hmmm, i dont know why but I dont seem to think of the TA SAS as anything like the regular SAS.
What exactly do the TA SAS do? are the fitness reqts the same as the regs?

Things i am thinking about are:

Army: Para
RMP
REME

RAF: Air Loadie (going on a visit to Cranwell to look a training)
Regt

If anyone has worked with any of the above please let me know ur opinions

speak to a carears adviser and get them to help you make up your mind, or do the job wizzard on the army carears page that all help you see what jobs are suitable for you.

Not my mates, they laugh at me, although that makes me even more determined. They aint the 'military type' i guess.

Save the ink mate and don't apply, if you can't through the door to check it out then it's a fair bet it's not for you.
