebody suggested that it’s not a good thing to quit on a mission. Believe me, if you’re inclined to quit, you’re never going to get that far.And you don’t “join” the SEALs. You can apply to be considered. After that, it’s up to you. SEALs show up at Coronado… along with a bunch of guys who are absolutely convinced they have what it takes. The Navy first demonstrates to the guys in the second group that they’re sorely mistaken. Then, after they’re all gone, the Navy trains the SEALs. I’m sorry, but you don’t even seem convinced you have what it takes.

You have to prove yourself before someone would even recommend you for BUD/S. Better start working out. And remember, it ain’t about being excited. It is about wanting it so bad, you will endure things you never realized you could and went beyond exhaustion whereupon you somehow found the inner strength to keep going no matter what. How well do you swim? Can you spend day after day being wet and cold and sand in your shorts and your teeth chattered?

what you could know to prepare is this:1) become very physically active.Go running a lot. go swimming a low.lift weights, work on push ups, sit ups, and flutter kicks.i mean really work on them.you should be able to 2 times more what the minimum requirements ask for at buds.but run a low, swim a lot, and basically just work out a lot.Seals are very active people.this might help :http://www.military.com/military-fitness/navy-special-operations/navy-seal-fitness-test2) stay smart.your only 13, but be smart. do well in school. prove your self.Seals are smart people. they know how to think fast, and smart.get good grades. 3) never give up. just when you think your out of power to keep working out, try again till you puke. BUDS will be 10 times harsher than that.i also suggest you talk to your cousin, and ask him for some tips.join some sports, stay active. never back down from a physical fitness challenge.you have about 5 years, but keep those 5 years active.when you think you have a good physical fitness score, try to make it a GREAT physical fitness score.you could never quit improving.

I’d pay 50 bucks on pay per view to see the navy seal break his neck inside a minute easily .

Awesome XD I love the yellow face, it attracts my attention

Start participating in sports programs at your school. The best thing you can do to perpare yourself for that sort of training is to strengthen your body, increase your situational awareness and build your tolerance for pain. A good coach should help you do all those things. Go out for the swim team.

I was not a SEAL and I never tried to be one. I was assigned to Commander Naval Surface Forces Pacific’s Headquarters which is/was at the Amphibious Base in Coronado. This was back in 1982. I’d guess that average age was about 20-24. Back then they did not take guys off the street and put them in the training pipeline like they do today. Back then they took established sailors from the fleet who were serving in certain eligible rates (jobs). I believe they had to be an E-4 to be considered.My guess is that the average age is younger today but the washout rate is probably still enormous. I used to see the new classes running like dogs with their boats and paddles over their heads on the way to chow. There would be about 8 or 10 boat crews. Then I’d see a class that had been training 3 or 4 months and they’d have 2 or 3 boat crews.I’d highly recommend anyone going into this program to have a backup plan in case things don’t work out.

I think you are talking about a dragger re breather, re breathers preceded open circuit scuba by several years and I believe were used in the second world war, these were oxygen based re breathers and are actually extremely dangerous to use below a depth of about 30ft or six meters oxygen becomes toxic at highish partial pressures 0.6 bar PP is generally the limit set for the use of oxygen as a decompression gas by military and technical divers. modern re breathers are very safe to use with the proper training and experience all diving Equipment is. It is designed for “down stream fail safe” which means if it fails it will fail delivering the breathing gas and “free flowing” all divers are trained to breath from a free flowing gas source. A water leak into a regulator generally is not a serious problem again all divers are trained to “breath past” a small amount of water in the regulator or mouth. should you have a major water leak into a regulator you would simply change to your alternate air source or “octopus rig” or that of one of your dive buddies. with a lot of these “shows” about diving it is quite often said that the breathing gas is oxygen. Oxygen is never used as a breathing gas by divers except in special and exceptional circumstances where it is used as a decompression gas after a very deep dive by military or technical divers. Pure oxygen is never breathed below six meters, a deep dive would be any dive of over 40 meters or about 120ft. an example would be the Lusitania of County Cork in Ireland the wreck lies at a depth of 90msw using special decompression schedules the ascent from this wreck takes about six hours! using open circuit scuba and a last deco stop of two hours at a depth of six meters breathing pure oxygen after a 20 min bottom time. The ascent time would be considerably shorter apparently using semi closed circuit re breathers such as the dragger unit. Semi closed and closed circuit rebreathers certainly make deep diving easier but as to which is best I think it comes down to personal preferance, I cant see the point in using a rebreather for a 20 minute dive at a depth of 20 meters or sixty feet open circuit scuba is fine for this using compressed air as a breathing gas or posibly nitrox if you want to increase yor bottom time a little.

They are NOT classified, but they are “sensitive”. it is OPSEC regulations.

Sorry to have to disagree with a BMC, but…You have SEAL Challenge written into your contract. If you get the ASVAB scores and meet the physical and age requirements, you go to Great Lakes (Boot Camp). As BMC suggested, that equates to a little more PT than your shipmates. So far, so good. But, unless something’s changed recently,After Boot Camp, you stay in Great Lakes for another eight weeks of preparation. If you’re still able to walk, and if you’re still interested, THEY you go to Coronado. Once there you undergo another five weeks of “Indoc.” If you’re still able to get to your feet and are still motivated, that’s when BUD/S starts.Also, you don’t wait until after you’ve joined the Navy, at your earliest opportunity contact a SEAL/SWCC “motivator.” Where do you find one? Well, you can go to your recruiter. But some really don’t know much about either SEAL or SWCC, so I’d go to http://www.Navy.mil Up and to the right will be a link “Information Index.” Click on that, then click on the “S” in the alphabetical index. Then scroll down. You’ll run into “SEAL”, or “SEAL/SWCC”, or “Special Operations.” Click on that. In one of the SEAL links I believe there’s a link to locate a nearby “Motivator.”To be honest, I personally really don’t know how they work. If you’re particularly young, not in high school yet, or if you don’t impress them with your drive and determination, and your current state of readiness (physical, emotional, and mental), it’s likely they might consider it a waste of time to work with you. On the other hand, you might find one who would consider it a challenge to take on that kind of potential applicant. Or they may not take you on until you’ve turned 17 and have you’re parents’ permission to join.But, what I’d do is find the nearest, give him a call and tell him about yourself. If he can’t (or won’t) work with you, ask him for advice on how to prepare. He’ll have the latest information.I knew a recruiter who was getting his kid in shape for SEAL. He and I knocked out a 2K in the pool in about half an hour. In that same time, the kid (think he was about 13 at the time) ran 500, swam 500, did 50 push-ups, 50 sit-ups, and 20 pull-ups… and then he did it all again.If you can’t find somebody to work with you, go back to that Navy site. I’m certain there must be a list of requirements for the program. Keep in mind they’re minimum requirements. You’re expected to exceed them… by a lot. I believe you’ll find that when you get to Coronado, “good enough to get by” never is. In the requirements I’ve seen posted, there are embedded “breaks” between the sets. I’d suggest that you work to where you can comfortably exceed the requirements… without the breaks.One poster suggested that you go out to the fleet after Boot Camp, and apply for the program later. That’s how they used to do it. Today they have their own rating (Navy specialty) SO. I don’t know if they look for certain ratings when guys apply from the fleet. That’s something to ask your motivator/recruiter… if you can’t find it on the Navy site.If you drop out or wash out of SEAL training, you go out to the fleet as a non-designated striker. That means you’ll be sent wherever the Navy feels you’ll best serve its needs. You’ll probably be an E-2 or E-3 depending on where in the training you left. If you entered the program from the fleet, you’ll probably go back to the fleet at the rate (pay grade) and rating you were before you tried for SEAL. This is mostly conjecture I retired from the Navy about 25 years ago.Addenda:A good officer doesn’t argue with a Chief.First: I’m not disagreeing with you up to the point a guy graduates from Boot Camp. But you implied that they go right from RTC to BUD/S for training.I was only pointing out to the guy who asked the question that there are thirteen more weeks of preparation, to wit, eight more weeks (after Boot Camp) in Great Lakes, and Indoc (five weeks) in Coronado, before BUD/S begins. It would seem imprudent, even for an officer, in light of, as you indicated, the push to lower the drop-out/ wash-out rate, to abandon that extra preparation. If they have, then I stand corrected, and apologize. However, a call… to a Chief… confirmed that Indoc still exists. I tried to call Great Lakes, but they’re done for the day, so I couldn’t confirm the eight weeks there. I guess I could have confirmed it with the other contact, but by now they’re gone too.Second, I wasn’t arguing syntax either, but, just out of curiosity, I made a phone call and asked a Chief… and was told that they’re called “motivators” (among other things). And, just to be sure, http://www.seal.navy.mil/seal/motivators.aspxSo, I suppose you can call them whatever you want. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t mistaken.My intent isn’t to put you down. I just wanted the guy who asked the question to get the straight skinny. Sometimes I’m wrong… but, as you, I try.

I’m not sure what you are talking about, but you may be referring to a helocast. That involves jumping out of a moving helicopter into the water. The formula is 10 x 10: 10 miles an hour at 10 feet high. As far as jumping from heights or diving, SEALS jump from any height using a variety of gear. there is no limit to what SEALs will do. They also dive, but they typically stay at shallower depths because combat diving doesn’t usually require deep diving. By the way, SEAL training does not focus on overcoming fear, because SEALS are fearless.

Chris August 10, 2011 at 6:12 pm

No, that’s ridiculous:1. Track: Sure they’ll be in shape, but why would you watch that when you could watch professional track athletes run faster.2. Martial arts: They have about 2 months of martial arts training and it’s not even good training. Soldiers don’t fight hand to hand. Why would anyone want to watch people fight who don’t know how to fight?3. Gymnastics: What? What makes you think any of them can do gymnastics? They’re not trained for that. Might as well ask them to start dancing; they’d probably do that better.
