Correction: The army fitness test information is outdated, they actually perform: t-pushups or hand release pushups, standing power throw, spring drag carry, 3 rep max deadlift, plank, and a 2 mile run. These actually MAY require practice in a gym.
I will say if you are out of shape like I was it’s not the end of the world. If your body fat is over the standard you’ll be in the Future Sailor Prep program at bootcamp. All you do is eat your meals and exercise. The good news is you’ll get in shape much faster the bad news is it adds on another 3 weeks to bootcamp but at least you’ll be more prepared for the PRT. I enlisted to help get discipline with myself and I got it for sure. Of course prepare for bootcamp but in my case I was only in DEP for 3 weeks and even with daily runs, pushups and plank practice I still needed more work
All branches pay the same base rate by dod paygrade, which can be googled. However there's also extra pay on top. There's a whole video about this and this answer is really not a great example to use but as an E4 in Bahrain my paycheck is around $1,500 twice a month. So $3,000.
For the actual PRT yeah, or the treadmill, but in boot camp if you couldn't pass the run you were retested, and if you failed that you were sent back in training.
@@HaedenBecknot true any more. They will put people on the bike who fail the run, and will ASMO the failures into a holding unit until they pass. In my division and bro div, the vast majority passed the first time on the bike and the rest passed within two weeks. Thanks to the recruiting crisis it’s very difficult for even obese people to fail RTC
@@moniquemckie4383 If you're unable to do the run you can do the bike, same as the real PRT. I did the treadmill my past PRT. Most people in boot camp will pass the run by actually running and I only met one person so far who got the alternatives during boot.
@@HaedenBeck I’m so happy I’ve finally met Navy waist and weight requirement for my age and height, but I will continue losing more weight and practicing my run 🏃🏾♀️ pushups and planks. I’m moving faster with pushups. It’s still a struggle because my lower body still so heavy but I’m almost there 😅 strong. 💪🏾 Thank you for videos.
That's not my area, but generally speaking you need very high fitness standards. Just tell MEPS you want to go to such and such a program and if you qualify with your fitness standards and ASVAB you'll get signed up for it. Just be advised that 70-85% of people fail BUD/S, often times because of injuries.
Appreciate it man I meet a recruiter Monday I always wanted be a navy seal soo I'm just going go for it man I'm in shape now I run and work out just kinda anxious I'm 25 drop out of high school when I was 17 but I got my diploma now and I want to be seal since I was kid just want to know what it take and how it goes I watch all the buds and hell week I'm pretty sure i can do it I mean I know I can I will.
@@Jojo-z9x7q Well I wish you the best of luck, you're getting pretty close to the max age for SEAL without waivers. Just know that if you don't pass the training they'll make you do something else and you'll still be in for 4+ years. I hope you pass BUD/S!
@@Jojo-z9x7q I met a few people who failed BUD/S training, all of them failed the first week of it. It's THAT hard. And these are rock solid men. 2 of them quit because they were injured and didn't want to slow their team down just for their own ego, they let go. A lot of "BUDS DUDS" become MAs. I believe it's after 2 years, you can go back and try again.
Thank you brother 🙏great advice I am 33 working on my running and push up getting better every day How ever still confused with the swimming part I am a okey swimmer still working on it Thanks again for the great content!!!!!
If you can swim the length of an Olympic sized swimming pool, without flailing around, you will have no problem passing the swim your first time around.
This seems like great advice, especially since I’m in a similar situation. I’m pretty lean and have low body strength, but I plan to utilize my university’s free gym for students. I’m a college student thinking of doing Officer Training School at the Air Force after I graduate.
Great video. Straight to the point and presented/edited well. I appreciate how you emphasize doing what you can when you can. The Navy ended up giving me the run-around but the Army is going to bat for me. I go to MEPS next week for them as a 13B. I’m a scrawny 26 year-old 5’11/145lbs kickboxer so I gotta get my pushups and deadlifts in , haha. I’m giving myself at least two months from signing before I go to BCT.
Thanks. You can try a different recruiting office or recruiter before giving up on the Navy, but if you think the army is a better fit then hey here's to you.
@@HaedenBeck It ended up being the best bet to go with the Army after looking at my 5 year plan with the Mrs’s. Plus they had the specific combat arms MOS open here that I wanted and I scored well high enough for it. No shade to the Navy! I’ve been told the same about it being different for every individual recruiter. By the way, as a history major, it would be cool if you did some videos on various US Navy sailors, officers, and events one day. Idk if that’s your style. That raid that Admiral John Jones did on the *actual British mainland* during the American War of Independence was crazy to learn about.
@@hornetnezt Even I got basically ghosted by a recruiter and met up with a different one, but both were in the same office. They got a lot of names flying around and they probably can't tell who's really serious and who is just dipping toes. I thought of the same, but there's a lot more to cover about the Navy before covering naval history. Other channels already covered it with graphics and stuff that I don't have anyways hehe. I hope your career goes well!
Hey Haeden I ship out for boot camp (June 4th) I wanted to ask about sports in the navy, especially while being a Master At Arms would I be able to pursue Boxing, or is their just not enough time for it?
Sure, there's very long work days but on off days you have a lot of time. People usually fill the time with gaming and the gym. Boxing is a great choice.
Yeah I’m 18, 6’2 140 lbs so I’m pretty skinny and I can barely do 10 pushups I leave in September so I definitely have time. Any tips on what I should eat to gain a little weight
Meat and potatoes, mass gainer perhaps. You should talk to a doctor or dietician before making major changes. What I did to go from 120 pounds to 150 was just eat a bunch of mcdonalds every lunch, I don't recommend that.
I'm grateful to have enlisted a few days ago. I am grateful to have the opportunity to better myself, my family, my friends, and risk my own life to serve the country that had given me so many great things and experiences with amazing people
