You need to look that one up cos theres no exSAS here that I know off...
SFs of that level would have a selection programme and wouldnt let some one in without any operational experience IMO... Id say you would need some regular Army time in the BA before thinking about SAS Selection.... jrj is exBA so he would know more....

I honestly can say im not sure.....its something i never really looked into.....by all acounts the training is tough.....but being tough isnt enought to make it....99.99% need not apply....going for SAS selection straight after basic(if possible) is frankly pointless...expirence is key......where you thinking of applying after basic  ......the term walk before you run springs to mind.... theres no SAS on this sight (more then likley).....and even if there was we wouldnt know.....so if you were hoping to get a reply from someone with expirence....in the nicest way....dont hold your breath.....thats not what those guys are about.......they dont advertise themselves......theres a thread Exo did about operational security.....in the forces its called OPSEC......noone has stricker rules then the SAS.......they are the men......tip of the sword

jrj100, well done..Opsec/Persec applies.The enemy is out there. Great point on experience in training...It is key..Walk before you run..Lol..I'm an American soldier and only know about the SAS from my good friend Alan. (Southampton lad) Alan has said that The SAS is the tip of the sword. The training is something that needs to be done in good time and with that comes experience then he'll be ready for the next step or jump. Airborne. Get the experience and then give everything you got and go for it...

I heard of a guy who did the Irish Army equivalent to the British SAS Selection Course, and finished it. He was not accepted into Special Forces, and returned to unit due to lack of experience. He enquired about it at the time and was told to get at least 3 years experience and 1/2 overseas deployments. He was 2 yrs in the Army at the time. High standards are high standards... period!!!..
