Michael’s Answer

Here are the basic physical requirements, plus a link to the complete requirements page. Being young, you will probably have no problems with the physical parts. As a woman, just be careful when you sign in, since many women retain water during parts of the month and that can make you heavier than you normally are. Only a worry if you are close to the weight limit.

As a branch of the American military tasked to defend our nation’s freedom, Sailors must be able to pull their own weight. The Navy’s physical requirements are measured through the Navy Physical Readiness Test (PRT), which consists of pushups, situps and running. Your overall score must amount to 60 points. Learn more about how PRTs are scored.

Requirements are adjusted based on age and gender. For example, as a minimum requirement to pass the PRT at boot camp, you must complete:

MEN 17-19
50 situps in 2 minutes
42 pushups in 2 minutes
1.5 mile run in 12:30

WOMEN 17-19
50 situps in 2 minutes
19 pushups in 2 minutes
1.5 mile run in 15:30

Contacting a Recruiter is the first step to getting started so you can discuss the opportunities in the Navy and to take your ASVAB. I have included a Navy link that gives additional information. https://www.navy.com/joining/ways-to-join/never-served.html#ft-qualifications-&-commitment. Please do not hesitate with asking me questions because the Recruiter will give you a rate/job you may not want to meet their quotas.
