As some of you may know, I joined the Navy, and am currently in the DEP program. I got a 97 on my ASVAB, and am getting into the SEAL Challenge program. Today I took my first PST with my SEAL mentor, Jeff Krause RMCS Ret. The minimum requirements for entry into the program are as follows (my scores are in the () ):
500 yd. Swim Breaststroke or Sidestroke in 12:30 (9:22)
42 Pushups in 2 min (66)
60 Sit-ups in 2 min (80)
6 Pull-ups no time limit (17)
1.5 mile run in 11:00 (11:50)

As you can see, I kind of lost it on the run. But luckily, my SEAL Mentor lives real close to me, and will be helping me to improve that score, so I'll be signing a new Navy contract (soon, hopefully) as a SEAL Challenge member

UPDATE 17 Sept 2008:
I PASSED!!!!!!
500 yd. Swim: 8:15
Pushups: 72
Situps: 87
Pullups: 17
1.5 Mi Run: 10:59

I made it guys. By the skin on my jewels, I made that run time. I did better in everything except pullups... I matched my previous count. I'm on clouds nine, ten, and eleven right now.

I always maxed out the rest of my PT test and bombed the run. It takes some work, but you're close enough that it should be no problem.

Of course, getting in isn't the hard part. No for nothing do the SEALs say "The only easy day was yesterday."

back in the days we had to do 9:50 for a 1.5mi/2.4k. to pass

the SEALS are tough but the 11 min mark is very doable. if you're stuck, or want to get to the low 10's or high 9's try doing falkirk 3 times a week, and uphill sprints twice a week - it helps a lot.

gl!

I know I can do it, I just need to rearrange my schedule so I've got more time to run. being a full time student and working and having a girlfriend and a dog eats up a LOT of time. But I'll get there for sure. Everything besides that I breezed by, just gotta get my lungs back. Thanks alot OG.

make sure you learn all the strokes that they do in BUDS and whatnot. Ask specifically about the combat swimmer stroke.

@ Maverick: I kind of know the Combat Side Stroke. I know a regular Side Stroke, and from what Jeff told me, it's just about the same thing. When I see him this Weds I'm gonna ask him what's different between the two, and start to work on the actual CSS.
@ Ghost: I'm from Northville, about 30 minutes west of Detroit. Jeff's a hell of a guy, isn't he? When did you work with him, and did you make it all the way through BUD/S?

You can also hit youtube. They have some awesome instructional vids on the CSS there. Taught by a former Seal......i've watched them and they seem pretty good.
