Royal Marine joining the SAS
Royal Marine joining the SAS
Would it be frowned upon for a Royal marine to request SAS selection rather than SBS selection?

Don't know mate, pretty sure someone round here can let you know. Are you currently serving?
I understand that both SAS and SBS do the same selection up to a point and then SBS do continuation selection and training after.

Re: Royal Marine joining the SAS
Basically yrs ago you could only go SBS in the Corps, not a lot of guys wanted to be SBS but still fancied SF so they would leave and go to Hereford. Usual reason was that they couldn't or didn't want to be divers, also at that time some SB guys would have to go back to the Corps for tours in Cdo units. Basically they wanted to be SF and stay SF.

Re: Royal Marine joining the SAS
that not the case any more is it, about going back to their unit? Bad luck for any RM who joined the SAS to avoid being divers if they were put into Boat Troop .
Arnt Signalers who join the SF have to join their old Unit after so long as they dont want their best signalers going off?

Guys who are now SF only go back to their old Units if they ask or if they are RTU'd. The SF sigs are either R. Sigs or RM Sigs and as such only do a tour before going back other Sigs Units. (Some do stay longer or move within SF).
