Recruitment, selection and training[edit]

All members of Her Majesty’s Armed Forces can be considered for special forces selection,[nb 3] but historically the majority of candidates have an airborne forces background.[91] Selections are held twice yearly, in summer and winter,[90] in Sennybridge in the Brecon Beacons. Selection lasts for five weeks and normally starts with about 200 potential candidates.[90] On arrival candidates first complete a Personal Fitness Test (PFT) and an Annual Fitness Test (AFT).[nb 4] They then march cross country against the clock, increasing the distances covered each day, culminating in what is known as Endurance: a 40 miles (64 km) march with full equipment scaling and descending Pen y Fan in 20 hours.[90] By the end of the hill phase candidates must be able to run 4 miles (6.4 km) in 30 minutes and swim two miles (3.2 km) in 90 minutes.[90]
Following the hill phase is the jungle phase, taking place in Belize, Brunei, or Malaysia.[93] Candidates are taught navigation, patrol formation and movement, and jungle survival skills.[94] Candidates returning to Hereford finish training in battle plans and foreign weapons and take part in combat survival exercises,[95] the final one being the week-long escape and evasion. Candidates are formed into patrols and, carrying nothing more than a tin can filled with survival equipment, are dressed in old Second World War uniforms and told to head for a point by first light. The final selection test is arguably the most gruelling: resistance to interrogation (RTI), lasting for 36 hours.[96]
Typically, 15–20% of candidates make it through the hill phase selection process. From the approximately 200 candidates, most will drop out within the first few days, and by the end about 30 will remain. Those who complete all phases of selection are rewarded with a transfer to an operational squadron.[97]
really your going to make me go to the effort to prove such a stupid comment wrong
Talk is cheap i want a source. Again its not my words its wiki pedias
thats phase one you have given me the biggest face palm ive ever had .
The page dosn’t mention any other “phases” so…
lasts 5 months for just the selection then training is classified but i know it over a year long because i intend on going for it next year maybe year after
the page you quoted was talking about the first phase which is fintess which lasts 5 weeks of constant route marching , running and all that fun stuff then there is another 4 phases
i seriously hope you was trolling with that 5 weeks
or another source .
5 fucking weeks i have never face palmed so much in all my life
32 weeks if you add up all the different phases. So according to the “Delta force” force page thats around the same number of weeks training.
yes thats just selection . not training . once you pass that you then have to complete training which is classified but its over a year long . but in fairness it never ends as when your not deployed you train for deployment and they also have to re-pass selection every few years .
that i know from inside the miltary as i have every intention of going for selection in the coming years
thats training though . royal marines here have 32 weeks training
Lol according to your own wiki source that IS their training. Your news article didn’t say anything about the length of their training just the difficulty of it.
Then your own source is not trust worthy im afriad. Because it says training.
no its not . selection is selection not training . you pass selection to be selected to train thats it
from my source
SAS Troopers whereupon SBS candidates undergo further selection to qualify as Swimmer Canoeists and SAS personnel undergo further specialist training.
because the length of SAS training is classified
Proof? Again your source says thats their training and if they complete the “employment” part of the training they are badged as SAS or SBS.
“Only on successful completion of Employment Training will volunteers be “badged” and posted to an operational Sabre Squadron within 22 SAS”.
Either stop contradicting your own source or find another.
