What education is required for navy?

Answer 1

You can be a Navy SEAL member when you meet following requirements: * be a male active-duty member of the U.S. Navy * be 28 * possess uncorrected vision no worse than 20/40 in one eye and 20/70 in the other eye correctable to 20/20 through contacts or glasses (corrective surgery is also possible), there are waivers for colorblindness * be a U.S. citizen * pass the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). Officers have to have completed an Officers' Commissioning program, which in most cases require a bachelor's degree. There are a very few opportunities for those without degrees to obtain a commission of any type.

Answer 2

For Enlisted Personnel, you need a High School Diploma or GED; for Officer Candidates, the prospective member needs a B.A., B.S. or higher degree, but it must be a minimum 4 year baccalaureate degree.

Answer 3

This is the current qualification requirements list Navy Special Warfare Operators (SO's),

as the SEAL's are now officially called. Yes, I think it sucks too.

Though these are the basic requirements, the primary requirement is mental tenacity - the SEAL's want people who will not give up no matter what, and can work well both individually and with a team. The Navy can teach you what you need to know, but not everyone can hang tough mentally and refuse to quit when things are so bad you think you can't go on. You cannot teach that - you either have that quality or you don't.

ASVAB Score Requirement: GS+MC+EI=165 or VE+MK+MC+CS=220

Security Clearance Requirement: You must be able to pass a Background Investigation for a Secret clearance. Other Requirements * Must be U.S. citizen * Under current U.S. Law, only Males are accepted for the Teams. * Vision no worse than 20/40 in one eye and 20/70 in the other eye, correctable to 20/20 * Must have normal color perception. Why? It's hard to set or disarm a bomb if you can't tell what color the wires are. This requirement is also mandatory for any Electronics career field. * Must meet physical requirements per Naval Medical Manual. * No history of drug abuse. * Criminal History (except minor traffic violations) require a waiver. This typically means Misdemeanors and other minor scrapes. If you're a Felon, forget it - you won't pass the BI for a Secret Clearance anyway.

* Must be under age 29. * Must be a Volunteer

Answer 4

There's no specific physical requirements other than that which you need to pass the enlistment or officer entrance qualifications. SEAL's whom I was privileged to serve with at the Pentagon varied in size from pretty small to Olympic decathlon.

You must, however, complete the basic physical fitness requirements, and those aren't as bad as you might think. If you've participated in sports in HS or college, you shouldn't have a problem. In general though, you need to be physically fit, active, and healthy. You don't need to be a competition weightlifter, runner, sports hero, or Olympic contender.

I've added a link to the specifics below for SEAL physical fitness and entrance testing requirements.

The biggest obstacle most recruits face (and the reason there's such a high failure rate) is the mental aspect, which is fully 90% of the difficulty toward graduating BUD/S and moving on to SEAL training. It's just not that easy for most people to be able to push themselves to the limit mentally during the grueling training at BUD/S.

Answer 5

You have to be selected to attend BUDS training. There are no course requirements.

Answer 6

To join the Navy you must have a High-school Diploma or GED, they don't always accept people with a GED though.
