I’ve got a 25 metre doggy paddle badge and retrieved a rubber brick in 4ft of water at school years ago whilst in my pyjamas. The SAS and SBS both wanted my skills but after handing the senior instructor a note from my mum on the first day regarding my poorly big toe they regrettably had to let me go. Knowing I had what it takes to be a Special Forces Operative I enrolled with Asda Security undertaking a gruelling 20 minute training regime earning my green fleece. It was probably the proudest moment of my life. I now wear a combat vest and carry a radio whilst in an urban combat retail environment. I often think about my buddies in the Special Forces and wonder how they are coping without me. Now I’m an experienced operative I fancy something more secretive and challenging in a dangerous covert role. I’m applying to be a Tv license inspector so wish me luck.
You've reached the pinnacle in your chosen profession, earning that Green Fleece is a proud moment in any overweight, socially distant,autistic persons life and you have done very well child. With your absolutely zero powers you handle shopping trolley parking disputes with pride, maybe even bagged the odd smack head shoplifter stealing bacon who's evaded the inner security store detective. Yes you are no doubt missed here in Hereford bit take note. Asda Hereford are now hiring.
I am told my great uncle Arthur on my mums side was with SBS during 2 WW. I don’t know if it’s true but my Nana always prayed for all sailors out at sea every night to be safe till the day she died. Never anything else. She said they kept us alive an safe during the war. YNWA.
British Armed Forces are the best in the World, sir. Thank you, my American cousin, for recognising this. We learnt a lot when we lost a most precious piece of Empire to far superior forces called Americans! Nice we're all right about things these days.
I thought the S.B.S had been disbanded now. You lern summit new everyday. Total respect to all these guys and the hero's that lay down their life's for us! You gave the ultimate sacrifice.
@@dbdb9334 Only reason they are on "TV" is due to them being put in the spotlight by the MOD. Its rare for them to be on TV tbh. There are however tons of joint "execises" with both SAS amd SBS working together.
Not really. There are a lot of former SBS members who are big celebrities. I.e Ollie Ollerton, Jason Fox, Ant Middleton, Duncan Falconer, etc. There's probably more famous SBS members than there are SAS. The SRR, though, is the most shadowy. I can't name a single former SRR member
I worked with a chap who was ex RM mountain warfare cadre he was tough as nails and a guy who was ex RAF regiment another toughguy also an ex NZ SAS guy who was rough as old boots I just paled into insignificance great guys but all seemed to have head issues
The direct descendants of todays SBS are the Royal Marines Boom Patrol Detachment (the guys who carried out the ‘Cockleshell Heroes’ raid, 1:55 not the Army’s Special Boat Section. The army Special Boats Section (which actually came under SAS and wore the same cap badge) were disbanded at the end of WW2. The RMBPD were retained, not disbanded, before being renamed the Small Raids Wing, then the Special Boat Company, and then the Special Boat Squadron (comprised of Special Boat Sections), before finally being reorganised and renamed the Special Boat Service in 1987.
The SAS are awesome, but the SBS, I think are on the same level as they are. The only difference is they're more secretive, kind of like Delta Force. Still I like to know about these guys than just the SAS as the SBS are badasses too.
Both do the same selection course, here it is. Here's a breakdown of UKSF (SAS and SBS selection)... PHASE ONE 1. Aptitude; Navigation & Endurance (commonly referred to as Hills Phase) 4 weeks of *DAILY* mountain marches navigating by map from point to point against an *unspecified* time limit. Typical schedule as follows (remember, these marches are EVERY DAY)... Week 1 15-20 km 40lbs weight+weapon, water etc. Week 2 18-24 km 45lbs weight+weapon, water etc. Week 3 20-32 km 50lbs weight+weapon, water etc. Week 4, Test Week; consists of 5 marches over 7 days march 1, 2 & 3; 30 km 60lbs weight+weapon, water etc. march 4; 35 km 60lbs weight+weapon, water etc. THEN, 4 hours rest and start the final march; Long Drag; *65* km 70lbs weight+weapon, water etc. 20-24 hour time limit (weather dependent). --------------- PHASE TWO 2. Jungle warfare, tactics, navigation ALL LIVE FIRE TRAINING. 6 weeks. Those who have passed phase one have to then pass jungle training. Training takes place in Belize or Brunei, deep in jungles. Candidates learn the basics of surviving and patrolling in the harsh conditions. UKSF jungle patrols have to live for weeks behind enemy lines, in 4 man patrols, living on rations. This includes yet more days of marches point to point. Jungle training weeds out those who can't handle the discipline required to keep themselves and their kit in good condition whilst on long range patrols in difficult conditions. Again, there is a mental component being tested, not just a physical. Special Forces teams need men who can work under relentless pressure, in horrendous environments for weeks on end, without a lifeline back to home base. ---------------- PHASE THREE Continuation; Foreign and new weapons skills, CQB training and testing in the world-renowned SAS Killing House where live ammo is used. Advanced infantry and marksmanship skills etc. Escape & Evasion & Tactical Questioning/Resistance to Interrogation The small number of candidates who have made it through endurance and jungle training now enter the final phase of selection. The likelihood of a special operation going wrong behind enemy lines is quite high, given the risks involved. UKSF want soldiers who have the wherewithal and spirit required to escape and evade capture and resist interrogation. For the escape and evasion (E&E) portion of the course, the candidates are given brief instructions on appropriate techniques. This may include talks from former POWs or special forces soldiers who have been in E&E situations in the real world. Next, the candidates are let loose in the countryside, wearing World War 2 vintage coats with instructions to make their way to a series of waypoints without being captured by the hunter force of other soldiers. This portion lasts for 3-5 days after which, captured or not, all candidates report for TQ. Tactical Questioning (TQ) tests the prospective UKSF men's ability to resist interrogation. They are treated roughly by their interrogators, often made to stand in 'stress positions' for hours at a time, while disorientating white noise is blasted at them. When their turn for questioning comes, they must only answer with the so-called 'big 4' (name, rank, serial number and date of birth). All other questions must be answered with 'I'm sorry but I cannot answer that question.' Failure to do so results in failing the course. The questioners will use all sorts of tricks to try and get a reaction from the candidates. They may act friendly and try to get their subjects chatting; or they stand inches away from their subjects and scream unfavourable remarks about the sexual habits of their mothers. Female interrogators may laugh at the size of their subject's manhood. Of course, a real interrogation would be a lot more harsh and the subject would not know that they get to leave alive when it's all over. That said, days of interrogations and enduring the stress positions and white noise break down a man's sense of time and reality. UKSF are looking for men who can withstand such treatment long enough so that the effects of revealing any operational information they might have can be lessoned by HQ. ------------------------------------------------------------ This is 6 months in, successful candidates for the SAS are now badged and report to Hereford, the home of 22 SAS. The SBS candidates still have a further selection/continuation phase to complete before being badged and report Royal Marines Poole, the home of the SBS. Completion of this 6 month selection course is NOT the end. They then start SF training (which never ends) and for the 1st year in particular are on probation; they can be sent back to their original unit at any time.
The swimmers canoeist course was harder . SC 3 course then 2,1 as you go up the ranks. Once you passed the SC 3 course you were badged. It was only bootnecks or navy commandos could apply.
@@hunkybullyab Yes at that time it was only royal marine/navy commando personnel or maybe commando trained army personnel .That’s why the sbs wear the green beret with their own cap badge ie heritage is royal marines .Now it’s tri service. So if someone who has not done the commando course but applies for SBS and gets badged they wear a green beret .

Just to translate from metric, these guys are marching 40 miles with a 60 pound rucksack on their backs in 20 hours. SAS and Delta Force in America do equivalent marches, so this seems to be the standard.
Yes, it's UKSF - United Kingdom Special Forces selection. Both SBS and SAS candidates attend the same selection course up until the point the SAS conclude theirs. Here's the entire thing.

Before you go to the 'briefing Course' i would take time to find out if training is run by a guy call "D*** B***! if so, don't bother and enjoy living a long life
Believe it's something like; Hills phase, SERE training, then onto SRR specifics - advanced driving courses, surveillance and communications training, further weapons training etc. Know women can serve as/attached to SRR too, SF communicators probably get attached also.
@@James-zh8uq pretty much like what u said. They go through a similar selection of the UKSF, after that they go through their own specialized intelligence tradecraft training, advanced driving, surveillance, communication, weapons etc.
The Hardest and longest selection course in the British military is to be an ML(Mountain Leader) which is around 9 months it's hell on earth most very robust a nd experienced soldiers fail.
@@Litheon11 "most likely". There isn't a single Special Forces Unit in Europe that can match the level of the SBS or SAS. There are many who come close, but the professionalism and skill of the SAS/SBS is second to none, worldwide.
@@kirad2234 there are many things that can be compared between units. But to say SAS & SBS are the legit best in Europe, its debatable by others. There are also other special forces units out there that are also very good.
The UKSF selection training is about 6 months. But SBS candidates attend additional maritime training, the Swimmer Canoeist Training Course, which I'm not sure how long.
@Blob B Ground means land and primarily that's SAS considered first as their primary application. Of course SBS operates on land too, but primarily they are a maritime force.
They're a special forces unit, they're actually more like the SEALs. I've thought how well known the SAS is vs how little people know about the SBS is really weird because they do a lot of the same stuff and often do operations together. But yeah they're a special forces unit of the navy in the same way you'd argue that the marines are technically a part of the navy.
HA MOSSAD AUSSERKONTROLLE what makes you say that? How can you know that if we know so little about both groups? sounds like a bias personal opinion to me.
Kristoffer Kachelhoffer so devgru aren’t navy seal per se, so it’s navy seals and then they’re is degru the best of the best that the navy has to offer, they only take the best of the best navy seal, is sbs like that?
HA MOSSAD AUSSERKONTROLLE lol again bias opinion, and trust me I’m not patriotic at all, I just don’t see how you can make a sound judgement without really understanding how both units train and what both units do. Since you know soooo much explains to me what makes the sbs so much better than devgru. And you’re an absolute idiot if you think devgru is “Movie stuff” you sound like a child or a real ignorant person.
After this they are qualified to work at pontins or butlins as a supervisor,once the probationary period of 6 months is complete they can go for management which means they get the till keys AND are in charge of making sure nobody pinches the towels also they can restrain any1 over 3 who shits in the pool.I believe starting salary is about 12.5k rising to 18k for snr pool manager. Don’t fuck with these guys “no running in the pool “ means just that !!
I get what you are trying to say but you are still a disrespectful bell end. Many of these guys go on to be highly paid security advisors or business owners etc. It is largely down to the individual how they transition to the civilian world.
It was a much smaller unit at that time. (70's-80's). About 120 plus auxiliary Bootnecks in a supporting role. Candidates only came from the Royal Royal Marines however the foreign special force nationals would occasionally join an SC3 course. Of those starting the course proper between 3 to 6 on average would remain after the initial 4 months. Para course, and continuation training would be varied within your section be that 2 or 6 Sbs, North or Southern flank of NATO. Experienced ranks would be deployed in more "interesting" areas of conflict with 1 Sbs. Other voluntary options were available to individuals who wished to broaden their experience.
I think you will find there’s more pong is down there Royal! Than ever before , and more Bootneck’s up Hereford , the operation output of both units haven’t changed ,nobody gives a fuck what your last unit was you bell end non of the blokes care
So an ordinary naval rating can join these guys if he has enough time to serve on his contract with the Royal Navy. I never knew that. I thought you had to be in the RMC'S at least 3 years to be able to apply for the SBS. You learn something new every day.
You can’t just join up. You have to pass the training which would be far harder or ordinary naval person compared to a marine hence why most SBS are marines
The sbs are better than the sas. They are more specialised and amphibious land sea and air! And spot on.. Yes they are more secretive to who they are and what they do.. The sas get all the credit and more publicised.. My best mate served with the sbs for 4 years.. Previously with reccy troop 42 commando.
SBS training for sure has to be harder because the water makes it like twice as hard but SAS are unrivalled on land missions that’s why sbs have to do SAS selection
Aren’t they the same but SBS specialises in marine/water based missions and SAS specialises in deployment from the air. I don’t think one is better than the other they just have different strengths.
Maxx P. Problem has been with most of the recent wars taking place exclusively in deserts the SBS had to adapt basically having to be as proficient on land as the SAS
The SBS use much blacker cream on their faces than the SAS... so the public will have a much harder job than they would in identifying the SAS with their easily rubbed off cream. Also, the SBS issue cream to blacken the faces of all the customers in Pubs that they use...because they all know the identity of the SBS lads, and what they do. My mate knows an SBS guy...and when he came home from the Pub...his wife thought he had been auditioning for a part in a remake of The Black And White Minstrel Show...as he knew J*hn Sm*th who was in the SBS...and he had to have his face blacked out. My mate's wife stopped him going to that Pub now because he developed a skin rash...and he totally denies knowing J*hn Sm*th.
@FunnyVideoCollector my Point exactly, Everyone can pass SAS selection but you have to pass SAS selection to go forward to SBS selection. I do not know why people find this difficult.
i tried for sbs never got past this vid lol total respect fro these men
Thank you for your service, albeit limited to watching this video.
😂
Surely you would have to pass out at Lympstone first ? or can younjust apply if you are fit enough ?
I could’ve been in the SBS but they need me down at Tesco to park the trolleys I can’t let them down!
🤣🤣🤣🤣

1. Aptitude; Navigation & Endurance (commonly referred to as Hills Phase) 4 weeks of *DAILY* mountain marches navigating by map from point to point against an *unspecified* time limit. Typical schedule as follows (remember, these marches are EVERY DAY)...
Week 1 15-20 km 40lbs weight+weapon, water etc.

Week 3 20-32 km 50lbs weight+weapon, water etc.
Week 4, Test Week; consists of 5 marches over 7 days
march 1, 2 & 3; 30 km 60lbs weight+weapon, water etc.
march 4; 35 km 60lbs weight+weapon, water etc.
THEN, 4 hours rest and start the final march; Long Drag; *65* km 70lbs weight+weapon, water etc. 20-24 hour time limit (weather dependent).
---------------
PHASE TWO
2. Jungle warfare, tactics, navigation ALL LIVE FIRE TRAINING. 6 weeks.
Those who have passed phase one have to then pass jungle training. Training takes place in Belize or Brunei, deep in jungles. Candidates learn the basics of surviving and patrolling in the harsh conditions. UKSF jungle patrols have to live for weeks behind enemy lines, in 4 man patrols, living on rations. This includes yet more days of marches point to point. Jungle training weeds out those who can't handle the discipline required to keep themselves and their kit in good condition whilst on long range patrols in difficult conditions. Again, there is a mental component being tested, not just a physical. Special Forces teams need men who can work under relentless pressure, in horrendous environments for weeks on end, without a lifeline back to home base.
----------------
PHASE THREE
Continuation; Foreign and new weapons skills, CQB training and testing in the world-renowned SAS Killing House where live ammo is used. Advanced infantry and marksmanship skills etc.
Escape & Evasion & Tactical Questioning/Resistance to Interrogation
The small number of candidates who have made it through endurance and jungle training now enter the final phase of selection. The likelihood of a special operation going wrong behind enemy lines is quite high, given the risks involved. UKSF want soldiers who have the wherewithal and spirit required to escape and evade capture and resist interrogation.

Of course, a real interrogation would be a lot more harsh and the subject would not know that they get to leave alive when it's all over. That said, days of interrogations and enduring the stress positions and white noise break down a man's sense of time and reality. UKSF are looking for men who can withstand such treatment long enough so that the effects of revealing any operational information they might have can be lessoned by HQ.

The SBS candidates still have a further selection/continuation phase to complete before being badged and report Royal Marines Poole, the home of the SBS.
Completion of this 6 month selection course is NOT the end. They then start SF training (which never ends) and for the 1st year in particular are on probation; they can be sent back to their original unit at any time.

Great vids mate
Thanks very much :)
Just to translate from metric, these guys are marching 40 miles with a 60 pound rucksack on their backs in 20 hours. SAS and Delta Force in America do equivalent marches, so this seems to be the standard.
Yes, it's UKSF - United Kingdom Special Forces selection. Both SBS and SAS candidates attend the same selection course up until the point the SAS conclude theirs. Here's the entire thing.
Here's a breakdown of UKSF (SAS and SBS selection)...
PHASE ONE
1. Aptitude; Navigation & Endurance (commonly referred to as Hills Phase) 4 weeks of *DAILY* mountain marches navigating by map from point to point against an *unspecified* time limit. Typical schedule as follows (remember, these marches are EVERY DAY)...
Week 1 15-20 km 40lbs weight+weapon, water etc.
Week 2 18-24 km 45lbs weight+weapon, water etc.
Week 3 20-32 km 50lbs weight+weapon, water etc.
Week 4, Test Week; consists of 5 marches over 7 days
march 1, 2 & 3; 30 km 60lbs weight+weapon, water etc.
march 4; 35 km 60lbs weight+weapon, water etc.
THEN, 4 hours rest and start the final march; Long Drag; *65* km 70lbs weight+weapon, water etc. 20-24 hour time limit (weather dependent).
---------------
PHASE TWO
2. Jungle warfare, tactics, navigation ALL LIVE FIRE TRAINING. 6 weeks.
Those who have passed phase one have to then pass jungle training. Training takes place in Belize or Brunei, deep in jungles. Candidates learn the basics of surviving and patrolling in the harsh conditions. UKSF jungle patrols have to live for weeks behind enemy lines, in 4 man patrols, living on rations. This includes yet more days of marches point to point. Jungle training weeds out those who can't handle the discipline required to keep themselves and their kit in good condition whilst on long range patrols in difficult conditions. Again, there is a mental component being tested, not just a physical. Special Forces teams need men who can work under relentless pressure, in horrendous environments for weeks on end, without a lifeline back to home base.
----------------
PHASE THREE
Continuation; Foreign and new weapons skills, CQB training and testing in the world-renowned SAS Killing House where live ammo is used. Advanced infantry and marksmanship skills etc.
Escape & Evasion & Tactical Questioning/Resistance to Interrogation
The small number of candidates who have made it through endurance and jungle training now enter the final phase of selection. The likelihood of a special operation going wrong behind enemy lines is quite high, given the risks involved. UKSF want soldiers who have the wherewithal and spirit required to escape and evade capture and resist interrogation.
For the escape and evasion (E&E) portion of the course, the candidates are given brief instructions on appropriate techniques. This may include talks from former POWs or special forces soldiers who have been in E&E situations in the real world.
Next, the candidates are let loose in the countryside, wearing World War 2 vintage coats with instructions to make their way to a series of waypoints without being captured by the hunter force of other soldiers. This portion lasts for 3-5 days after which, captured or not, all candidates report for TQ.
Tactical Questioning (TQ) tests the prospective UKSF men's ability to resist interrogation. They are treated roughly by their interrogators, often made to stand in 'stress positions' for hours at a time, while disorientating white noise is blasted at them. When their turn for questioning comes, they must only answer with the so-called 'big 4' (name, rank, serial number and date of birth). All other questions must be answered with 'I'm sorry but I cannot answer that question.' Failure to do so results in failing the course. The questioners will use all sorts of tricks to try and get a reaction from the candidates. They may act friendly and try to get their subjects chatting; or they stand inches away from their subjects and scream unfavourable remarks about the sexual habits of their mothers. Female interrogators may laugh at the size of their subject's manhood. Of course, a real interrogation would be a lot more harsh and the subject would not know that they get to leave alive when it's all over. That said, days of interrogations and enduring the stress positions and white noise break down a man's sense of time and reality. UKSF are looking for men who can withstand such treatment long enough so that the effects of revealing any operational information they might have can be lessoned by HQ.
------------------------------------------------------------
This is 6 months in, successful candidates for the SAS are now badged and report to Hereford, the home of 22 SAS.
The SBS candidates still have a further selection/continuation phase to complete before being badged and report Royal Marines Poole, the home of the SBS.
Completion of this 6 month selection course is NOT the end. They then start SF training (which never ends) and for the 1st year in particular are on probation; they can be sent back to their original unit at any time.

how do i join from the states
I want to join
Before you go to the 'briefing Course' i would take time to find out if training is run by a guy call "D*** B***! if so, don't bother and enjoy living a long life
I thought you also had to have time served in infantry as well as at least one combat TOD
Nope.
There's all sorts of non-Infantry types kicking around Poole nowadays.
massive long shot anything on the SRR, pretty hard to find anything about it compared to the SAS SBS etc
Believe it's something like; Hills phase, SERE training, then onto SRR specifics - advanced driving courses, surveillance and communications training, further weapons training etc. Know women can serve as/attached to SRR too, SF communicators probably get attached also.
Could be wrong however as they are badged members of UKSF
@@James-zh8uq regarded as the easiest selection of the 3
@@trident1314 because you've already past selection for sa or sb
@@James-zh8uq pretty much like what u said. They go through a similar selection of the UKSF, after that they go through their own specialized intelligence tradecraft training, advanced driving, surveillance, communication, weapons etc.
Maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that the SBS is Royal Navy and not part of the British Army.
Yes, RN.
The Hardest and longest selection course in the British military is to be an ML(Mountain Leader) which is around 9 months it's hell on earth most very robust a nd experienced soldiers fail.
The world you mean, not the British military
@@kirad2234 well most likely europe atleast.
@@Litheon11 "most likely". There isn't a single Special Forces Unit in Europe that can match the level of the SBS or SAS. There are many who come close, but the professionalism and skill of the SAS/SBS is second to none, worldwide.
Are you saying ML have the hardest selection course?😂😂😂😂
@@kirad2234 there are many things that can be compared between units. But to say SAS & SBS are the legit best in Europe, its debatable by others. There are also other special forces units out there that are also very good.
These guy's not many people know about their the real deal
How long is SBS training
From marine recruitment ? 3 or 4 years
Longer than u think
And I think it's a year + for specialized training
The UKSF selection training is about 6 months. But SBS candidates attend additional maritime training, the Swimmer Canoeist Training Course, which I'm not sure how long.
@@dallasyap3064 Its all about 9 months
Rumour has it Dan Bilzarian passed SBS selection twice 😜
SAY IT ALL...MARITIME..💥💥💥🇬🇧
Does the uk have a special ground force?
Yes alan titchmarsh and charlie dimmock are members
Do you mean the pathfinders 😉
SAS
@Blob B Ground means land and primarily that's SAS considered first as their primary application. Of course SBS operates on land too, but primarily they are a maritime force.
Special boat squadron?
W J service
That is what we used to be called pre 1998, then they renamed us to Special Boat Service
@@Dave_Cymru why did you say "us"?
@@Dave_Cymru Are you still active on this account?
This is so weird to me (American) so is the sbs. Army marines or navy? They’re are often compared to the us devgru but devgru is definitely the navy.
They're a special forces unit, they're actually more like the SEALs. I've thought how well known the SAS is vs how little people know about the SBS is really weird because they do a lot of the same stuff and often do operations together.
But yeah they're a special forces unit of the navy in the same way you'd argue that the marines are technically a part of the navy.
HA MOSSAD AUSSERKONTROLLE what makes you say that? How can you know that if we know so little about both groups? sounds like a bias personal opinion to me.
Kristoffer Kachelhoffer so devgru aren’t navy seal per se, so it’s navy seals and then they’re is degru the best of the best that the navy has to offer, they only take the best of the best navy seal, is sbs like that?
HA MOSSAD AUSSERKONTROLLE lol again bias opinion, and trust me I’m not patriotic at all, I just don’t see how you can make a sound judgement without really understanding how both units train and what both units do. Since you know soooo much explains to me what makes the sbs so much better than devgru. And you’re an absolute idiot if you think devgru is “Movie stuff” you sound like a child or a real ignorant person.
They belong to the navy as do the Royal marines, SBS are more comparable Devgru and not regular Seals
Super boat soldiers
I punched an ‘orse once
odd-looking-dude :P “Alright Vinny how’s it going?!” 😂
Heh, heh, gun go pew.
Oh is that all? Here i thought it would be difficult. 😁
After this they are qualified to work at pontins or butlins as a supervisor,once the probationary period of 6 months is complete they can go for management which means they get the till keys AND are in charge of making sure nobody pinches the towels also they can restrain any1 over 3 who shits in the pool.I believe starting salary is about 12.5k rising to 18k for snr pool manager.
Don’t fuck with these guys “no running in the pool “ means just that !!
I get what you are trying to say but you are still a disrespectful bell end. Many of these guys go on to be highly paid security advisors or business owners etc. It is largely down to the individual how they transition to the civilian world.
In my opinion the SBS were the best when they were part of the Corps and made up of 100% bootnecks.
Absolute bullshit
@@ghunterh9827 it's just my opinion pick your toys up.
It was a much smaller unit at that time. (70's-80's). About 120 plus auxiliary Bootnecks in a supporting role. Candidates only came from the Royal Royal Marines however the foreign special force nationals would occasionally join an SC3 course. Of those starting the course proper between 3 to 6 on average would remain after the initial 4 months. Para course, and continuation training would be varied within your section be that 2 or 6 Sbs, North or Southern flank of NATO. Experienced ranks would be deployed in more "interesting" areas of conflict with 1 Sbs. Other voluntary options were available to individuals who wished to broaden their experience.
I think you will find there’s more pong is down there Royal! Than ever before , and more Bootneck’s up Hereford , the operation output of both units haven’t changed ,nobody gives a fuck what your last unit was you bell end non of the blokes care
@@ghunterh9827 LOL! What a tosser!
So an ordinary naval rating can join these guys if he has enough time to serve on his contract with the Royal Navy.
I never knew that.
I thought you had to be in the RMC'S at least 3 years to be able to apply for the SBS.
You learn something new every day.
Any UK Service/Branch/Corps/Regt can apply for SF.
You can’t just join up. You have to pass the training which would be far harder or ordinary naval person compared to a marine hence why most SBS are marines
The sbs are better than the sas. They are more specialised and amphibious land sea and air! And spot on.. Yes they are more secretive to who they are and what they do.. The sas get all the credit and more publicised.. My best mate served with the sbs for 4 years.. Previously with reccy troop 42 commando.
SBS training for sure has to be harder because the water makes it like twice as hard but SAS are unrivalled on land missions that’s why sbs have to do SAS selection
For uksf selection sas, sbs or srr the first phase of the selection ie hill phase is combined.
Aren’t they the same but SBS specialises in marine/water based missions and SAS specialises in deployment from the air. I don’t think one is better than the other they just have different strengths.
Maxx P. Problem has been with most of the recent wars taking place exclusively in deserts the SBS had to adapt basically having to be as proficient on land as the SAS
@Atae1234 they're still here, Im in Afghanistan now and can confirm this.

VERY DIFFICULT TO PASS, TRY PASSING THE "IRISH RANGER WING" "BRUTAL"
IRW 🤣
Cheers for that, I needed a laugh.
U mean Ireland's Army Ranger Wing?
The SBS use much blacker cream on their faces than the SAS... so the public will have a much harder job than they would in identifying the SAS with their easily rubbed off cream. Also, the SBS issue cream to blacken the faces of all the customers in Pubs that they use...because they all know the identity of the SBS lads, and what they do. My mate knows an SBS guy...and when he came home from the Pub...his wife thought he had been auditioning for a part in a remake of The Black And White Minstrel Show...as he knew J*hn Sm*th who was in the SBS...and he had to have his face blacked out. My mate's wife stopped him going to that Pub now because he developed a skin rash...and he totally denies knowing J*hn Sm*th.
Thanks R*ontie Mal* 😆

Absolute rubbish. You cannot go for SBS unless you have passed SAS selection.
"Absolute rubbish. You cannot go for SBS unless you have passed SAS selection."
