All DEPers who want to be SEALs, please read

Just a heads up -- make sure you contact a SEAL motivator and take a practice SEAL PFT at least once before leaving for RTC. You must be DEPed in and have had a Navy physical to participate in an 'official' practice SEAL PFT. It is not required, but highly recomended to take a practice test. I apologize for putting this in the 'Ask a SEAL' forum, but I noticed there are a lot of DEPers in here.

Well thanks for the advise i know we all can use it, what exactly is the official test, is it the one hour pft with the 500 meter swim and the mile and a half run?

[Bob02270]

it's the same test you have to take at RTC. 500m swim, 10min rest, max pushups in 2min, 2min rest, max situps in 2min, 2min rest, max pullups with no time limit, 10min rest, then 1.5mile run. the swim drains your energy, and the pushups/situps/pullups tighten up your upper body and make it more difficult to breath during the run. make sure to really shake your arms out well after the upper body portion, so that some of that blood flows back to your legs before you start the run. also, make sure to get a good dinner the night before, and an adequate breakfast. sleeping the night before also helps.
