Gaza/Gazza you know the footballer, just wondering what he has done in israel to upset someone maybe he has been offensive.

[minimac]

Good one mate . Least you had a go though eh.

People say to me 'you're jokes are crap'. But they don't have any themselves.

'You will never make it into the Paras' Least I'm trying you lazy bastard!

All of you, be supportive! Hardly anyone in my squadron is going to the armed forces most are looking for a f@#k off easy life. I was wondering why this shite happens on every forum I visit. Bloody hell, I came here for training advice!

The more they say you wont do it....... I reckon that should just make you even more determined!! Go for it.

Too right. All my life I have had people from school saying I won't make anything but I did. It will make me more determined to prove them wrong just like that lad, not giving up.

OK then I think it's time to explain the animosity.

Now I've not read all your posts so I don't know if you've just said something that only a real nobber would say or not.

Well anyway, look at it from our point of view (especially the old and bold), you've just turned up on this site and announced that you want to join the SAS and you've told us that you would make a great soldier. Despite this you are not and show no asperacion to be, in a regular army regiment, if/when you join up for real your mates will not take kindly to you saying that the regiment your in is not good enough for you. Whether that's how you feel or not that is how it will be taken.

Not only this but you are old enough to join the army or the TA, so why don't you? If you've got college then join the TA, you could even join 23 or 21 SAS, then after you've passed selection come back here and you'll be taken a bit more seriously.

If you want to be taken seriously join the regulars or TA or some other service first and show everyone that you are commited to the path.

Is that the advice you wanted?

Well done that man !!!!

It depends on how you ask for that. If you start off by saying your some sort of fitness god and start giving advice nobody asks for, no wonder people start to get pissed off, especially the ones who've been there. Like many said here before me, take it one step at a time, first join the army and than start worrying about developing the skills you need for selection. You're young, you've got plenty of time to train with 90lb bergens and stuff later!

Thanks a lot guys. Will do! I was hoping to join RAF regiment and then after a few years go for selection.
