SRR Fitness

Post by alfred_the_great »

Any ideas on the type of fitness required for these lads; lots of bergan work (a la SAS/SB) or more an assualt course/long hard beasting type (a la "The Operators")? I've been trying to get hold of them via the number listed in the DIN, but no joy.

Cheers,

Al

Had a guy in my platoon who went on that selection course. Alot of the testing is mental, and some of the phys sessions will go on for hours and hours beasting you into the ground.

You need to be very switched on and intelligent aswell. A test on this guys selection was to identify the dress of a man who walked into a lecture hall while they were having a lesson. The test at the end of the lecture was nothing to do with what was being taught but simply, "write down what the man who put the sandwiches at the back of the hall was wearing."

All,

just had an informative chat with the WO2 who runs the entire recruit thing for them. Phys is based around yomping, with all SF candidates now undertaking the same 2 week indoctrination; basically the first 2 weeks of hills.

If anybody wants some more info, PM me, or ring the number of DIN 02-158....
