SEAL / SWCC DRAFT ... LOW SCORES WIN .. TRAIN THE FULL FORCE WAY What is happening now in the SEAL recruiting world is that the huge list of candidates take the screening test. They are graded by adding the times of their 1.5 mile timed run and 500yd swim. Then they subtract the number of pushups and situps and pullups (x6) from that number. The lowest score wins and the candidate is at the TOP of the draft list. This just means the number 1 candidate ranked will go to BUD/S first. For example: 1. If you get a 8:20 swim that equals 500 seconds. 2. A 9:00 run equals 540 seconds. Add those together for a base score of 1040. Ex: 500 + 540 = 1040 Now let’s say you get 100 pushups and 100 sit-ups in 2 minutes each, you would subtract 200 points from the 1040 to get 840. Now since pullups are harder they are weighted more and you get 6 points per pullup. 20 pullups gives you 120 points. Now subtract 120 from 840 to get 720. This (720) is considered an above average score on the draft. THE LOWER YOUR SCORE THE HIGHER RANKING AMOUNG THE CANDIDATES NATIONWIDE ON THE DRAFT YOU BECOME. You have to strive to get WAY above the minimum standards to get to attend BUD/S and SWCC training now. You are competing with every kid in the nation who wants to be a SEAL / SWCC. You have to be in the delayed entry program to take the test with your SEAL / SWCC / Diver / EOD / SAR swimmer mentor. The mentors job is to screen out those who are not making the grade. FULL FORCE CADETS consistently out perform the average score more than 100 points, averaging a score of 620.... Remember, the Candidates with the lowest scores get drafted first!
