Why You Won't Survive British Special Forces Training

Today we're going to put you into boot camp for the British Special Air Service or SAS, to see if you have what it takes to survive this brutal military training. This intensive program pushes candidates to their extreme limit in order to see if they have what it takes to become an elite defender of the England. In today's video we're going to give you a first hand look at how crazy the training is to become part of the Special Air Service!

ItsOnlyMat yes SBS was found first, but SAS fought crucial parts of WW2 as did the SBS, however SBS are more about marine operations hence the name Special Boat Service. The SAS were the more land based special forces and to this day are suited for a wider variety of tasks making them an all around superb special forces unit. This is why I think The SAS really started the special forces tradition. SBS are great too, and a couple of years older.

I have a friend who did some training with several special forces groups, he said the main thing he noticed about special forces was that the instructors would give an insane task that would make normal soldiers laugh and say "no way that can be done" and the Special forces folks would not even flinch and just proceed.

Generally speaking troops outside of the teeth arms are not smashing a 1.5 mile run in under 8 and a half minutes. Outside of the teeth arms I imagine you'd have to be a PTI (PT instructor) to be considered. Most infantry would be accepted with very few questions.

You don’t get chosen for selection, you simply apply.

Years ago you had a pre selection phase which was around a week long which basically tested the recruits and made sure they’re fit enough to do selection but I think they’ve scrapped that now.

[@76Gazz]

The "Hills" he refers to are the Brecon Beacons and Elan Valley in south Wales. Aptitude Phase (hill phase) is 4 weeks long. Anyone who's walked the four peaks of the Horseshoe trial of the Brecon Beacons for fun on a Sunday afternoon will no how hard it is. The steep inclines. The insane burning in the legs and lungs that just goes on for hours. Image running over the entire range end to end and back again against the clock in full gear, carrying a 40Ib Bergen and a rifle. Going further and carrying a bit more weigh in the backpack each day, all week, every week until the Long Drag. A final endurance march of 64 km which must be completed within 20 hours. There's not many left after that. Then you've got to do it all again in the jungle of Belize! For 9 weeks!! That's not even half way. Employment training (14 weeks) then Survive, Evade, Resist, Extract (4 weeks). This is why there are only 60 operatives in a Sabre Squadron. They don't make men like this in numbers of 2000!

[@liamearl6386]

Archerdon88 the SAS do use the M4 though

[@cade3699]

The reason America is mentioned so much is because #1: nato allies constantly use each other’s equipment, and as the seals have amphibious assault vehicles, the sas uses them because why not, they are allies. #2: task force 88 consisted of international sf units and he went in depth describing the more prolific players that have worked alongside the task force. #3: the last unit that is secret is one of the main ways SAS command gets their intelligence which they need to operate, so it makes sense to include it, regardless if it’s an American asset

SAS and navy SEALs: *form task force 88* I have 87 questions to ask.

[@adamkey1934]

I'm in the British Army (not SAS or any special forces and I wouldn't pretend to be). Another thing that sets the SAS and all British SF apart is that you cannot join as a civilian recruit. You must already be a serving member of the armed forces and be recommended. They also don't have to fail many recruits, it just isn't necessary. Most who aren't right for it and fail will buckle and take themselves off long before it gets to a stage where an instructor has to kick them out.

One of my close friends dad was a seal and worked with the sas for some time and he said they were one of the hardest working men he had ever seen but he said you will always support your country so he said an American might say seals are better but someone in Britain might say sas but he said this if we just keep comparing and comparing each other will get nothing done just appreciate what they do and how they do it everyone has something better than something else like he said I saw seals shoot better or sas be smarter but he said we are all just doing our jobs and that brought me to the conclusion that the US CoAsT GuaRd is ThE BeST

Paras are slightly more likely to get in, because their training is more intense than infantry. The problem is paras are taught to quickly follow orders E.G. Jump, SAS don’t like people who blindly follow rules. It’s why a lot of them have some sort of run in with the law. Former SAS instructors have said, “we don’t want soldiers, we want warriors”

You can't even apply unless you're already serving in the British army with several years experience.
