In the US Marine corps swimtest do you have to jump off the diving board?

Question

Do officers have to too?

Answer 1

Of course! If you can only pass the bare minimum swim qual (4), then you don't.

But if you're swim qual 4, you have to requal every year. That's how it is now, it's set to change in November to be a completely different system.

But brother, what do you think "MARINE" means? Don't be afraid of the water!!! Plus, boot camp is so crappy that you'll ENJOY jumping off a diving board into the water, even if you hate it :D

Answer 2

Yes! and with sharks and alligators swirling down below! If you make it then you can be  a Marine, too!

HOORAH!
