Quick question??

If your in the SAS as you say, then why are you broadcasting this on YOUTUBE?

Is it not a requirement that you sign a waiver that you dont blab stuff like this about?

Especially after Mr.Mcnab started making his books the SAS wanted in particullar wants to protect its service record and the idendity of its troops. Im sure anyone with some hacking ability could easily discover your IP after going on YOUTUBE and find out more details about you?

They are not a recognised army because they are a terror cell; and as such are NOT protected by the geneva convention. The only good durka is a dead durka.

When you are in the army you can do an all arms commando course and still remain in the army. It would me a good prep for special forces.

There is also special forces support groups as well. Which means even if you cannot make special forces grade there is programs that come pretty close to special forces. These groups are equal in ability to US special operations commands.

If you want to be prepared for joining the RMC (royal marine commandos) then fitness is a must have.

A good way to prepare for this is to train using various programs. I would suggest cross country running or triathlons.

and also use circuit training research this online. As it can do wonders for your fitness.

Doing triathlon competitively can prepare you mentally for tough training. as at some point you will hit a wall and you will need to over come this.

You could join a technical devision and explain to your parents that this is less dangerous. Like a chef, mechanic, medic.

To do these course you will do basic training and be qualified to be a infantry man.

When you complete these training courses there is nothing stopping you from doing the All Arms Commando Course and qualify as a commando and wear the green beret.

I am not saying that this easy nor what you want to do but there is many options.
