SAS

The SAS section is for reservists. However, to find qualified individuals, the army looks for the candidates who have already enlisted. Like the Special Boat Services of the Navy, a candidate either needs to have enlisted in the last 6 months or already is in the reserves to become a part of this special unit. Any male who is between 18 and 32 years of age without prior military service can become a part of the special unit. The age limit is up to 42 years for staying in the unit, but training and acceptance have to occur at 32 years or 34 years depending on military service.
Besides age, there are other requirements to fulfil. Volunteers into this unit need to be able to travel overseas for deployment, pass a fitness and commitment test. The SAS training is difficult as well as mentally demanding. The selection course occurs twice a year.
