Airbourne if you are a serving soldier you must have had there recruitment presentation?
They have always been there but now work globaly and have a cap badge.
Leah mates, the full screw who won £686k (court case for ****** descrimination) passed their selection back in early 2001.
Also allow me to direct you to a book called "the operator". Also one from some tit who only supported "The Rigger".

Here you can read some info about it

Arabic and other Middle East language skills are a top requirement for the recruits, allowing them to blend into Islamic societies on undercover operations...
Many of the soldiers in the fledgling unit are experienced undercover soldiers who have conducted successful operations in Northern Ireland.

key word - "undercover", so for few years we will only read about it in the news.

I thought the process of selection was that of similar UKSF units: 5yrs of service? Commando Course (optional but looks good) then the unit's selection process be it SBS , SRR or SAS. Ii though that with the SRR it was Recogntion, interpretation, Communications skills that they were looking for most.

Uh?

Not many maroon machines in the Regt been on the 'Commando Course' I'd imagine.

Britsig has SRR consumed 14 Int then? Or is it more like 14 Int recieving greater staffing levels and getting a badge?

14 Int did get rolled up didn't it? Was SRR the evolution?
