Yeah from what I've heard the barrier testing is easy as compared to the actual training. I was talking to a Commando the other day who was a reservist and passed the courses... He simply told me, "don't worry about if your in the reserves or not, if you want it bad enough, you'll get it." I'm not saying you'd have to train really had to get it, but I feel if you can handle it and learn quickly... You can make it.
@MadeInAussie1992 Fitness. Beyond all else, that's what'll make you or break you. Everything else'll help, but remember that you get trained pretty comprehensively. It's mostly the mental aspect that gets people in the end, I'd say.
everyone always wants to join SF when they first join. My advance would be to join infantry first, do ARTC then SIngo. Once you have been in the corp for a year, train and apply ofr recon. Once a few years experience after that apply for the commando section of the carta course... Thats my take on it anyway
I read a story about one guy who made it through the SASR selection... He was a civi joined the Reserves was in that for a month before he applied for SASR, passed the selection and who knows where he is now. I just joined the reserves and I'm going to go on the next commando intake (full-time) in March. Why not apply for 4RAR after your 2 years as a reservist??
Mate I passed CDO selection back in 87 and it nearly killed me. I was 22 at the time and was already a qualified Assault Pioneer in the Reserves. DO NOT train for their fitness selection, you won't make it.I beat out two Tactical Response Group cops to make selection. They will run you, swim you, uphill and down dale for two days without remorse. You will drop and sit up, push up until you puke... and then they will run you some more. Log carrys, man carrys.. it goes on and on. Best of luck mate
@richyboy12 great to read over ur advice im in year 12 and recently inrolled with my you session coming around may as my first preference was comando i have been researching would be great to get some advice mate:)
Don't go in a shit kicker, there's a certain height in ranks you can get before it ends. If you go in and 18 months as officer training you'll come out with a shit load of respect.
@34lbs hes still wrong, however... interrogations are not performed by SAS and VIP escorts are done by Commandos/Cavalrymen unless the VIP is Colonel rank or above, which is rare. I should know this, as I'm a Corporal rank Commando Grade 2, 2 Cdo Regt. what you say about SAS acting as Commandos during service is correct, however. SAS rarely (if ever) are allowed to reveal their duties. if you pretend to be SAS, the real SAS will come to your house and pummell your face into the ground.
+Lewis Hughes No Commando selection and SASR selection are totally different beasts. Look at the Commandos as being more akin to the US Rangers and the SASR as DELTA. You can apply to the Australian Commandos as many times as you like. You can only apply to the SASR once and then if you fail (even if you are medically discharged due to injury) you can not retake the course. That alone explains the vast difference. That said both operate in similar situations and in fact both the SASR and 2nd Commando Regiment often undertake joint deployment.
@@drabbit4594 Yes the CTC (commando training Course) and Cadre (SASR) are different. I passed the CTC in 2006 as direct entry applicant. It is false however that you can apply to the CTC as many times as you wish. It really is the discretion of the DS and command if you can reapply.
@sargextc your understanding of "combat medic" is rather underwhelming, australia does not have medics in the sense your thinking. Its merely a position within a field hospital as an assistant nurse
mate saying they hide behid other people is exactly the same thing but once you bring forth some proof of them being like that instead of confessing your male oriented sexuality then you might be worth listening to

That was bloody awesome
@TownPiligan14 Army, and the Aussie SAS are known as the SASR
From 0:52-1:03, that is awsum that a Vet is sayin that about us. Aussie's kick arse!

@WarXerxes thanks a lot! that answers my question quite well!

No experience in Commandos.. except the physical expectations are huge!
If u can run 5km without breakin a sweat u should be ok.
the SASR are part of the ADF. I think you meant to say the AIF rarely raid buildings
@V8Ziggy If you're not willing to stand behind Australias soldiers, feel free to stand in front of them.
@richyboy12 great to read over ur advice im in year 12 and recently inrolled with my you session coming around may as my first preference was comando i have been researching would be great to get some advice mate:)
You will find that Infantry, more so recon, will satisfy you
Good point but I know a bit through my cousin former 4rar (2nd commando)

same here m8. Defiantely the job for me
You will be fitter than a 1st Grade Rubgy League player and that's a fact.

@WarXerxes but why? aren't the f88's good enough:?
takes one to know one sucramsam
Do the commandos participate in the same selection course as the sasr?
Kind of, just less tough. But only slightly less tough.

Why are they issued with U.S weapons?

Oh, you were expecting footage of an actual special forces mission?
