Do not EVER underestimate the effort required for SF (Commando/SAS) selection. You are looking at close to Olympic class fitness and a never say die mental attitude. (Probably the fitness required at the end of Boot Camp and then go through the whole fitness side again (but only the 2nd time through significantly decrease the pass times required). I havent done it, but I HAVE spoken to those who have successfully passed and all say that its really something you ever only want to do once.
Had friends of mine that served Nz SAS. Both smoked like chimneys and were the fittest guys you ever saw. People like that always pissed me off I have one lunger and I'm struggling to breath on a run lol
Good to see at least ONE person has the basic idea of it down. I was 9 years Australian Army, i was never a part of any SF but i probably have a fair idea of whats required and what's going on. I was 22 months in Astan and worked closely with some cdo, sasr and irr lads. Just ignore these kids, mate. All the best.
During World War II the battalion was sent to New Guinea in 1942 and between July and August of that year the unit was heavily engaged in the defence of the Kokoda Trail during which time they fought several desperate actions against the Japanese as they attempted to hold out until further reinforcements could be brought up from Port Moresby. Such was their involvement in the battle that by the time they were withdrawn they could only muster 32 men
This is true. I have had several family members in the Australian SF and i have a lot of knowledge. This is the SF entry test, this video doesn't show the whole story, this is what you do before selection. SFET includes 10 pull ups, 60 press ups, 100 curls ups, a 2.4 km run in 10:30, 3.2 km run in 16:00, 5km run in 22:00, 2:00 tread water, a 400m swim in 16:00, 25m underwater swim, 15km fast march in 2hr 15, multistage fitness test lv10, yo yo intermittent test Lv10 This is just the beginning
Be aware that this is only a standard physical and psychological benchmark before you go onward to any form of acceptance to apply to any selection procedure.We have a finite resource of money and manpower, it's designed to basically to seperate the grain from the chaff.
The BFA is just pushups, situps and a 2.4 in pt gear. This is called the Barrier test. About a month after this you attempt the 5 week commando selection course or the 2 week 6 days SASR Selection course. After either of those is passed (depending which one you applied for), you will then do your reinforcment cycle to be qualified in that trade. Thats it. The BFA is army wide, this is just for SF applicants.
That was very interesting indeed. Back in the early 80's we had a thing called a BE (battle efficiency test). Carrying a loaded pack/webbing/SLR rife - You had to squad run 5 miles then turn around and squad speed march 5 miles back. Then you had a 100m firemans carry of a bloke and all his kit (incl yours plus weapon); a 9ft ditch jump; then the 6 ft wall. Finaly a shoot hitting target with 15 of 20 rounds. Everyone did it as part of Basic. No water provided!! Gotta be hard in the Aussie heat.
@GuyW71 completing this means you can go on to either the: - SASR selection if you make it to the end and the Directing Staff decide to pick you you then go through 18 months of training, then if you manage to pass that, then you are in th SASR - or commando training, if you pass that then you are a commando
I personally met one of these guys who took part in 2 "combat tours" in Iraq and Afghanistan and I should say anyone who thinks about becoming an Aussie Special Forces member faces a huge challenge! However it is achievable provided you have an extremely strong will to win .
thats strange , werent those hijackers from saudi arabia... btw; that pti scott, was a raeme vehicle mechanic with 102fws.. back in the 90tys,.. he went for the sas and failed, now he trains them ;;]] lol...
i remember the swimming test in the first week of kapooka , so many people struggled to tread water for 2 mins. i had a guy next to me that almost draged me down with him lol. i got leg injurys and was put in digger james platoon and there was a guy in there going for commandos, he was injured and could bust out 300+ push ups without a need it was just his self training
@lachlanSB Mate, this is the test to show that you can go to Selection for either regiment. The selection course is about 3 weeks long for SAS and is absolutely gruelling, made to break you physically and mentally to see what sort of person you are. If you make it to the end, which is statistically unlikely, they have to approve you, then there is 18 months of reinforcement training which is also very difficult.. That about sums it up.
i understand that another difference is that the SASR test also provides lots less feedback as to how you are going, where as 4RAR will give you a more running commentary on your performance.
this is the selection course and then i believe you go on to do 12-18months training and then your a qualified commando. Prior to the selction course you can either get fast tracked in from the public ( usually ex-police, etc) or you have had to have been in the army for a while before going for the selection course. most applicants are from the infantry units such as rifleman, etc but anyone can apply.
Commandos (2CDO) is Counter Terrorism, Advanced Force Operations, Direct Action and Recovery, Strike, CSAR, Foreign Internal Defence, Protective Security Details and Counter Terrorism among other unconventional warfare roles. However, they are also expected to be able to fight as a conventional military force. SASR has all of these capabilities and also a world leading deep recon capability, however they are outside the normal chain of command and can thus take part in deniable and illegal ops
I'm applying for RAE reserves with the intention of trying out for commandos after a year so hopefully march 2014. I figured that much time is enough to prepare.
@RIOThacky Im enlisted as a rifle man in the Australian army reserves when im 19 i will go for the selection course for commando in the special forces. The selection course only happens twice a year and SASR candidates are selected from few soldiers already serving in the ADF.. however commando's can be direct entry. gl
For most missions yes, but illegal (according to international law) missions are sometimes required for our national security and take place more often than you think. I saw an interview once that said the politicians and occasionally the top military brass get left out of the loop because A) they don't know enough about the SASR and its capabilities to command it, and B) because the diplomatic implications for a failed black op will be lessened if a "rouge" SF unit is blamed rather than the PM.
Good work Mczingerwhopper, the poor little guy seems lonely and in need of some good man loving. I commend you on your taking one for the team, but also helping a young confused "man" find himself in this terrible and prejudiced world. It may be a little more difficult for him to write silly comments on here when he's preoccupied elsewhere also. Good show.
@ytrewqasfd the civilain version is not hard barrel and only stays acurate within 1ft from 300m for 5000 rounds - without correction. the military, is hard barreled and stays acurate for upto and beyond 10,000 rounds and is almost a versitile as the ak-47, it just wont fire if its filled with sand. it hardly ever jams.
This is just the pt test the actual selection will break your body down and be physically painful . It’s all mental, but be in great shape to reduce risk of injury.
In the Swedish Armed Forces, GMU (Basic Military Training) is performed (?) year-round. So some recruits will get trained in winter conditions from the start. And for a lot of units, winter training is mandatory. Like for the Parachute Rangers, Coastal Rangers and Arctic Rangers for example (in Sweden Rangers are not counted as SF). It used to be different back when we had conscription. I get what you're saying, but I don't really get your point. And I think that's because there isn't any.
The main problems of the screaming pint, is its all timed, which later on they expect the same amount of heaves after a 3 hours pi training session, meaning that if you did 20 heaves at the start or 50 push ups at the start, they are expecting the same results after a grueling pi testing which will go for 2 hours running with packs and with out packs then ask to do the same as you started with the basic or intense screaming physical screening amounts for 21 minutes max push ups or pull ups etc., so think about a marathon runner say 1/2 marathon and then asked to do the push ups and heaves based on your first testing markers ? thats how hard it is full stop and if you cant reach the minims your out no secound chances and thats just for the commando regiments ? then add approx 50% more for the SASR ?
@bleushift yea its just basic the push ups and sit ups and pull ups are the same in our regs too and even swiming but the specific types of weapons and other training is for SF and not regs i dont know much about the dutch army and their training but I cant imagine its as hard as our SF entry tests maybe but doubt it
@usnavysealsguy Anyone from the armed forces can apply for SASR selection, for example, once an RAAF Pilot completed selection and joined the SASR.... For exact details talk to an army recruiter, they will know more then any one watching youtube.... I can tell you selection is held once a year in winter (July - August)
I cant wait to join the army and to start hard training to get into the special forces regiment , If you guys are like me and love Australian army the search for warriors and tour of duty Australia's secret war are great documentaries!
@love44jesus4ever not that I know of, the SAS is sort of a 'It doesn't matter if you can survive the few weeks of physical and mental torture and lucky dip pig head and generic vegitable matter eating test you should be good enough" if your a good enough marksman and preform well it doesnt matter, though a HSC might help, though if you want an officer position it may be instrumental, wit the Next Careers expo ask the recruiter, or try the defence websit, good luck
@4tw4tw4tw you can do a commando course when ur 19 without being in the military to start with and after 2 years of commando service can apply for SASR
I failed it because I can’t swim well and this was 20 years back, the pack March was annoying, being the lmg barrels carrier didn’t made it better, did made it to 2rar, not saying 2rar is bad but did made it to elite forces, made my dad proud
Most important of any SF tests is you need to be part of a team effort & also that your feet muscles are up there with very strong sets, especially with Army issue foot boots, forget using runners as they will make your feet get use to the training in them, till you put on the GP boots & then you will have an issue with your feet, blisters which will hurt to the point of slowing you down & also all the tests they say you need to pass, the instructors will ask you do do it when ever they want, so dont expect to do what is on this uploads as only the fitness tests, they may ask you to tread water for 2 minutes after you have ran for 2.5 KM & the water tests, so basically its about being fit with stamina on all levels of you body & also try to find a test manual from those who are already in the units, then you will have a better chance & not get surprised with testing which your not used too or trained for good LUCK. :) Most of the time its mind games that the instructors will play with you, even through you can do 100 push up's in 2 minutes they will ask you do do them at any time during the testing ? Even after a week of no sleep & not much food, which is why you see the man spew his guts ?
Fucken singleton. Bad memories. If we weren't out Bush we did 2 pt sessions a day. One morning and again in the afternoon. Above the pool was the confidence course. The pti's were beasts
***** im not from the city dickwad so what about the spelling I was having a few drinks that and yes I do now what anzacs stands for because my grandfather was one
***** I want to now how you have come up with all these acusations about me you now nothing about me or my family come on tell tell me I bet you are are a armchair worrier or a uni student who thinks he oe she nows about every thing and how dare you disrespect my grandfather he was a Anzac who past away in 1975 I gather you don't give a fuck about the anzacs or Australian military personal you are just a internet troll who get its jollies saying shit about Australian military personal
Not to start a fight, just imagine this (has nothing to do with the heat), you just implied that being burnt alive slowly on a fire is pleasant or being shot. A quick death is sudden and painless though with a slow death you have to endure the pain for an unknown duration.
If that is the current standard for our SFET, then im sad to say, the bar has been lowered to the ground. In 1986, the video you just watched was what everyone needed to do just to get into the A.R.A.
Im currently looking into the Special Forces Direct Recruitment Scheme, as i am intently interested in becoming a Commando, or joining the SASR, any advice?
@love44jesus4ever nah mate this is just a simple physical training pre test guide for any special forces, once you do this you have to go through the SASR or Commando Selection courses, from what I here, the SASR one is hell, very few make it through, but rewarding if you get it, if you want to see the SASR training then read, 'warrior training' by kieth fennell, he details the selction course (real training is classified) its alot more than 15 push ups and 48 sit ups lol
@shalidar96 Cheers brother, you say if you make it through the 3 weeks then they have to approve you, so does that mean the only way you drop out is by you own decision or medical problems? or can they say your not what we want piss off?
@australbanian Tobruk, Syria, Palestine, Britian (airwar), Malaya, Singapore (commando missions after its fall) Italy, Cold War, Fighting again in SE Asia against the indonesian SF, Vietnam, Leading the charge into east timor, the first UN boots on the ground, Countless APEC Security Details, Afganastan Recon/high risk patrols, Part of the charge into Iraq, thats where we were, just incase anyone wants references
@mokaraka95 i think it's ok because they're not operational (probably do the admin within the SF, are ex operatives) you can't show the guys faces who are actually currently doing the SF operational tasks, or training for it
I know the answers to your SAS riddle question and I know what it takes to succeed... pitty I am am so unfit now haha... Basically to be a good sas trooper you need to be a perfect example of a human being!
The RDJ 'used to be' designed to do blah blah. Now it's a "land in gravel after a half-arsed jump". I still remember when the 6 foot pit had concrete edges. Back then, people jumped because breaking a shin wasn't "fun". I get older, the world gets lazier.
Considring how badass tough the Aust SAS are, this cant be all of it lol to get in :D Although the march at the end has to be pretty painful and probably fails out quite a few.
>The weather conditions in Sweden are much more mentally and physically requiring than in Australia for example. Yeah I mean it never gets hot in Australia or anything.
@australbanian so what about the two new transport ships we are getting that could move our fighter-bombers to Albania. what are u going to use to shoot them down? ur own fighters?
the Governor General, Major General Michael Jeffrey, described the 39th Battalion as some of "Australia's most gallant soldiers", stating that the Australian nation was indebted to them for "their heroic service".
Hahaha all of the parts in the video with the old world war 2 bunkers in the background and the officers talking about the training to the camera was filmed where i live(Newcastle) I recognise them =D
Hey does any1 know the actual amounts of heaves and how many push ups are required in the entry test to be a Commando. And does it vary if ur doing part time instead of full time.
Like I've already said to spackhollogay, cold will kill in minutes, heat will kill in hours or maybe even days. I'm not saying that the SOG training is harder than the SASR. I'm saying that the conditions in Sweden are a lot harscher. Operating in sub-arctic conditions requires more of the group and individual than operating in heat. Hah you think that just because there's over a meter of snow they wont go out? Swedish Parachute Rangers and Arctic Rangers constantly operate in -40 celsius.

thanks for posting im joining up as a commando and this is a great video to actually see what to expect its a lot different when its written on paper.
How’d it go mate
Very useful, thanks for the info!
This video informed me well, thankyou
Thanks so much for this post!
I'm going to try and get myself to this standard and join later on!
m80 been a 11 years howd ya go mate hha
AWESOME!!! keep it up brothers!! :D glad to have you guys protecting us
Good to see at least ONE person has the basic idea of it down. I was 9 years Australian Army, i was never a part of any SF but i probably have a fair idea of whats required and what's going on. I was 22 months in Astan and worked closely with some cdo, sasr and irr lads. Just ignore these kids, mate. All the best.
Fysical entry looks hord
Your mental test will be the hardest
@T.V Pines 74 check video description
Aussies have an amazing amount of grit and an even stronger bond with their mates
Great footage of our Australian Defence Force, with high standards for our such needed global security problem.
During World War II the battalion was sent to New Guinea in 1942 and between July and August of that year the unit was heavily engaged in the defence of the Kokoda Trail during which time they fought several desperate actions against the Japanese as they attempted to hold out until further reinforcements could be brought up from Port Moresby. Such was their involvement in the battle that by the time they were withdrawn they could only muster 32 men

This is just the beginning
Be aware that this is only a standard physical and psychological benchmark before you go onward to any form of acceptance to apply to any selection procedure.We have a finite resource of money and manpower, it's designed to basically to seperate the grain from the chaff.
The BFA is just pushups, situps and a 2.4 in pt gear. This is called the Barrier test. About a month after this you attempt the 5 week commando selection course or the 2 week 6 days SASR Selection course. After either of those is passed (depending which one you applied for), you will then do your reinforcment cycle to be qualified in that trade. Thats it. The BFA is army wide, this is just for SF applicants.
These guys make it look easier then it probably is
That was very interesting indeed. Back in the early 80's we had a thing called a BE (battle efficiency test). Carrying a loaded pack/webbing/SLR rife - You had to squad run 5 miles then turn around and squad speed march 5 miles back. Then you had a 100m firemans carry of a bloke and all his kit (incl yours plus weapon); a 9ft ditch jump; then the 6 ft wall. Finaly a shoot hitting target with 15 of 20 rounds.

yes it was a great series my other half bought the dvd set of it
its all part of being in a relashionship i gather you love her heaps
thank you mate its ok we are thinking of adopting very true
cool glad to help its better than alot of the other remedys on the market
i understand that another difference is that the SASR test also provides lots less feedback as to how you are going, where as 4RAR will give you a more running commentary on your performance.
@BLAKMAGK1234 correction, he is carrying the AUG AUSTYER F88, its the military version, the AUG-HBAR is the civilan variant.
this is the selection course and then i believe you go on to do 12-18months training and then your a qualified commando. Prior to the selction course you can either get fast tracked in from the public ( usually ex-police, etc) or you have had to have been in the army for a while before going for the selection course. most applicants are from the infantry units such as rifleman, etc but anyone can apply.
thank you mate very true your welcome i have just made some using seasoning for steak and chops bloody good shit man yummmmmm i bought it at auldi

This is just the test to be able to take the SAS or Commando selection courses.
@usnavysealsguy No problem, best of luck to you, i hope you know what your getting into becouse it will be much, much harder then what you think.
Id like to see you go head to head with a Australian Special forces soldier.

Fair play mate. Atleast you gave it a go. 2rar is a great battalion.
@TheAustralianBloke do you know aht they expect of you? i also wish to get in someday. what do you mean by "got to get in first though"?
Congratulations kid :)
so bloody true mate
Most important of any SF tests is you need to be part of a team effort & also that your feet muscles are up there with very strong sets, especially with Army issue foot boots, forget using runners as they will make your feet get use to the training in them, till you put on the GP boots & then you will have an issue with your feet, blisters which will hurt to the point of slowing you down & also all the tests they say you need to pass, the instructors will ask you do do it when ever they want, so dont expect to do what is on this uploads as only the fitness tests, they may ask you to tread water for 2 minutes after you have ran for 2.5 KM & the water tests, so basically its about being fit with stamina on all levels of you body & also try to find a test manual from those who are already in the units, then you will have a better chance & not get surprised with testing which your not used too or trained for good LUCK. :) Most of the time its mind games that the instructors will play with you, even through you can do 100 push up's in 2 minutes they will ask you do do them at any time during the testing ? Even after a week of no sleep & not much food, which is why you see the man spew his guts ?
Fucken singleton. Bad memories. If we weren't out Bush we did 2 pt sessions a day. One morning and again in the afternoon. Above the pool was the confidence course. The pti's were beasts
Just words of wisdom.
@TheAustralianBloke Is the training a fair amount harder then this?
@NickTheVmaster SAS = the best of the Commandos basically, or a hammer which has been ground down to a fine edge
Voice of reason.
for building muscle: push your body and work hard, as well as having a rest for a day or two you should also eat a lot of protein while on those days!
Forgot to add - The 10 miler had to done in 2 hours (2hrs ten mins max).

Not to start a fight, just imagine this (has nothing to do with the heat), you just implied that being burnt alive slowly on a fire is pleasant or being shot. A quick death is sudden and painless though with a slow death you have to endure the pain for an unknown duration.
If that is the current standard for our SFET, then im sad to say, the bar has been lowered to the ground. In 1986, the video you just watched was what everyone needed to do just to get into the A.R.A.
Ok, Thanks man,
Im currently looking into the Special Forces Direct Recruitment Scheme, as i am intently interested in becoming a Commando, or joining the SASR, any advice?
@love44jesus4ever nah mate this is just a simple physical training pre test guide for any special forces, once you do this you have to go through the SASR or Commando Selection courses, from what I here, the SASR one is hell, very few make it through, but rewarding if you get it, if you want to see the SASR training then read, 'warrior training' by kieth fennell, he details the selction course (real training is classified) its alot more than 15 push ups and 48 sit ups lol
o god yes i worked it out of 1 batch there would be roughly enough to make 6 bags at the ammount they put in a bag
@shalidar96 Cheers brother, you say if you make it through the 3 weeks then they have to approve you, so does that mean the only way you drop out is by you own decision or medical problems? or can they say your not what we want piss off?
@australbanian Tobruk, Syria, Palestine, Britian (airwar), Malaya, Singapore (commando missions after its fall) Italy, Cold War, Fighting again in SE Asia against the indonesian SF, Vietnam, Leading the charge into east timor, the first UN boots on the ground, Countless APEC Security Details, Afganastan Recon/high risk patrols, Part of the charge into Iraq, thats where we were, just incase anyone wants references
singleton's a good place... liked it there
That dude at 2:07 sure looks like he trained hard for this day.
They re strongs and nices persons
@mokaraka95
i think it's ok because they're not operational (probably do the admin within the SF, are ex operatives)
you can't show the guys faces who are actually currently doing the SF operational tasks, or training for it
I know the answers to your SAS riddle question and I know what it takes to succeed... pitty I am am so unfit now haha...
Basically to be a good sas trooper you need to be a perfect example of a human being!
The RDJ 'used to be' designed to do blah blah. Now it's a "land in gravel after a half-arsed jump".
I still remember when the 6 foot pit had concrete edges. Back then, people jumped because breaking a shin wasn't "fun".
I get older, the world gets lazier.
Force Preservation
Considring how badass tough the Aust SAS are, this cant be all of it lol to get in :D Although the march at the end has to be pretty painful and probably fails out quite a few.
cool my other half likes that show did you watch brothers in arms the bikie wars?
>The weather conditions in Sweden are much more mentally and physically requiring than in Australia for example.
Yeah I mean it never gets hot in Australia or anything.
@Droppedclover Manly just off the main bridge nearing the intersection
@australbanian so what about the two new transport ships we are getting that could move our fighter-bombers to Albania. what are u going to use to shoot them down? ur own fighters?
@australbanian - someone needs a hug!
the Governor General, Major General Michael Jeffrey, described the 39th Battalion as some of "Australia's most gallant soldiers", stating that the Australian nation was indebted to them for "their heroic service".
not bad, Hopefully I have mine soon, WHat are you applying for?
Hahaha all of the parts in the video with the old world war 2 bunkers in the background and the officers talking about the training to the camera was filmed where i live(Newcastle) I recognise them =D
cheers buddy.
sweet..very inspiring vid..=)
Hey does any1 know the actual amounts of heaves and how many push ups are required in the entry test to be a Commando. And does it vary if ur doing part time instead of full time.
Like I've already said to spackhollogay, cold will kill in minutes, heat will kill in hours or maybe even days. I'm not saying that the SOG training is harder than the SASR. I'm saying that the conditions in Sweden are a lot harscher. Operating in sub-arctic conditions requires more of the group and individual than operating in heat.
Hah you think that just because there's over a meter of snow they wont go out? Swedish Parachute Rangers and Arctic Rangers constantly operate in -40 celsius.
ouch you on crutchs i gather how long before it heals?
