The SEAL Challenge Contract
SEAL Challenge Contract » SEAL Source Rates » Find a Recruiter » Navy Boot Camp » PT Program

The SEAL Challenge Program Option (see below) guarantees the opportunity to enter the Naval Special Warfare/SEAL community for individuals desiring a 4-year USN enlistment (6-year enlistment for Medical Special Operations Technician). This option provides for entry into Class “A” School. Applicants must volunteer for diving duty to become eligible for all training pipelines offered in Special Operations.

For more information on a career in Naval Special Warfare, call
1-888-USN-SEAL or contact your nearest Naval Special Warfare Coordinator/Recruiter.

When contacting a Navy recruiter, ensure you mention that you are interested in the SEAL Challenge (see contract below) program. The recruiter will guide you through the enlistment process, SEAL Challenge program, and facilitate your entrance into the Navy. You can find more information about the journey to BUD/S in Road to the SEAL Teams.

1. If you encounter a problem, need a waiver, or are below the minimums in any category that would eliminate you from getting the SEAL Challenge contract, contact any SEAL recruiter or motivator before signing up under a contract that does not guarantee you a billet at BUD/S.

2. If you do not score high enough on the ASVAB to enlist under the SEAL Challenge contract, you need to contact a SEAL recruiter or motivator first to see if they can get you a waiver. If you are not eligible for a waiver and still want to be a SEAL, then study and retest as advised under the ASVAB section.

3. Pick out three or four SEAL source rates (specific technical job) before walking into your recruiter. This allows you to choose and think about several jobs that you might like to do. If you make it through BUD/S, you will have to study your rate to advance (so pick one that you like). If you are a Corpsman, you will use your job in the SEAL teams. If you do not make it through BUD/S, this is the job you will use in the fleet.

4. Finally, ensure that you are practicing for the PT screen test before you leave for boot camp. Have a friend administer the test exactly as it is spelled out so that you know where you stand. To prepare for BUD/S, check out the PT Program!
