Are women allowed to apply for SAS selection? I am thinking about applying to the TA with a view to getting into special forces/intelligence and wondered if anyone has any advice on whether women would be considered. Cheers, Kristina

This has been discussed often and NO, women are not considered to try for the SAS. Although in the future things might change as they often do.

Doubt it. They are not allowed in the infantry so they are not gonna let em in the SAS! They will never be stong enough to haul the amount of gear the infantry units have to carry.

Living on the edge there mate. I know its true (about 90% of men are stronger than 90% women) but men should never say this aloud. Its like signing the warrent for your own execution

I have to lift and carry round trays of sausage weighing at least 90lbs, whole pigs, whole lambs and various parts of cows. The forequarter of a cow rarely weighing less than 200lbs. Sure its hard graft and smelly but someones got to do it!!

Being a waitress at Lympstone must be wearing you down Loz, but if you have discovered your vocation, go for it!

Sorry Loz, it's that second glass of bloody freezing Chablis that did it, you know I'm not brave enough normally. Mwah

Are you not happy with doing the ironing? Have you read a Mac-KNobb one too many???

Unless youre already built like a brick shit house and are prepared to go for a full sex change - dont bother.

More seriously - the furthest you can get is the Det, and if you're vaguely noticeable or 'good looking' you will most likely be passed over on some excuse like your driving isn't good enough.....

Please, not another "you ain't seen me" but I live near where they come from. Is that the full authorised and accepted wisdom

How many thousand more are out there? ZS, I've heard some crap and seen it printed on here, but you have excelled where others simply faff about, what a load of bollocks. Back to your books, videos and pooter games.

El Prez - Thats fine mate -you obviously know everything about everything as 'der moderator'. In fact I'm sure you personally know lots of women who have tried out for the Det and failed?

I'm afraid I'm a realist - the fact is, women's roles and opportunities for promotion to the UK Special Forces are disparate to say the least - hence I was merely encouraging Kristina to keep her feet on the ground.

Ps I share my handle with a gaming enthusiast in Sutton Coldfield, but sadly I'm not much of a gamer my self, nor do I possess a video. Yes I do read books - but I'm more of a classical enthisiast that a McKnobbist.

Yours most sluttishly, and said without spitting once,
