Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most important initial focus for BUD/S selection training?

The most critical initial focus for BUD/S selection is passing the screening tests. This includes excelling in push-ups, pull-ups, running, swimming, and agility drills before concentrating on other aspects of the job.

Should I train for the job or the selection course first?

You must prioritize training for the selection course requirements first. Don't confuse preparation for the entry tests with training for the actual duties of the job; passing selection is the prerequisite.
