Those wishing to join the SBS must first go through a two-week aptitude test, which consists of the following:
Boating Week. Candidates must
pass a combat fitness test
pass the SBS swimming test, which demands 600m in 15 minutes , 50m clothed with weapon and belt kit, and 25m underwater.
Complete all canoe trials, including a 5km march with Bergen and canoe and 30km canoe paddle.
Diving Week. Complete a number of dives, generally show confidence and willingness to dive.
Those successful will go on to the joint SAS/SBS selection course
Brecon Beacons phase (3 weeks)- land navigation marches with Bergen and weapon, culminating in " long drag". The majority who drop out will do so in this phase.
Pre-jungle training(2 weeks)- working in four-man patrols.
Jungle Training, Brunei (6 weeks).
Officer week/signals training (1 week).
Support Weapons Training (1 week).
Army Combat Survival Instructor Course (2 weeks)- survival, evasion, resistance, escape; well-known for its harsh Resistance To Interrogation training; the last phase where many will be " binned".
Continuation training takes place mainly at Hereford
Demolitions (2 weeks)
Observation Post Training (1 week)
CQB Course (2 weeks)
Individual Skills Courses (8 weeks)- during this time men will undergo training as Special Forces medics or signallers, or further demolitions training. Officers attend language training and a Special Forces commander's course.
Static Line Parachute Course (3 weeks)- for those who are not qualified paratroopers.
SBS students go on to their own 8-week boating and diving course, including underwater navigation and demolition, negotiating surf zones and navigating a 55km course in the Klepper canoe, and infiltration via submarine. Following this Marines are rated as Swimmer Canoeist Class 3, and entitled to wear the badge of this specialist qualification on the left cuff of their blue and green dress uniforms, " SC" over a wreath.

No its not foriegn or from another fourm. I researched the SBS training on google and come across a web page that had quite alot of information on the SBS. I looked though the posts on here to see if anyone new what the SBS did in terms of training and I couldent find much apart from some info on certain parts of the training so I though I would post this to give people a better idea. It may be old but I would think that the SBS (Special Boat Service) or SC (Swimmer Canoeist) --shifty_uk-- still do the same sort of training. If anyone can find a more up to date info on the SBS training then I will happily edit the above.
You forgot to mention that these secrets are in that very dark room during a solar eclipseSticky Blue wrote:You could also look up "SF 2000" as the SBS and SAS do the same initial course... after that I don't have a scooby doo as it is all shrouded in a darness that is darker than a dark place with the lights off and the quilt over the head with a blindfold on.
I would guess it involves people and places but apart from that it is very very very very very Toppest secret but I know nothing
