Has there ever been a female Navy SEAL?

While the U.S. Navy has yet to have a female join their ranks as a Navy SEAL, they did recently have the first female to ever pass the grueling and demanding U.S. Navy SEAL officer training course. That in and of itself is quite the accomplishment, considering the fact that 75% of those who sign up for the 6-month training program quit before it’s over. Originally, Navy SEALs were just one of two communities that were required by law to not allow women to join. The other is Navy SWCC (Special warfare combatant-craft crewmen). However, that is not the case today.

Are women capable of becoming Navy SEALs?

Yes. Here are some of the qualifications that both men and women must pass in order to begin training. Eyesight requirements: 20/40 best eye; 20/70 worst eye; correctable to 20/25 with no color blindness Meet the minimum Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) score: GS+MC+EI=170 or VE+MK+MC+CS=220 or VE+AR=110 MC=50

Be 28 years of age or younger

Pass a physical examination that’s required for divers

Be a U.S. Citizen and eligible for security clearance.

Physical Requirements

Ages 17-19 20 push-ups (in 2 minutes) 54 curl-ups (in 2 minutes) 1.5 mile run (in 18:37) Ages 20-24 17 push-ups (in 2 minutes) 50 curl-ups (in 2 minutes) 1.5 mile run (in 18:37)

What’s different about female Navy SEAL training?

Nothing. Females and males must go through the same level of training as required by men. Training will prepare both men and women for extreme mental and physical challenges. It requires over 12 months of initial training, followed by 18 months of pre-deployment and specialized training.

This includes:

7 weeks of Diver Preparation Course

15 weeks of Second Class Dive School for training in any of these areas Air and mixed gas diving Underwater cutting and welding Demolition Recompression chamber operations Underwater hydraulic tools Ship maintenance, repair and salvage

Fleet Training

Waterboarding is no longer part of SEAL training. It was originally part of routine training but was eliminated because no one could pass and it brought down team morale.
