text: what is the passing score on the asvab to be consider in the navy special forces team?   the asvab is device used by the military to determine where your talents might be best utilized. i personally believe that talent cannot be measured but that's just me. as a former navy type, i can tell you that after boot camp you will probably be offered the opportunity to try to qualify for consideration for buds training. in the early 80's, at nas millington a school, you signed up to attend a tryout for buds, we marched over to the base swimming pool and were promptly half drowned by a group of very zealous seals. this is just a preliminary to see if; 1.       you can swim 2.       if you panic 3.       how much heart you have.  it does not qualify you for anything, other than a second look. buds candidates are a fairly select group of people, gleened from a much larger school of tadpoles, but even they get thinned out significantly. as a group these guys, contrary to movies, already tend to be highly intelligent though (this is not determined by an asvab but by a process) and have an incredible amount of perserverance, guts and determination. the process is designed to weed out those that think like individuals, don't take direction exactly (also what bootcamp does), and can reach into thier gut and find strength when they don't have the steam for more abuse. this is only buds, these folks are not neccesarily seals, from my point of view, these folks are more than remarkable, my hat is off to them.  if this is something your looking at doing, the entire military, and the navy especially (don't let a jarhead, air force puke, grunt, or a beach comber coastie tell you different.), is a good life and offers opportunities you can't get anywhere else on the planet. i wish you success in your endeavor.
