I don’t know your situation, but I do know that God has a better way. Do you know Jesus today? Will you let Jesus change your life? He changed mine. I know Jesus can change yours, too. Please come home to Jesus. It’s not too late. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 KJV John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Do you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior today?

Impressive. Personally I’m trying to perform this test myself. (Struggling with swimming & pull ups). But wouldn’t it have been easier to record this at a college campus with a pool and a track field? (Cal Lutheran University maybe)

someone needs to teach Nick how to "Max" situps... if you know you know
The more interesting thing would be not to tell him what the minimum score is so that’s keeps them pushing and not quitting after they hit the mark
You should do a video of how to train for these PST's
would like to see Nick do a triathlon
Congratulations 🎉 to you
8:36 Austen, I don't know about others but I'm from India and I want to join the SWAT equivalent of our country. You've inspired me and it's nice to see an Olympic runner doing less push-ups than me. Thank you Austen and I definitely look forward to join the armed police. Also, since for a couple of jobs there's no physical fitness test (just the medical fitness test), I was doing the Navy SEALS PST. Now that I've applied for a job that has its own PFT, I can focus on that PFT. Thanks once again.

The exercises remind me of Basic Combat Training at Fort Dix, 10-14-68/10-14-70. I was a red cross water safety instructor before enlisting so the swim would have been easy.The run looked fun but we had to run in full field gear and combat boots ,Combat Engineer Demolition Spec 5.
Awesome.

He crushed it
These standards are food as a minimum in my opinion. I believe i could pass but its still a good all around. Well done!
Very interesting
Hi Austen! I'm keen to know what was the oldest person you've done this test with? Or will you see what's the oldest person you can persuade to do this test and did they pass it? 😊👍👍
hey can you try the arctic elite military force they say only 1% there is for passing the training and i wanna see if your strong to beat that one.

Dear Nick Symmonds, We have now required you to join the navy, so see ya in a week. The navy seals.
Hm I could probably only do the swim because I am a swimmer, the run I might be able to do if I have enough stamina.
What sunglasses are you both wearing?
Did you rent out Oaks Christian high school???
How do I try this test I'm from the uk
I'm confused. When the olympic swimmer did the test it was 500 yards of swimming in 12.30min. This time it was 500 METERS of swimming in 12.30. But 500 yards = 457.2 meters. So was there some mistake, did they performe different swims or have I missed something?

3:58 oops, your navy side is showing.
The hardest part of this is the run by far... I would have to train for that. The rest I could do in my sleep. The pull-ups would be a little bit of a grinder though after those push-ups.
So do you have to have competetive scores to be considered for navy seals or do the base scores count aswell? Also what are the competitive scores I'd like to try this out at some point.

It depends on your region and where you test out your PST from. Different regions in the US are more competitive. To make it out of BUDs prep after boot camp you have to do 1000m swim with fins (forget the time) 70 push ups and 60 sit ups(I think), 10 pull ups, can't remember it's been so long. You also have to do a 4 mile run in 31 minutes. It's like a PST on steroids. Not sure if they still do this though, this was in 2013.

As for pool there's a city pool here that I could use or the lake I need to find a job but every place where I live either gives very few work hours or is just terrible to work at. I'll find a place though I might apply to one store tomorrow and see what happens

@@amazingjoe3635 All you need for a sandbag is a trashbag, ducktape and sand. If you can find free sand/dirt somewhere just fill the bag up till it's at the weight you want and wrap the whole thing in ducktape(Shape is like a rectangle). That's how they're made in the military anyways, though in buds you won't be using sandbags, you'll be using a log.

Decent swim, the combat stroke would probably give him better results on the push-ups Surprised me on the pull-ups. Thought he’d bust out an 8 min run but I guess he had the “F” it moment while running :). He’s enjoying retirement. He broke 4 minutes in the Mile, that’s crazy. Kudos man on that achievement.
I’m a swimmer so all these would be pretty easy I can do pull ups and push ups and everything else the running would be the hardest but I got 7:58 for my mile so I think I would probably be fine
