Hello again,
I have a couple questions regarding the Navy Sarc physical requirements. I have done a lot of research online about Navy Sarc physical training and what is required of them, but unfortunately there is not a lot of specific information and my recruiter has zero information on the physical aspect. I am only the 2nd guy in four years to bring it up to my recruiter, so understandably I did not get much information from him. I did read on this forum under the "SARC Pipeline Mentor" post some great information, but not quite what I was looking for. Here are my questions, do Navy Sarc use the same PST guidelines that Navy Seals do. 25 meter underwater swim, 500 meter timed swim, pullups, pushups, curlups and a 1.5 mile run. I ask this because this is one thing I read online, but I have also read that they use the Recon Marine physical standards(being that they work with them in particular) which is it? The Internet can be so misleading. What swimming stroke is allowed in the Sarc swimming qualifications, I have read only breast stroke and Combat Swimmer Stroke, and another site says freestyle is allowed too. I am going to try to become efficient in all of these but it would be great to know which one or two to really focus on. And lastly, do they do curlups or situps or both? This is very difficult to find the answer to, videos show curlups but online says situps(hands behind your head). Sorry this post is so long, but some detailed information would be fantastic. I am still a civilian and have quite awhile before more Corpsman contracts come in, and the extra time will allow me to really focus in on what I need to improve upon. Thank you all for your time and service.
