I want to get involved but I just realised I'm not sure what on earth the argument IS....original question of "can a RM join the SAS"...answer...yes!
Can we close the book on this thread and start something more interesting like "What mutant features do the men of X-Squadron possess?"
I'm feeling quite like a hippy so i'm going to end this with
"Peace out brothers"

Delete that sharpish. Before you get every squaddie's wife, military band memeber and wannabe-marine posting 5 pages of drivel about how hilarious it would be to have a mutant X-squadron member who could mow the lawn whilst adminstering fellatio and fix the guttering whilst defending the queen against some fanatical muslims...Followed by many, many smilies - they make a post intelligent and funny even if the author isn't don't you know!?"What mutant features do the men of X-Squadron possess?"
Keep things on topic [sic]..My money's on Rover!
With regard to a walt off I have no problem with that.

Spot on..... however the implication is that if you are not good enough for the SBS its ok the SAS will have you anyway this is simply not true.
Rover says Once you have passed selection you are in the SAS
YOU ARE NOT.
Passing UKSF selection simply means you can progress to the next phase of training at that stage you can pick one or the other, having made up your mind you will begin training special to arm, if you fail from then on in you will be RTUd ..
AS for toutching a nerve I have been TQd to many times to be upset by anything a frustrated salior can say..
DSF a Brigadeers job is responsible for UKSF nothing new there it has been done by a Marine Brig and probly will beagain..

Mike_222 - That was almost funny, fee free to join my hippy comune.
Rover - Some of what you posted was infact 'tripe'. Some people like tripe....delicacy in fact.
Neil1955 - Yes you are right but you bit so hard you're going to be pulling Rover's fur out of your mouth for weeks.

Gentlemen,
Mike_222, If you check my post you will find that I make no claims to be
a member, past member or even future member of anything.
Neil, Have met a number of SAS who having finished their basic selection
have been 'badged'!!! That is wearing the winged dagger etc.
King_duck, Seems your the onlyone who saw it.
Emoticons anyone,
I do not doubt peoples integrity until proven otherwise.
As, if you read my post on other threads you will see.

Rover, apologies - you'll note i was not confident in saying so - hence my money was on you. The mere prospect obviously got me over excited and far too eager.
Good point Duck. Maybe i should try harder at being funny on internet forums? You seem to try pretty hard, perhaps a leaf out of your book would be in order.
This thread has turned out to be quite amusing nonetheless.
I think some words of wisdom from a kid who has clearly been there and done it are appropriate...

P.S Check his post history. Hilarious stuff.

Whoa, last time I venture down here, you girls BITE 
This would depend on the whole 'when' factor, joint selection is fairly recent, so in the past upon passing selection you would be badged to the SAS, now you can pick and choose. SB certainly are not SAS in disguise. Each to their own. EndEx.Neil, Have met a number of SAS who having finished their basic selection

Mike_222 - handbags at dawn? I'm never quite sure if you're taking the p$ss or simply toying with my fragile emotions. Whatever it is I know longer feel like a hippy.
neil_1955 - I do enjoy your 'classical' approach at reasoning with Rover.

Good point. Listen guys this could rumble on for several pages and only those truely in the know will have the answer so best call it a day.
ENDEX PLEASE
Ok I need to pipe in now: as far as I am aware you get your lid after selection (for 22) which in itself involves:mfat_man wrote:druadandruadan wrote:Whoa, last time I venture down here, you girls BITE

Endurance
Continuation Trg
Jungle
Combat Survival/TQ
As for 21/23 as far as I am aware:
Endurance,
Continuation
Battle camp (inc. Combat Survival TQ...?)
Which takes a yearish.
This wearing of the capbadge before all that lot is done is a non starter so far as I am aware.

Yes, point was that upon completion of selection (as your post states) you are badged to whichever regiment you choose, SAS or SB - you do not get badged to the SAS then undertake extra training and join SB, you go one way or the other at the end of the joint selection process. Obviously each unit undertakes it's own specific training AFTER the applicants go one way or the other. Just a mix up of meaning I think.
