About this exam
The Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Physical Screening Test (EOD PST) is a physical fitness assessment for people pursuing the Navy EOD specialty—not a written exam. It helps assess whether candidates meet physical-performance requirements for this demanding operational path. The PST commonly includes a 500-yard swim, push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, and a 1.5-mile run. Event standards and scoring requirements can depend on current Navy guidance and candidate category, so confirm the latest requirements with an authorized Navy recruiter or EOD representative.
Preparing for the Navy EOD PST means building performance across every event while learning the applicable standards, sequence, and timing. Review 500-yard swim pacing, efficient turns and wall push-offs, and the required technique for each exercise; then train the run and calisthenics consistently. Timed practice can show where you lose pace, but avoid treating one strong event as a substitute for a weak one. Meeting a screening threshold does not guarantee selection, and candidates should verify current screening and eligibility procedures through official Navy sources.
How to prepare for the Navy EOD PST
- Review the current Navy EOD PST event standards and scoring rules, including any required form, event order, and time limits. Check official Navy guidance because requirements may change.
- Train the 500-yard swim with controlled pacing and appropriate interval sessions. Practice safe turns, wall push-offs, and lane skills rather than relying only on long continuous swims.
- Track timed swim, calisthenics, and run sessions across the full test sequence. Use results to target weaker events, allow recovery, and avoid last-minute increases in training volume.
