Pathfinders selection.

Post by MajorRageUK »

Hey guys,

This is just a quick question about the Pathfinders, hopefully one day if I make it in the Paras, I aspire to eventually go for Pathfinder selection. How long do you have to be in the forces for before you can opt to go for selection? Thanks guys,

Ben.

Don't quote me on it but I do believe it's 3 years within any unit, not necessarily an Airbourne unit. Although it is desirable that candidates have completed P company.

As for selection it was described to me by a fromer Pathfinder as " P Coy on speed with a very sadistic twist"

Make of that what you will but I think it is very close to SAS selection.

Have a look over on the sister site: http://www.militaryforums.co.uk/forums/


There's a few threads on the Pathfinders in the Paras section, plus there are a couple of posters over there who are/were Pathfinders.
