Talk:UK Joint Special Forces Selection

Had a talk with an idiot who turned out to actually be a former officer in the SBS reserves, he claimed all Royal Marines are Special Forces, which made me laugh. I concluded the SBS reserves are for Ruperts who got into the Royal Marines because of family connections and who can't cut it as actual Special Forces. The British SF have a high mortality rate even on selection and especially in operations, imagine having to fight three armed enemies coming at you with nothing but a hammer! That scumbag insulted all the SF guys who have died on SF operations, yes the Royal Marines have a tough selection and often become full SBS and even as Marines put their lives on the line but they aren't risking their lives like the SAS guys, no fucking way. I told him he should go to Hereford on a Friday night and tell people there how the Royal Marines are exactly like the SAS.

Someone please rewrite the last bit of that section, as it doesn't really fit.

If it's statistically significant, what is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigturnip (talk • contribs) 19:20, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

This whole section reads like it was written by a 15 year old. Sketch map has been out for nearly 20 years! The last thing on anybody's mind on Atap Hurdle is persistent damp. Comical. As above, copied from unreliable books. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.133.150.142 (talk) 16:20, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Time of continuation training lacked citiation and contradicted two sources I have read in the past, editied it, may be wrong as sources may be unreliable. From what I've read jungle training takes place after a 14 week combat and survival training course, again sources could be wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.215.153.87 (talk) 15:01, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

I always heard you could not apply for the SAS until you'd served three years in the infantry. Is this still the case? There is no mention of it in the article. Valetude (talk) 00:06, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
