Think the nearest thing in the UK would be SPAG, but you would need to join the Navy for a start.

Before you ask; SPAG=
Submarine Parachute Assistance Group.

nah mate don't wanna do SPAG, was just curious about pararescue as I've never heard of a British equivalent, still going raf reg. The basic has just been extended to 29 weeks too, like I said I'll focus of getting through that before I even think about any sort of gucci specialisation.

Hello Tommy,

"I'll focus of getting through that before I even think about any sort of gucci specialisation"

Good move, once your training is behind you a whole new world opens up.

Go for it.
