How should a woman prepare for Navy SEAL training?

Se.A.L.s. have been spawned from USN divers. I don't find them extraordinary on land. Doesn't one have to swim well, Se.A.L.s? USMC, on special assignment, I had to swim a mile from Onslow Bay in full utilities with one or more of the guys watching over us with M-14 rifle(s), gator-watch. Said swim, much more difficult than 4 mile run. Don't Se.A.L.s have a similar swim requirement?

To graduate SEAL training, you have to run 4 miles in 30 minutes, swim 2 miles in 75 minutes in Scuba fins and complete the obstacle course in 10 minutes every week. These are the minimum standards.

The Naval Special warfare study I posted showed that running 4 miles in 27 minutes is the number one predictor for success in SEAL training, it’s even more important than swimming or weight lifting numbers.

The activity you do most in SEAL training is running - you run at least 40 miles per week on sand and you have to run 200 miles during Hell Week. Running 40+ miles per on sand for six to seven months straight is hard on the body and that’s what most SEAL candidates get injured from.

Train to not cry when you fail. On the other hand, in the current woke environment, it could be easier for certain demographics to be accepted.

You should stay up all night for 4 days in a row, get soaking wet roll in sand and then if you can still run 4 miles in 27 minutes you might have a chance.

The physical exercise is the easiest part of SEAL training.

What do you mean? I don’t want special treatment, I want to be held to the same standard as the men.

Women have the biological advantage in endurance, muscle stamina and enduring the cold. SEAL training is endurance based.

These studies show that women are built for endurance and outperform men in ultramarathons:

Do Sex Differences in Physiology Confer a Female Advantage in Ultra-Endurance Sport? - PubMed

Ultra-endurance has been defined as any exercise bout that exceeds 6 h. A number of exceptional, record-breaking performances by female athletes in ultra-endurance sport have roused speculation that they might be predisposed...

“Women are shown to be less susceptible to fatigue, which means that when they are doing strength exercises, they can go on for longer than men. And the difference isn’t trivial; in research studies, women keep performing, rep after rep, for 60% longer than men doing the same resistance exercise. Better still, in the second half of the menstrual cycle, when progesterone is high, this effect is amplified.”

“Women have more subcutaneous fat than men. This helps keep them warmer and enables them to survive lower temperatures than men during the cold.[36]”

Also, in chapter 5 of the book Up to Speed: The Groundbreaking Science of Women Athletes by Christine Yu cites academic studies of women outperforming men in endurance events such as long distance running and long distance swimming.

As a whole, men are better than women at endurance. Matter of fact, men are better than women at nearly every single physical feat.

Men hold every single distance record from 5k to the week long events.

Do Se.A.L.s, once graduated or UDT/BUD, is it required at sometime or another to climb 30ft. rope with full combat gear? If not, Se.A.L.s as I stated are ordinary on land.

In my opinion, women have the biological advantage in endurance, muscle stamina and enduring the cold while men have the biological advantage in muscular strength, speed and enduring the heat.

Men have stronger bones while women have more resilient tendons due to high estrogen. Women get ACL injuries more often while men get muscle injuries more often than women. The sexes perfectly complement each other.

Yes, lots of climbing involved at times, especially in ship boarding. CQB and hostage rescue are where a SEAL Team shines- on land or water.

Do you feel confident that you could drag or carry a 220# man out of a building? What about taking down and choking out/incapacitating an enemy combatant in close quarters?
I don’t think you understand that Bud/s is nothing more than a selection process by active SEALs to make sure that the person they’re overseeing can protect them/others when called on. It’s not about running 4 miles in 30 minutes each week (that’s not true, btw) or running 200 miles during a particular week (that is true, btw). It’s about proving to yourself and others that you would rather die than quit on yourself or when others are depending on you. Once you’ve finished the 6 months involved in first phase, dive phase and land warfare, then the real test begins. SQT is then 26 weeks after that. Then, you start completely over as a new member of the team you’ve been assigned to.

I'm just here to see if there's any comments about seamen.

You are not smart enough to be a seal.

Focus on military press, they seem to do a LOT of that

The US militia, first responders, emergency service outfits have always tested for individual performances in Swimming, Running, Endurance, Weights, Crossfit, etc.

Women can be better at very extreme endurance activities and at rock climbing. they naturally use legs more than the upper body strength climbing and the added fat may help in very extreme endurance activities

Some women are FBI agents and SWAT team.

LetsRun has a number of mostly old men withering away and hating on women

Goo' old DDR/eastern block method... "grow" testicles.
