Navy SEAL PST (Physical Screening Test)

Current as of 6/17/15

You’d be correct to assume that US Navy SEALs perform at an elite level of physical fitness. This Navy PST is the requirements to even be considered for a position in the US Navy SEALs. Even if you’re not trying to become a Navy SEAL, it’s fun to see how you compare (fun may not be your word of choice).

NOTE: IF YOU’RE PURSUING A POSITION AS A SEAL, MUCH BETTER PST SCORING IS EXPECTED.
