I`M OFF TOPIC
By making that statement you have shown a complete lack of knowledge of the subject, what`s the differences between the two, enlighten me, is the training any different, are the op`s any different any less work involved
any less risk,
I think that the answer is Yes to all of those questions.
They have longer to complete basic training, train only at weekends, have more time to complete the Long drag training, do less Jumps. The end of the selection is the first time many will do two week of training in one go, until their two weeks at Brize Norton.
As for risk all soldiers are at risk when on active duty, medic’s camp cooks, forklift drives. Whether the TA SAS are not up to much, that is rubbish, I work with a chap who explained that when he was on ‘exercise’ they had a group of TA SAS infiltrate their camp, and stick yellow stickers on everyone that they could have killed. Many people on guard had been picked.
He did mention by way of an aside, the Ghurkha who were on excises with them collected the stickers, and returned them, at night.
One thing I do know is that TA SAS are the only civilians allowed to join the Regular SAS (but only after three years of TA duty)
