Hi
I am a 16 year old male from South Africa and I have a few questions to ask
1) As a South African, can I join the British army (Paras) ?
2) How long exactly would I need to serve in the Paras until I would be able to
attempt SAS selection?
3) If at all possible, could a Paras/SAS regiment workout be sent to me ? I
have found one online which claims to be the fitness standards of most
special forces but I would like to know if I have to work and train harder
than I currently am. My workout at the moment is a 2km run, a 200meter sprint up a hill
5 minutes of bridge(plank), 80 pushups, 100 situps, 12 pullups, 50 barbell press
30 brabell overheads and 20 bicep curls each arm. I also increase the workout every 10 days
Much thanks to anyone who can help me out
