How to Get into the Navy SEALs

The Navy SEALs have an 85% drop out rate. Be fully ready for BUD/S...

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

1. Run 1.5 miles in around 9 minutes.
   
   You don't need to be able to do this much faster, but you should also be able to do 4 miles in about 28 minutes and run at least 9 miles without passing out.
2. Do 100+ pushups in 2 minutes.
   
   Again, it's not so important that you shatter this (though that's great) but that you are able to take a rest and repeat it 3 or 4 times.
3. Do 100+ situps in 2 mintues.
   
   Same as pushups.
4. Do at least 15 pullups
   
   But 20 is better and 25 is better than 20. There is no upper limit on pullups, so get good at them.
5. Swim 500 yards in around 9 minutes.
   
   Remember that you are not a sprinter. As soon as your popping your 500 yard time under 9.5 minutes turn your focus towards your 1 mile and 2 mile times in fins.

Tips & Warnings

• BUD/S is damn hard. When you think you've done enough, do more.
