Got the book the other day, written by Barry Davies. He writes a chapter or so about the actual TV show, and mentions that he doesn't feel any of them could have met the challenge of the SAS selection. Kind of puts it into perspective doesn't it. otherwise, it is a good book, gives a good account of ...

Will let you know, have the Selection on 6 March. Worried, but looking forward to it. Will let you know how it goes though when I get back.

Thanks for the information, pretty valuable. Sounds quite straight forward though, shouldn't be too many problems. With regards to Para's. If you do not make the 9minute 30seconds requirement, will they still let you in if you excel in the rest of the areas. Trouble is I suffered from shin splints a ...

Would you mind? I have my RSC in 2 weeks, still training bloody hard, just adapting to the weather! Bloody cold here! And I suppose this isn't even as cold as it normally gets. Did you make the Paras, or were you applying for a different Reg.? When do you attend ATR?

Well...I arrive in London on Monday, with 500 pounds in my pocket, and my forms for the Paras. Good luck on whatever regiment you apply for, but give it good thought before you make a final decision. cheers mate and good luck.

I recon I must look like a right old git, seen as I will hopefully be joining them, and I don't know about the badge :smile: Well...hopefully given a lot of hard work, sweat and probably a bit of luck here and there i can get my own badge. Don't really have a choice, I either ...

Will be arriving in London on 4 February, so as soon as I can get my interview going and the tests and the rest. Not sure how long this will all take, but the faster the better. I hope P Coy is a bitch, that way it is worth passing, otherwise there wouldn't be a point, then all I got to do is pass ...

well, i don't seem to be winnning this one, so will stop digging myself a deeper hole. But you better hope the paras don't pull off some real hero shit, otherwise I'm going to be sending you some BIG smily faces

Well...I recon i'll give you this one. But then again, they obviously required some really top notch troops to take control, the Royals must have been stuffing everything up there, and then they decided to send in some proper troops

Nah, you win this win, but I'll get you next time
