How to Become a Navy Seal:
As a civilian you can request to join the SEALs prior to enlisting through the SEAL Challenge Contract (Seaman to SEAL program). The SEAL Challenge Contract guarantees you the opportunity to become a SEAL candidate and entitles you to certain bonuses and benefits when you enlist.
If you don't get a SEAL Challenge Contract prior to enlisting, you can still volunteer to take the Physical Screening Test (PST) during the first week boot camp. If you successfully pass the PST a Naval Special Operation Motivator will interview you. The motivator will then submit a request for you to enter the Naval Special Warfare (BUD/S) training pipeline.
TIP: Be sure to tell the Navy recruiter that you want to take the SEAL Challenge before you enlist. SEAL volunteers that don't have the SEAL Challenge Contract prior to joining don't qualify for the same benefits as applicants that have the contract.
NAVY SEALS QUALIFICATIONS
All SEAL candidates are required to meet the following qualification standards and pass the Physical Screening Test (PST):
18-28 years old (17 with parental permission)
A U.S. citizen.
High school graduate (or meet High Performance Predictor Profile (HP3) criteria). Be proficient in reading, speaking, writing, and understanding the English language.
Have clean record - Not be under civil restraint, a substance abuser nor have a pattern of minor convictions or any non-minor, misdemeanor, or felony convictions (waivers are granted depending on number and severity). The Special Assistant for Legal Affairs must not enlist applicants with lawsuits pending against them without prior approval.
ASVAB minimum requirements: SEAL - GS+MC+EI=165 or VE+MK+MC+CS=220 Since you cannot get a waiver on the required ASVAB score it is critical that you score high on the ASVAB. Check out our ASVAB Practice tests to learn how you can Ace the ASVAB.
Eyesight Requirements: Uncorrected vision in the better eye can be no worse than 20/70, the worse eye no more than 20/100. Both eyes must be correctable to 20/20. Color deficiencies require approval.
Once you enlist in the delayed entry program, you will be assigned a SEAL/SWCC mentor who will screen / test and help prepare you for the first level of training Boot Camp and Pre-BUDS. You will be judged initially by your Navy PST scores so prepare for this phase of your journey by practicing the PST several times. Consider the PST your Entrance Exam -- you will be required to take the Navy SEAL PST prior to attending boot camp several times with your SEAL/SWCC mentor.
After Boot Camp, you will attend an advanced workout program at Great Lakes that will prepare you for BUD/S. Taking the Navy SEAL PST is still a requirement and getting into the optimum range is highly recommended. For the latest in academic, physical, psychological, background requirements,
SEAL training is extremely demanding and it is not designed to "get you in shape." You must be in excellent physical condition and pass the PST before you can be considered a SEAL candidate.
PST Test:
Swim 500 yard breast or side stroke > 10 Mins
79 Push Ups in Two Minutes.
79 set ups in Two Minutes.
11 pull ups no time limit
Run 1.5 miles in 10 minutes.
You must obligate to serve 51 months upon completion of training.

I always had a belief that everyone dreamed of being a SEAL or a Fireman. I dreamed of being a Fireman when I was 6. When I was 16, I won several swimming contests at my school. When I was 17, I graduated High School and immediately joined the Navy. I learned quickly that I did not like being on ships at sea all the time. So, I applied for SEAL Training.
1. Prepare for the swim test part of the pre physical exam. You must swim 7 laps on an olympic size pool in 12 minutes or less. 2 Then exit the pool and do 50 push ups and 50 sit ups in 2 minutes for each. Then you get a 5 minute break while you put on your shoes and walk to the track. You have 12 minutes to run 1.5 miles then without a break go to the chin up bar and do 10 chin ups in 1 minute or less. Over hand or under hand. I liked over hand.

You can never be prepared for bud/s. no one ever is no matter how long or hard they have trained. It is a challenge to everyone. This will help though. Be able to swim for hours in ice water. Get used to literally being tortured (you get surf tortured at bud/s). Be able to run some like 50 miles a day every day. Work in four mike timed runs. Be able to do in this order with no break, swim 1500 yards in 10-11 minutes, do 20 pull-ups. Do 100 pushups and sit-ups, and then run 1500 yards in boots and long pants in under 10 minutes. That is a slightly above average score for a SEAL pt.

Be able to swim the 1500 meters. Not fast, but regularly. All the other stuff is secondary. If your not a lifeguard quality swimmer, skip SEAL's.

Run 20 miles everyday, swim 3 everyday, sleep 4 hours a day for 6 months straight, do 200 push ups a day, do 20 pull-ups everyday. Every other day run 5 miles on a beach. That's a good start.
