    SBS Doco on the SAS: Search for Warriors

    Just watched a fabulous doco on SBS about the selection process for the Australian SAS. Those are some hard men.

    They said that you only get one chance to apply, so if you you bomb out there's no going back for a second try. Tears from the guys who didn't make it, and I don't blame them. They get flogged mercilessly.

    Lots of Defenders and Unimogs in there too.

    Will definintely be watching it next week.

    Cheers
    David

    Ohhhhh - I think 114 of the 140 that started the selection training course might disagree with you on that point....

    Did you see the program?

    Hey - that's cheating!!! You changed your post 180 degrees

    Anyway, I take my hat off to the blokes that even front up to give it a try. They are all tougher than I'll ever be.

    Having had the pleasure of working for these guys in Perth previously, hats of too em they are a fabulous unassuming bunch.
    Although this is a great recruitment tool for the government, I think it's great that these guys get a bit of a big up, as long as it's not at the expense of security .....no doubt they have some bloke from defence saying what not to film and obviously they would have editors veeto

    Yes warriors however I believe all the fellas who step into the line of fire are deserving of being called warriors.... Especially in this age of 'Blame'. Not only do they risk catching one on foreign shores but also one from the politicos back home...

    But Yes good TV... Some good fellas with strong mindset..
