Paludrine,

I'm guessing that you are Ribakop himself. Even Inspector Clouseau could have spotted that one when he was taking half an eye off the Pink Panther.

Of course, if I am wrong I stand corrected....

Apologies to topper_harley. Since were on the subject of SF I have a question that Ive been thinking of for a while now. If someone was to pass the SBS route and eventually got into a SBS unit could you decide if you'd like C, X, Z, or M squadron you'd like to go to?

And The Same for SAS? With ...

In the RM you will still find yourself operating at heights, abseiling out of helicopters etc as well as the high obstacles and Tarzan course during training.
Well obviously there has to be some sort of training with heights in any part of the army. Not trying to be rude or anything.

And to be ...

Contrary to what most people will tell you, two of my mates got in on thier third attempt at Selection.

You only get two attempts. how did they pass on there THIRD :o
Could you tell us all how they got a third chance as I'm sure others will want to know like I would.
I'm guessing they were ...

I'm planning to make a sort of information page about the SAS for a website I'm going to make about them. I have the design and but I lack a bit of info about the training after selection.

I would like to know what kind of err... subjects they are trained in. I know there's E&E, but is there ...

I don't see why you would need more than 2 attempts to be honest. I'm not saying it's easy or anything, just if you fail the first time, you'll know what standard you would need to be at to pass, so if you failed a second time, it would probably be due to bad preparation which most likely means ...

I was just reading an article about the SAS and learned that whoever tries out for selection is only given two chances to pass.

I was wondering. Should you fail on both those occasions, are you forever barred from trying again? Or can you try out again 1 - 2 years (or more) later?

Well, something ...

Para Reg is part of the infantry. You've been linked the 3 PARA sniper cadre page, which would seem to suggest that yes, there are snipers in Para Reg. You could also read any recent book about Para Reg and multiple news articles which talk to Para Reg snipers. You have been told multiple times ...

Could I have some sort of link or other kind of source please?

There's some pics of snipers from 3 Para on that link. Nothing about the actual sniper cadre though. Just found another link which goes into more detail on the sniper course:

Yes, there is the option to become a sniper in the Paras.
Could I have some sort of link or other kind of source please?

Also if it wouldn't be too much trouble. could you explain how you go about applying for the training? Do you just tell your C.O. or what?

And finally do you have to wait ...

Hi guys! I'm new here and I want to ask something.

Can you undergo specialist training after you pass selection for the Parachute Regiment?

Like how the Royal Marines can undertake specialist sniper training. Can a soldier in the Parachute Regiment also undertake sniper training? Or is it just ...
