I figure this is the best place to ask - I'm 18 and I'll be getting a BUD/S contract soon. I'm 5'10 and 170 lbs and I'm wondering if I should gain or lose weight before I go for the optimal body for BUD/S. What would you reckon is the average?

Listen bucko, if you're going to BUDs the least of your concern is bulking or cutting. Do the Swonec program and focus on basic sailor tasks before you go to boot camp

Lots of kids off the streets washed out at SFAS because they had no prior military experience and focused solely on lifting weights, no other basic soldier tasks.

Also keep in kind if you fail or drop out you will go to needs of the Navy, so you could find yourself being a cook for 6 years

Consider the 18X program in the army so if you dont make it at least you will be assigned to an airborne unit

No.
You have to get contacted by the CIA when youre 10 for child assassin training first.
Trust me, I know.

>I'll be getting a BUDs contract soon
Is that what your recruiter told you?

If you have to ask you are not ready, watch Jeff Nichols on youtube, he makes vids for people like you

FPBP

You should definitely get a degree and go to flight school ASAP. USAF is fucking hard up for pilots right now, especially ACC. This is a once in a decade window 4 u amigo.

Or you could make like 1/3 pay, kill 1/3 the people, and have to actually fucking walk places like some kind of peasant. Ur choice dweeb.

>PS If you're 5 10 and not leaning pilot over SEAL you have a lot to learn about being a manlet my dude.

tfw im 6'4 and they wont let me be a pilot

>I'm 18 and I'll be getting a BUD/S contract soon
Sure you will kid.
> I'm 5'10 and 170 lbs
How much of that is muscle? Nobody cares if you're 5'10" and skinnyfat.
>the optimal body for BUD/S
BUD/S isn't about your body it's about your mind.

Its not the height, it's the femur length. I know and have flown with dudes taller than 6 4. Get measured on that weird NAMI chair before you accept it. They will also measure the width of your finger span and a lot of weird shit.

oh shit im almost done with college, im for sure going to look into this

Thats not really that big though.
Im 5'11 and 195lbs 14%bf.
Used to be 210lbs 8%bf at my prime.
170 is a good wirey build, as long as his cardio is peak tier he should do fine.
But OP if you read this, dont go around shooting your mouth off about going to BUDS until you get your papers.
It makes you sound like an idiot.

OP is going to spend 6 years on a fleet, i can already tell, if you were ready for buds or knew what you were doing you wouldn't be on here asking

>Thats not really that big though.
I'm 5'11" 250 (roughly powerlifter shaped) I never said he was big. He could easily be 5'10 170 and soft as baby shit.

>5' 11"
Lmao your just fat

Power lifter shape. With none of the power lifter ability

If you're 18 that means you're just getting out of high school. What sports did you play and what were your stats? If the answer is JROTC you're fucked.

ABSOLUTELY LISTEN TO ME YOU FUCKING IDIOT

You are getting scammed. The Navy has these contracts knowing that they will cut you as soon as you arrive at BUDS and they will send you to be a painter for ships or a fucking cook. DO NOT DO THIS

That depends, are you a flabby 170 or a hard 170?

you should be focusing on your physical strength and endurance not what the scale says. how much can you ruck, and for how long can you go and at what pace? how fast can you swim?
