Retired royal marine here and I can tell you that the UK has the toughest standards just to be chosen to go through selection. The sas and SBS have scouts looking out for the best from combat regiments just to get the chance to apply. Btw I meant including Australia and Canada with the UK... Sorry lads!
The SAS are WAAAAAAAAAAAY more brutal on their candidates than this. They have toned it down for the TV. They can't show the genuine realities of what they go through. The training is that brutal that people die quite regularly during it.
I can see why. Check out my blog article on it. They are going to get better and be a good compliment to my videos. jamesonstravels.com/aussie-sas-copy-of-the-brits-or-a-better-faster-model/. The training environment the Aussie have is second to none. Love it.
you should check out the jocko willink podcast 37 w/ vietnam navy seal vet roger hayden. Roger served in vietnam and talks in the podcast about how he spent one week with Australian sas in nam and he says he learnt more about reconnaissance in that one week than anywhere in his SF career
For those of you looking for more info on the Aussie SASR , they were called "Ma Rung" by the North Vietnamese which loosely translates into phantoms of the jungle.
Aussie and NZ were a big factor in Vietnam outside of the US troops. Worked with some Vietnam Vets who served with them and were impressed. One being a tunnel rate.
I assume that any "cool" nickname supposedly bestowed on a unit by the enemy is a fabrication until proven otherwise. "Devil Dogs" is almost certainly a myth, there's surprisingly little evidence for the "Rats of Tobruk", and this sounds like it's in the same category.
@@cygil1 I assume you're being cynical? Why bring that up on a video that most people (who admire the sasr) will watch and you belittle a well known saying as basically a "lie"?... what's up cygil? You alright mate?
@@lunaticfae4415 Wait, really? After watching this I was under the impression it was only an Aussie thing. We say it all the time and it just means having a go at something but if y'all are saying it too thats dope.
@@kezzakilla7171 Theres a reason they call ours the ANZACs mate, been in the shit together for a while ay. No place Aus been and done good without the help of the kiwis
So what? You punch above your weight, but your weight is so small your punches, while relatively effective, can't do anything to the real opponents out there. America, China, Russia - these are the real countries that can fuck someone's shit in. Aussies can't even invade broke-ass middle east nations without relying on the yanks for logistic support and impunity during transport.
My old man passed this course almost 50 years ago. the SAS are super secret, it took the TV show producers years of asking to get this show up and running. Unlike BUDS there no list of SAS out there, in fact its illegal for Australian media to report the name of an SAS active member, their identities are protected by law. That's why the younger active members have there face covered but here's the crazy bit about this show. If where seeing a applicant on the show its because they failed, all the footage of passing members was removed from the show or blurred out so we can see them. So, its a show about a competition to be accepted in the SAS but... we never see the winners, a TV first i believe.
But what about Andrew Hastie? he passes and you can see his face in there several times, there is a bit where he's the officer leading an exercise and they sow the seeds of discontent by telling another candidate they are now the leader. They get around it because they don't give their names and like you said focus on the ones who failed.
Michael a mate of mine is ex SASR and when the company did a standard police check because we sometimes work in areas that require it, it came back blank with a note to contact Department of Defence .
@@peterbuckley3877 Not sure who advised you of this Pete, but its not actually correct. Its similar to what someone else said few months ago about his brother. Nothing about operatives is different or viewed as being secret or goverenment related especially most of all, related to a defence force. As you know all information and data these days are stored on gov computers, if it was true, ok lets say theres a covert ops in China, an operative say Mr Smith was captured. What risk would be to the operative if the intel guys in China, hacked into their favourite government agency say Tax dept network and looked up his details and it said 'contact the defence force'...How much of a bonus would Mr Smith be to them now knowing he has defence and gov knowledge and access to additional intelligence info like towards other ops as an example...Im guessing they would be on the phone to their chinese operatives to go to Mr Smiths residence, where mrs Smith and kids were last heard went away on a holiday but nobody knows where...rather would be taken, held hostage and used against him as barganing tool to provide all intell he has...then they simply would be killed. Where rather Mr Smart has no association to the gov or defence, them now gathering intell to see that the person they caught is a nobody important, his info says hes a normal, no golden key person, lives alone, not married, no kids, (other words no barganing tools) who lets say says his background of working is that of working at a hardware store Bunnings for the last 20 years. I know I dont want my privates stating I have defence ties which is why on overseas 'holidays'..me and the crew fill out all details such as arriving documentation as fake address and employement is a salesman at BCF selling camping stuff and a landscape photographer (which is why have gps and laptop) and are in the country with our footy mates for end of year team getaway...If your an Aussie.. Im sure you get my drift 👍
The brave men of Australian military had helped us a lot in the past getting rid of commies in my country Malaysia. Along with the Brits and kiwis. Thank you for your service!! 🇦🇺🇲🇾
@@apacheslim it's not the people it's the dumb politicians. The ppl never liked anything to do with China. Damn mofos are even trying to invade everything from sea and land in Asia Pacific and South Asia.
Missing a gas-plug on a Steyr isn't a little thing. Without it, your automatic / semi-automatic rifle becomes a single action. I have never heard of someone forgetting their gas plug for an inspection. They must have had them under some serious pressure for that to happen.
The Steyr is just perfection via simplicity. We get three days of training in our boot camp before we're expected to be able to assemble, disassemble, load, unload and perform fault inspections on the thing perfectly, and generally you'll only get two or three recruits in the intake who will have to resit or get held back to the next division for it. And yeah, I agree, it's a small little fucking thing but fitting it is probably the most fiddly part of assembling the gun, missing out on it would be pretty noticeable.
To the best of my knowledge if you haven’t fitted the gas plug back in there is a chance when you go to discharge your weapon it can shoot off into the distance
I wish he said this, being a proud ex-Aussie paratrooper myself, however there's zero evidence to suggest he did say this and most historians believe it's a fabrication. Great quote though!
the Germans knew that when the New Zealanders were in the line there was about to be an attack, they were that aggressive. Kiwis when arriving to the front line were required to remove unit insignia and national emblems.
Part 2 champ, these guy's get screwed but some survive, meant to be one of if not the hardest courses to get through in the world, Australia is hot cold windy and wet, good on them, glad they protect me.
Doing a deep dive into the Australians. Check this out as well. More to come. jamesonstravels.com/aussie-sas-copy-of-the-brits-or-a-better-faster-model/
@Doug Doug yeah I know Canada's weather is pretty tormenting, I hate the 46 temps where I live but man, I love the the cold, not sure about -36 though. 🤟
Notice they're not being screamed at like the Yanks do..? Because there's nothing *ACTUALLY* scarier and more respect commanding than a clear, deliberate and stern voice telling you that you've failed..
Ive seen this program before, they dont scream at the start but towards the end when they really start pushing their physical and mental prowess the screaming comes... from what i remember
"Notice they're not being screamed at..." Yep. Willie Apiata (VC) makes the point in his book that the guys will either be good enough and determined enough to make it, or they won't. It's "up to them". In a nutshell, the US Marines drill instructors scream at recruits to give them a helping hand with motivation. The SAS leaves that to the recruits themselves. Cheers from a New Zealander to our great Aussie mates "across the ditch" (the Tasman Sea).
I know Candidate 42. He’s a great bloke and while he didn’t pass selection, considering he and I were watching a hockey game together 2 years before this happened and he was wearing a neck brace from a broken neck, the fact that he go as far as he did, is very impressive and as a serving digger, something i hold in very high esteem.
@@user-lf3wr8rh7r Lol...His bitch then, there fixed it for you, you bad assed bastard! I'm sooo sorry for auto "correct"...You sure sorted me out! Imagine this "bloke" during battle....In a whiney voice....Awww you spelt that wrong dude...FUCKIN bang....The sound of his own side shooting him in the head! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Now he'll dob me in to youtube! 🤣🤪🤣🤪🤣🤪🤣🤪
The problem is this: You and every Australian making comments here has failed to state that the Australian SAS is under investigation for serious war crimes right at this moment. Further to this, there is GoPro footage of Australian SAS troops letting an attack dog maul a civilian, and then an SAS soldier executes the civilian whilst he is laying on his back in a submissive stance. There are further serious allegations of executions, with the rules of engagement being verified by using the same radio equipment photographed next to multiple corpses. The same serial number can be seen on the portable radio in numerous evidence photographs provided by the SAS. An Australian SAS soldier who received the Victoria Cross, the equivalent to the US Medal Of Honor, is currently on trial and under investigation for multiple criminal offences, including an accusation he kicked a handcuffed civilian off a cliff and then shot the civilian whilst he lay prone at the bottom of the cliff. So for all the bogans on here going on about the proud heritage of the SAS, take a reality check about what has really been going on. If if you want to measure the success of the Australian military and the US military in Afghanistan, look at Kabul right now. It is a repeat of Vietnam 1975, we cut and run like cowards from our allies and left them to be slaughtered by our enemies, that is a fact.
@@carntrash9901 There were American soldiers in many wars that also commited war crimes. There are some very bad people in all armies that should not be there. However how many Americans were investigated and charged with these crimes? I did not see any. Vietnam , Iraq , Afganistan .....But I agree Aussie soldiers are rightfully being taken to account if they have done wrong.
When I was going through recruit course (boot camp) as a young guy many years ago, I'd had an absolute gut full of it and was ready to pull the pin. I asked to leave. I told the Platoon Commander I was giving up and ready to go. He told me I could go but the bus wasn't coming in today and that I should check with him every day if I still wanted to go. After a while of just one day at a time I found myself through the course and marching off of the parade ground at the end of the boot camp. First thing I did was thank the Platoon Commander. He said there was no bus, you could have gone home and quit but I knew you had what it took and was going to get through. I finished up doing almost 11 years before discharging.
This Jameson video thread has just descended into complete chaos. As soon as I saw the title I deflated and thought "here we go". We Australians are QUIET achievers, we don't chest thump or fist bump. We don't talk a bunch of bullshit unless it's well deserved and above all, we don't make ourselves out to be something we aren't. I'm a Sydneysider and I relocated to the US in 2003. I have lived as a guest (legally) in the United States now for 17 years. My job has me on the road upwards of 8 months a year and I have worked in every state outside of Vermont, North Dakota and Wyoming. I'm here to tell you the Yanks have a GREAT fondness of Australians. I have visited countless dive bars, pubs, venues, restaurants you name it over the years and not ONE person has ever had anything bad to say about Aussies. I have been warmly welcomed into my American workmates homes for dinner with their families.They respect us because we, like them are free spirits that are independently minded and abide by democratic principles. They RESPECT us because we stand shoulder to shoulder with them, for good or bad in times of war. That's a BIG deal to the everyday American and something that must be cherished, for if Australia is ever threatened (God forbid) you can bet your ass the Yanks will park two Carrier battle groups in the Coral Sea and pump Marines by their thousands into Queensland. Do not forget their terrible sacrifice in the Pacific war, the Yanks play for keeps and they have long memories... peace.

Interesting fact, one of the DS Sergeants there is Troy Simmonds, he went through a ferocious firefight in Afghanistan with US SF in September 2008 when they were attacked by a Taliiban force of over 300. He was shot twice and still has a bullet lodged in his hip. Mark Donaldson, another SASR trooper was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions during the battle.
Know 2 lads in the SASR and they are both machines in their fitness and calmness - both great blokes who never talk about what they do or where they go. Respect to all our Australian military and thank you for keeping this country safe along with our allies across the globe.
Tonto Bb no he wasn’t referring to drugs he was referring to cracks as in weakness, kenniix was explaining the Australia slang bc the guy that was reacting to it thought he meant cracks as in weakness.
Being British but having served in the Australian Army, I have a few mates who did selection and got in. This doco shows it being tough but it does not show the full extent of selection, far more arduous than the doco portrays. You can have the fittest blokes attend but at the end of the day its the mind that gets them through and the desire to want the sandy beret. Used to be only line troops or infantry that could apply but now open to all corps. Also note its not about yelling and screaming and beasting someone, the DS just observe quietly. In terms of how do OZ SAS stack up against UK, very very well..have a reputation second to none.
@@ehtnayiasecnirp9413 I didn't think you would reply, since your post was two years ago. Your old man must have some crazy stories, have you went down the military route yourself?
@@INTJ82 My old man hasn't shared any crazy stories even of when he was over in Afghanistan. I've asked questions but he doesn't give much lol. I didn't go down the same track as him, was going to but went another way, wish I did but.
You should watch the "how to become an Australian commando", which is another special forces selection course. As well as the vice interview of Sgt Paul Cale, titled, "the killer commando"
I like that how in the UK and Australian SAS selection course how that the instructor, or DS dont say whether a candidate is doing good or bad, that way its all up to the individual to push themselves to the limit that they think is required. Its like on the UK SAS course during the fan dance stage of selection how that the candidates aren't even told at what pace they are to do in order to complete the course they just have to keep on pushing. And that must make it so hard coz its all up to you as you dont have anyone shouting or moving you forward, just you own mind
We called it ‘silent running’. It’s a mental game to throw them off a bit and so candidates will always put in 110% and not get complacent (which they might do if they think they’re doing well). (I’m ex Aussie SF incl. some years at the Special Forces Training Centre & I’ve been behind the scenes on a few of these, mainly the Commando side of things).
I think you will find, if you talked to the Psychologist, it is not about keeping them guessing so they put in 110%, it is to fuck with their minds. They don't want the guys who are second guessing themselves and ruminating about past possible failures. They are looking for guys that are confident and have the mental strength to not waste time worrying about was is already done. Guys that constantly worry about how they are doing can get themselves into a hole mentally to the point where they give up.
I know us Brits, the Aussies and the New Zealanders have a long history of rivalry (Particularly in sport), but we've always held their military in the highest regard. Their bravery and sacrifice at Gallipoli and Western Front in WW1 will never be forgotten here..... But the Ashes are ours lol

I served in the ADF for the better part of thirty years in navy and had my uncle serve in the Australian SASR for more than 30 years, some of his time while I was also serving. He served in Vietnam as a soldier first then back as SASR. Was very proud of my service in Navy, but even more so of my uncle serving as an elite soldier. Chewed some of the same ground as he did at the same campaign and have nothing but the utmost respect for him, and his men who also served with him. Had a long and very successful career and then left to start a business doing tours of the Papuan Kokoda battlefields for civilians. Unfortunately at the age of 68 he has developed early onset dementia and is a shell of his former self. An unbelievably fit and focussed person and now nearly unrecognisable mentally. So damn sad he put some very hard years in and ends up struggling as a person and just a cruel blow for someone who had the utmost respect for his peers as did they of him. Respect doesn’t even come close to describing his persona and presence...so much so he was given the Knick name of Minnie Mouse as his presence just demanded nothing but respect and was the most precious person as an individual who would do anything to help you and always has a smile on his face. Respect to serving and retired SASR brothers where and whoever they are.
Hey mate, is there a way I can contact you? I'm just a young boy with massive interest in the ADF, with every intention of joining, I'd just like to ask you some questions. Cheers.
Hey mate, I hope you're going well. Dementia is a terrible thing, i'm sorry to hear such a great man fell victim to it. They say every man alive will either experience it, or know someone close to them who will experience it at some point in their lives.
After watching this I felt like I could finally relate to someone after what I had been through. One night I bought 2 packets of TimTams and intended on eating both packets. Midway through the second packet I knew I was out of my depths, I knew I was about to hit a physical and mental wall and I felt a sense of doom and failure creeping up on me. Halfway through the second packet, I think I was 6 biscuits in, my stomach bloated, my mind urging me to push on, my every physical fibre screaming not to stop all got to much and I stopped. At this stage i was on all fours in my lounge room, beaten like a $28 greyhound at the Dapto dogs. The flashbacks today are horrific as through it happened yesterday. When I go into a supermarket and get near the biscuit isle, I get sweaty hands, my anxiety raises, I get a twitchy nose and crawl past the isle. I have been diagnosed with PTBS (post traumatic biscuit syndrome) by a clinical psychologist and have recently eaten half a packet of chocolate Teddybear biscuits but had major flashbacks to the night in my lounge.
I finished BUDS and re-fueled with 3 x 365g family packs of Tim Tams imported directly from Brisbane, Australia. Over 1kg of Tim Tams in one sitting. Hooyah!
Politican Andrew Hastie is candidate 10 on this course. In the full documentary you can see him when they pan out all of the candidate photos, slightly right from the centre in a dark blue collared shirt. Looking forward to part 2
Hastie is my MP, I work in banking and know some top libs and he is what they have called a high potential, a chance to acheive very high levels of gov.
I remember back in the mid 90's we were participating in a CSAR multi national co-op training, that involved our US pilot's SERE training out in Alaska, called 'Cope Thunder." And the SAS from Australia or GB were involved. Respect was earned and given during this time. By the end of our training, we collectively drank the local pub dry!
Yes part 2. This is just the pre selection course. After this, as you said, they go on to their specialist training. Tbh, the regiment never stops training. They also do a lot of cross training (when not on deployment) with the other SAS regiments of the world, those betting N.Z. U.K. and South Africa. They are without a doubt some of the finest trained military assets in the world. Oh an fyi for you... the 'PT' guy as you said is what we call a PTI = physical training instructor. These are the ones that train and get projective recruits trough basic training. Similar to your drill sergeants I guess. So that's why the interviewing C.O's were ripping into him ;) I've watched a few of your vids now. Good job. Good to see you're covering the rest of the world's forces and not just American. Anyways, interested to see your opinion and keeping it real. Also glad to see our "chicken stranglers" (SASR) represented. ;) definitely watch the rest of the docco. Also check out our Commando's. Out.
At 9:00 the 15 warriors the DS was referring to was 15 members of the SASR and 3 from the AA Avn who lost their lives when 2 Blackhawks collided on an Ex near Townsville in 1996.
When the DS mentions ‘the 15 warriors stripped from the Regiment’, he is referring to an accident involving two Blackhawks which collided whilst conducting Counter Terrorism training at night. The accident occurred in June 1996.
Here is what he said and I quote “15 warriors who were at their peak, stripped from this Regiment like that (clicks fingers). 15 is the number we’re going to work with tonight.” He is not talking about making 15 soldiers quit. DS never tell candidates they are going to get them to do something that will make them quit. The decision to quit and the number who do rests solely with the candidates. 15 refers to the activity and the repetitions that will be carried out.
ARE not WERE. Maybe it's the Aussie accent. Im an aussie so it sounds clear as day to me. Why would he be talking about an American marine/delta operation? Tell me exactly which "regiment" lost 15 guys in Mogadishu? I'll wait.
I have no idea why you’ve introduced American forces and in particular Mogadishu. I’ll say it again. He is referring to 15 SAS soldiers who were killed in June 1996 in an accident involving two Blackhawk helicopters. ARE is present plural whilst WERE is past plural. As the crash occurred in the past, the SAS soldiers WERE killed.
I found the young man at the end really interesting. I also had problems where I had reached my early 20's and was both immature and arrogant. I lost of couple of years of my early career because I needed time to fix that problem. In truth, the reason was because I didn't have many good influences in my life to look to and admire up to that point. Plenty of young men in their early to mid 20's need to start again. In fact, at the start of this there was a man in his mid 30's who needed to start again. Its okay to do that.
check out. my new blog on this as well. Its going to have my thoughts less censored and raw. new videos comments and good stuff the practical minded. jamesonstravels.com/aussie-sas-copy-of-the-brits-or-a-better-faster-model/
Couple of unique aspects to their training there. Good on them. Aus/Can/NZ/US/UK are a formidable force together, will always be on the same side. Part 2 should be good.
Part 2 please. Thanks for looking at the Australian Military and the SAS. And what I like about all your international videos is that you are saying, "Soldiers are Soldiers", regardless of Nationality.
Soldiers are soldiers! U agree - brothers in arms and have a respect for all soldiers who diligently, and honorably serve their country to the best of their ability, not matter which country. From a retired Aussie Armoured Corps soldier.
I remember watching the whole documentary and had to constantly remind myself that what I'm seeing is the 3 week selection process in order to get an invite for the official SAS training which kept blowing my mind. There is also a documentary about the NZSAS which is also very cool and along the same lines. Do go-ahead for Part 2 man
Puts it in perspective dosn't it?. Thats just the tryouts for selection to train. Its not an acceptance into the regiment. lol. Most of the guys are under 6 ft. lean wiry little buggers that dont know how to give up.
Yip, in NZ cycle is alot harder than selection and lasts for months not weeks. Selection is literally just the first step and the wake up call, cycle being the true test.
I have known personally half a dozen ex aussie SAS, including two of their commanding officers. They are unique. There was an instance in Afghanistan where resupply to a remote location was need, and all the "troops" were out on missions. The CO (a Major General - ie. 2 star) took the convoy of predominantly captains and Majors to complete the task. I know of another (ex-Major) who ran a fundraising hike that crossed 1600kms of outback OZ in 33 days
Part 2 would be awesome! And if you want to see more on the Aussie SF, check out the 2nd Commando Regiment. The SASR are described as the scalpel, whilst 2 CDO are the hammer.
i did SASR selection in 2015 (generally most infantry here will attempt it at some point) this one is out of date its more varied now i remember i had to sit in a tree motionless for 3 days gathering intelligence on a notional enemy camp (i pulled out because it sunk in i would not see my family for up to 48 months and i had a sick relative) any way you need to know everything about both SAS and Commandos so hopefully i can explain the specialization thing also couple of things 1. yes they are experienced 2. they generally want you to have two or more tours on your belt 3. having done recon course is preferred (Australia is modular its real different to how the US army/USMC works) generally people specializing in certain fields like armaments linguists intelligence etc do separate courses or are given supporting roles if request for transfer is approved based on prior qualifications or experience they don't need to do selection because they are not true SAS they are SF support they can request to do so at a later time and depending how long they were in the regiment for they will be offered a guaranteed spot if they can just complete the selection course (there's no fuck fuck mind tricks just do the course and you're in) these guys are the ones who will be boots on the ground fucking cunts up they do learn languages they will go to a school specifically for language and get smashed over 6 months and become fluent ps: the gas plug is what makes the AUG cycle without it the weapon basically turns into a bolt action however the gas plugs get lost a lot they're kind of hard to put on and take off and can go flying off if the weapon is fired and its not attached properly
As I've previously mentioned, in 1975, I was a digger in 8/9RAR. Two of my mates tried out for the SAS Selection Course - both were in the battalion boxing team. The were RTU'd within a fortnight. The SAS usually took only 2 or 3 out of 25+ who started the course. The sweetener was the highest pay level.
Good lad. Remember this, serving in the armed forces is not a career, it is a life style. It is not for everyone. You will figure this out. Try to get into a corps which gives training useful for post army career. from a retired Aussie Armoured Corps soldier. If you are going for SASR, try to get into a special forces unit of some type for the best pretraining for the selection course, and learn and train navigation skills. Very handy.
Go part 2. Good leaders/trainers is what makes a good soldier. I was 1 year(training) at the Russian border in Norway(-40c, no sunlight 6 months). We dident get normal officers, we got top shelf 10-15 year combat veterans who had a break, and trained a troop for the fun of it. They told uss first day we had to do 30% more, and have 3 houer longer days than all the other troops. We had to eat last, pick all the empty cartridge for the entire base, carry 40 kg instead of 20 kg on 40 km marches and so on. We hated them at first but started to se we dident lose any marches or training/combat exersices aganst the entire region. On the end march 60 km (no gear this time) all 50 of uss met ready at 06.00 with full combat gear and 20 kg sand in the backpack. I never saw my captain show any feelings, but that morning i almost saw a tear.
I’m Australian and ex-military and really appreciate your commentary. Really interesting. Looking forward to watching part 2 and your other videos. Did military exercises with US Marines. Great guys. Now in my civilian job I work with ex US Marines who have had deployments here and then come back to live and work here as civilians after they had finished with the Marines.
Yeah it's similar to your hell week or buds if you pass that you go to do all specialised training where have to qualify your times. Even in selection you have to make certain times you get two attempts if you don't pass your pulled
Also check out The Battle of Long Tan documentary on RUclips. Has the original guys in it and probably the best and intense military documentaries I have seen.
Is the injury permanent? If not, and SASR liked what they saw whilst you were on the course, try again. Perseverance is one of the qualities they look for.
Oh yeah ,Part 2, I'm Australian and I've always wondered how does Australian special forces training stack up against the other say S.E.A.L.. unit etc.
Being an Aussie, I'd say the SASR is the best by a country mile. Anyway taking off my home team hat and talking like a proper adult, the SASR are obviously on the top shelf with various other elite units such as Delta Force, SEALS, SAS and so on. Who is best? The SASR does amphibious ops but SEALS have some special skills there etc. I think what you would find is they are all top line men in highly disciplined units.

All special forces are amazing and its a bit silly to be arguing about who's the best. Theres a good documentary about nz sas selection, quite a few episodes of it and it really good. I think all sas regiments from whichever country are absolutely awesome.

@@HJZ75driver you understand that there’s a distinct physical difference between males and females, arising from genetics, right? The simple fact is that females cannot withstand the strain a male can. That’s got nothing to do with equality or sexism, it’s just a fact proven by science.🤷♂️
Exactly. You'd get one shot from the rifle and have to recycle the action by hand after every shot, not to mention the piston will fall out without the gas plug locked in.
Yup. Controls the recirc power and process. Back when I did boot camp in Kapooka in 96 they were always checking the plug, because inside it was a key place to find missed carbon!
@@markdonnelly1913 he might have only put it together recently. The spring and pistol don't fall out heaps easily so I'd say probably still in there if it was put together not long before inspection
Would love to see a part 2 mate, I don't have any military experience, had a Grandfather who was in the Army, was a Mortar Platoon Sergeant, was in for 18 years, attained the rank of WO2, he was in reserves, I've learned a lot of his experiences in the military, apart from movies, my grandfather is the main reason I want to join the Army.
@@Wicksy223 Low job prospects after career. Security maybe. infantry is security for the most part. More cold wet hungry frustrated than other roles apart from Engineers. They get smashed. However Engineers have many more prospects after a short career. Just the initial contract will open up doors into middle management roles in Civil Engineering, Mining etc. Just giving you the good oil. Just something to consider. If you are a sporty type, outdoors adventure minded, reasonably fit without being a machine, it may be for you. Get quite fit before any recruit training and you will piss it in.

Yes part 2 aswell, love your reactions regarding military videos coming from the perspective of a marine, its interesting seeing different perspectives from different units around the world. Could you also react to the NZSAS documentary aswell?
@Stug 3 117 easy big fella. I'm an Aussie myself and the guy who posted the video was a US Marine. He might take umbrage at being mistaken for Army. I'm not a soldier, so I'm not fit to compare the two.
@I_360_No_scoped_JFK 100% smack on the mark there mate. Always amazes me when people freak out and think if you visit Aus ur gonna die horribly in the mouth of 1 of our native critters. Im almost 60 , lived most of my life in the country, Havnt even been killed once yet. Nothing bar a pack of feral dogs will hunt humans here .Even dingos are more likely to disappear at first sight. Dont get me wrong, the small shit can still kill ya, but theyre generaly accidental encounters. Jeez, probly the most lethal things in this country are the shielas. Pissed off ex wives and girlfriends.
Yeah it’s evolved a bit since back in the day haha, part 2 mate, I like the way you think during these videos, can’t say I’ve ever disagreed with any of your comments.
09:10 I'm pretty sure the "15 stripped from the Regiment" and the number to what they will work with, refers to the 15 SAS Troopers killed in black hawks colliding on night manoeuvres with only NVG's as their visual aid, and in close formation. 1996 in Townsville, Queensland, Australia.
Recruit 47 - I went to Army Cadet's with him in Perth when we were teenagers. I've not seen him for years and I can't recall if he made it through selection but he is one hell of an operator from what I heard about him even in Regular Army. So many memories watching this show. I was born in Perth but live now in Melbourne, I was lucky enough Pre Sep. 11 2001 as a cadet we spent a lot of time at the Bindoo training camps in the mock city which was nicknames SAS City . We would abseil off the embassy and towers and when I did a gap year with the 16th Batalion I was super fortunate to play enemy party on an embassy attack. Crawling through underground tunnels at 02:00 sneaking up on grown-ass men when i was 17 years old was one of the most exciting experiences. To then here " contact " and the flare's shoot up and light the place up like day light with F88 and Minimi cracking load AF! Good times!!! Great video and thank you to all my friends who have served for this great land of ours Australia and thank you to all the men and women that serve! ------ "who dares wins"
The problem is this: You and every Australian making comments here has failed to state that the Australian SAS is under investigation for serious war crimes right at this moment. Further to this, there is GoPro footage of Australian SAS troops letting an attack dog maul a civilian, and then an SAS soldier executes the civilian whilst he is laying on his back in a submissive stance. There are further serious allegations of executions, with the rules of engagement being verified by using the same radio equipment photographed next to multiple corpses. The same serial number can be seen on the portable radio in numerous evidence photographs provided by the SAS. An Australian SAS soldier who received the Victoria Cross, the equivalent to the US Medal Of Honor, is currently on trial and under investigation for multiple criminal offences, including an accusation he kicked a handcuffed civilian off a cliff and then shot the civilian whilst he lay prone at the bottom of the cliff. So for all the bogans on here going on about the proud heritage of the SAS, take a reality check about what has really been going on. If if you want to measure the success of the Australian military and the US military in Afghanistan, look at Kabul right now. It is a repeat of Vietnam 1975, we cut and run like cowards from our allies and left them to be slaughtered by our enemies, that is a fact.
@@carntrash9901 so you want to measure the success from one incident, interesting. I think the alleged Crimes committed by a very small minority of regiment men are disgusting, but why bring this into my comment and the several other comments you have copied and pasted your response too? Clearly you’re passionate, frustrated and angry about this accusations and rightfully so but writing this one comments such as mine bare little to no relevance on the fact their are thousands of good men and women who sacrifice so much to protect our country. Further more their is a very proud heritage in the regiment like all of our ADF, how can we allow a minorities actions take away all the good of the majority. Please don’t name call or say bogan you do not know me. You know nothing about me so take your anger and frustration and use it for good - instead of dropping comments like this all over RUclips
@@camcamwatt It was not one incident. And what success? The SAS has shamed the Australian military, they are a disgrace., not a success. It was known throughout what was going on overseas, and it has been covered up. Don't glorify a segment of the military that has been busted murdering innocent civilians.
@@carntrash9901 hey dumbfuck this guy is just making a statement on the candidate. He isn’t obligated to talk about the war crimes investigation. By the way, that was done by about 20 operators. That makes up 3% of SOTG. What about the other 97% whose innocent. Keep making smart remarks on the internet which are meaningless.
@@rp4712 coming from an obviously talented rocket surgeon such as yourself, I find it interesting that you like to quote figures and work out percentages, yet you still defend a system that encouraged murder of innocent people. The 3% you point out is the 3% of those WHO GOT CAUGHT. The rest was hidden and covered up and the whistle blowers were persecuted instead of the murderers committing the crimes. Seems like a common theme such as when Julian Assange leaked footage of war crimes, and look where that got him. Again and again, people like you defend this toxic military culture within special forces that ALWAYS includes the murder of innocent civilians that is covered up. Children machine gunned in their beds at night, farmers executed whilst lying prone on their backs. That is the true legacy of Australian Special Forces. FACT!
The Australian were some of the most effective soldiers in the world wars John monash a Australian general form ww1 hoped shape modern warfare all arms tactics.
Exactly right. And because he had some Jewish blood in his ancestry, there was a campaign run against him by a certain media person and although his name lives on with University, Freeway etc, not many young Australians know who he was or what he did.
Monash wrote a book in the 1920s which was replublished recently. 'Australian Victories in France in 1918'. Should be required reading for all Aussie soldiers, especially officers. Surprising stuff in the book such as during the Battle of Hamel, he had organised for aerial resupply of ammo for Vickers gunners during the battle! Running low on ammo?, the gunners would roll out two pieces of canvas in a big V. Pilots circling above, saw the V and would parachute more ammo to them!
Our system serves several purposes well I feel. Cheap parts, tested, easy of operators to fix and use, flexibility in platform. Complex is never good for GIs. Hell I am an AK fan for average Joe grunt. They just go bang.
Typically people in SF groups have an arsenal they can choose from, so they have a variety of choices once in their SF unit. I believe it's like the British SAS (the father of all) where they can pick whatever suits them as an individual. Wouldn't surprise me considering they're all beasts and get trained on most weapon systems 😂
Steyr AUG F88 is ADF standard issue rifle. It’s issued to Army, Navy and Airforce. The only exclusion is SF, such like SASR and Commando Company. It’s a great bullpup rifle. I use to hate the look of it, but eventually it grown on me to love it. I’d carried that rifle for over 20 years. Very robust, accurate and lightweight. You can’t ask more in a rifle like that.

Hey mate, "having a crack" is aussie slang for having a going or trying,
Not having a crack in ones self
21day selection period.
Retired royal marine here and I can tell you that the UK has the toughest standards just to be chosen to go through selection. The sas and SBS have scouts looking out for the best from combat regiments just to get the chance to apply. Btw I meant including Australia and Canada with the UK... Sorry lads!
The SAS are WAAAAAAAAAAAY more brutal on their candidates than this. They have toned it down for the TV. They can't show the genuine realities of what they go through. The training is that brutal that people die quite regularly during it.
Thank you!
Vietcong called them “Ghosts of the jungle” during the Vietnam war. They were afraid of the Australians. New Zealand SAS is pretty badass too.
I can see why. Check out my blog article on it. They are going to get better and be a good compliment to my videos. jamesonstravels.com/aussie-sas-copy-of-the-brits-or-a-better-faster-model/. The training environment the Aussie have is second to none. Love it.

you should check out the jocko willink podcast 37 w/ vietnam navy seal vet roger hayden. Roger served in vietnam and talks in the podcast about how he spent one week with Australian sas in nam and he says he learnt more about reconnaissance in that one week than anywhere in his SF career
@@JamesonsTravels thanks for that I found that very interesting a follow on would be absolutely welcomed, part 2 for sure respect from Ireland
For those of you looking for more info on the Aussie SASR , they were called "Ma Rung" by the North Vietnamese which loosely translates into phantoms of the jungle.
Aussie and NZ were a big factor in Vietnam outside of the US troops. Worked with some Vietnam Vets who served with them and were impressed. One being a tunnel rate.
@@JamesonsTravels Cheers mate.
I assume that any "cool" nickname supposedly bestowed on a unit by the enemy is a fabrication until proven otherwise. "Devil Dogs" is almost certainly a myth, there's surprisingly little evidence for the "Rats of Tobruk", and this sounds like it's in the same category.
@@cygil1 I assume you're being cynical? Why bring that up on a video that most people (who admire the sasr) will watch and you belittle a well known saying as basically a "lie"?... what's up cygil? You alright mate?

@@tubular7752 The more you know.

So what? You punch above your weight, but your weight is so small your punches, while relatively effective, can't do anything to the real opponents out there. America, China, Russia - these are the real countries that can fuck someone's shit in. Aussies can't even invade broke-ass middle east nations without relying on the yanks for logistic support and impunity during transport.
Everyone does. That's not what makes us special.
My old man passed this course almost 50 years ago. the SAS are super secret, it took the TV show producers years of asking to get this show up and running. Unlike BUDS there no list of SAS out there, in fact its illegal for Australian media to report the name of an SAS active member, their identities are protected by law. That's why the younger active members have there face covered but here's the crazy bit about this show. If where seeing a applicant on the show its because they failed, all the footage of passing members was removed from the show or blurred out so we can see them. So, its a show about a competition to be accepted in the SAS but... we never see the winners, a TV first i believe.
But what about Andrew Hastie? he passes and you can see his face in there several times, there is a bit where he's the officer leading an exercise and they sow the seeds of discontent by telling another candidate they are now the leader. They get around it because they don't give their names and like you said focus on the ones who failed.
Michael a mate of mine is ex SASR and when the company did a standard police check because we sometimes work in areas that require it, it came back blank with a note to contact Department of Defence .
It's because Hasties identity within the regiment had already been revealed at the time this video was released.
I agree, but you should add "SPOILER ALERT" to the start of your post
@@peterbuckley3877 Not sure who advised you of this Pete, but its not actually correct. Its similar to what someone else said few months ago about his brother. Nothing about operatives is different or viewed as being secret or goverenment related especially most of all, related to a defence force. As you know all information and data these days are stored on gov computers, if it was true, ok lets say theres a covert ops in China, an operative say Mr Smith was captured. What risk would be to the operative if the intel guys in China, hacked into their favourite government agency say Tax dept network and looked up his details and it said 'contact the defence force'...How much of a bonus would Mr Smith be to them now knowing he has defence and gov knowledge and access to additional intelligence info like towards other ops as an example...Im guessing they would be on the phone to their chinese operatives to go to Mr Smiths residence, where mrs Smith and kids were last heard went away on a holiday but nobody knows where...rather would be taken, held hostage and used against him as barganing tool to provide all intell he has...then they simply would be killed.
Where rather Mr Smart has no association to the gov or defence, them now gathering intell to see that the person they caught is a nobody important, his info says hes a normal, no golden key person, lives alone, not married, no kids, (other words no barganing tools) who lets say says his background of working is that of working at a hardware store Bunnings for the last 20 years. I know I dont want my privates stating I have defence ties which is why on overseas 'holidays'..me and the crew fill out all details such as arriving documentation as fake address and employement is a salesman at BCF selling camping stuff and a landscape photographer (which is why have gps and laptop) and are in the country with our footy mates for end of year team getaway...If your an Aussie.. Im sure you get my drift 👍
He said "having a crack".. means having a go, Not cracking up or finding a crack.

Having a go can also be abusing someone like, "Stop havvin a fukkin go at me, mate!" :)

Missing a gas-plug on a Steyr isn't a little thing. Without it, your automatic / semi-automatic rifle becomes a single action. I have never heard of someone forgetting their gas plug for an inspection. They must have had them under some serious pressure for that to happen.
The Steyr is just perfection via simplicity. We get three days of training in our boot camp before we're expected to be able to assemble, disassemble, load, unload and perform fault inspections on the thing perfectly, and generally you'll only get two or three recruits in the intake who will have to resit or get held back to the next division for it.
And yeah, I agree, it's a small little fucking thing but fitting it is probably the most fiddly part of assembling the gun, missing out on it would be pretty noticeable.
@@Anticlimaxers Don't let your section commander catch you calling them 'guns'....
@@natk9313 😄 you're not wrong there, but recruit instructers didn't seem to care though
To the best of my knowledge if you haven’t fitted the gas plug back in there is a chance when you go to discharge your weapon it can shoot off into the distance
Could have also been just for "TV"?
Rommel said "If I had to take hell, I'd use the Australians to take it and the New Zealanders to hold it.
we always punch above our weight hey.
He actually said if he had 2 divisions of anzacs he could win the war
I wish he said this, being a proud ex-Aussie paratrooper myself, however there's zero evidence to suggest he did say this and most historians believe it's a fabrication. Great quote though!
the Germans knew that when the New Zealanders were in the line there was about to be an attack, they were that aggressive. Kiwis when arriving to the front line were required to remove unit insignia and national emblems.
The Desert Rats had a lot of respect for Herr General.

@@incamoran9532 Totally agree.. And this is why I'm always shaking my head at footage of US Navy Seal recruits being screamed at..
Ive seen this program before, they dont scream at the start but towards the end when they really start pushing their physical and mental prowess the screaming comes... from what i remember
@@HazzCraft The screaming is only part of the mental breakdown phase at the end.. They don't scream instructions like the Yanks..
"Notice they're not being screamed at..."
Yep. Willie Apiata (VC) makes the point in his book that the guys will either be good enough and determined enough to make it, or they won't. It's "up to them".
In a nutshell, the US Marines drill instructors scream at recruits to give them a helping hand with motivation. The SAS leaves that to the recruits themselves.

When I was going through recruit course (boot camp) as a young guy many years ago, I'd had an absolute gut full of it and was ready to pull the pin. I asked to leave. I told the Platoon Commander I was giving up and ready to go. He told me I could go but the bus wasn't coming in today and that I should check with him every day if I still wanted to go. After a while of just one day at a time I found myself through the course and marching off of the parade ground at the end of the boot camp. First thing I did was thank the Platoon Commander. He said there was no bus, you could have gone home and quit but I knew you had what it took and was going to get through. I finished up doing almost 11 years before discharging.

This Jameson video thread has just descended into complete chaos. As soon as I saw the title I deflated and thought "here we go". We Australians are QUIET achievers, we don't chest thump or fist bump. We don't talk a bunch of bullshit unless it's well deserved and above all, we don't make ourselves out to be something we aren't. I'm a Sydneysider and I relocated to the US in 2003. I have lived as a guest (legally) in the United States now for 17 years. My job has me on the road upwards of 8 months a year and I have worked in every state outside of Vermont, North Dakota and Wyoming. I'm here to tell you the Yanks have a GREAT fondness of Australians. I have visited countless dive bars, pubs, venues, restaurants you name it over the years and not ONE person has ever had anything bad to say about Aussies. I have been warmly welcomed into my American workmates homes for dinner with their families.They respect us because we, like them are free spirits that are independently minded and abide by democratic principles. They RESPECT us because we stand shoulder to shoulder with them, for good or bad in times of war. That's a BIG deal to the everyday American and something that must be cherished, for if Australia is ever threatened (God forbid) you can bet your ass the Yanks will park two Carrier battle groups in the Coral Sea and pump Marines by their thousands into Queensland. Do not forget their terrible sacrifice in the Pacific war, the Yanks play for keeps and they have long memories... peace.

Interesting fact, one of the DS Sergeants there is Troy Simmonds, he went through a ferocious firefight in Afghanistan with US SF in September 2008 when they were attacked by a Taliiban force of over 300. He was shot twice and still has a bullet lodged in his hip. Mark Donaldson, another SASR trooper was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions during the battle.

Nothing to do with drugs folks

Tonto Bb no he wasn’t referring to drugs he was referring to cracks as in weakness, kenniix was explaining the Australia slang bc the guy that was reacting to it thought he meant cracks as in weakness.
not to be confused with cracking a fat...
Being British but having served in the Australian Army, I have a few mates who did selection and got in. This doco shows it being tough but it does not show the full extent of selection, far more arduous than the doco portrays. You can have the fittest blokes attend but at the end of the day its the mind that gets them through and the desire to want the sandy beret. Used to be only line troops or infantry that could apply but now open to all corps. Also note its not about yelling and screaming and beasting someone, the DS just observe quietly. In terms of how do OZ SAS stack up against UK, very very well..have a reputation second to none.

You should watch the "how to become an Australian commando", which is another special forces selection course. As well as the vice interview of Sgt Paul Cale, titled, "the killer commando"
Cale is an absolute badass, from what I've heard he's been working with both the US and British SF running training courses.
That video's a bit of a long one, but it's a good one.
SAS>Commando
RedmistAU other way around mate
The commando course is insane there keeper up for 3 days no food just training for 72 hours straight and that's just selection
I like that how in the UK and Australian SAS selection course how that the instructor, or DS dont say whether a candidate is doing good or bad, that way its all up to the individual to push themselves to the limit that they think is required. Its like on the UK SAS course during the fan dance stage of selection how that the candidates aren't even told at what pace they are to do in order to complete the course they just have to keep on pushing. And that must make it so hard coz its all up to you as you dont have anyone shouting or moving you forward, just you own mind
We called it ‘silent running’. It’s a mental game to throw them off a bit and so candidates will always put in 110% and not get complacent (which they might do if they think they’re doing well). (I’m ex Aussie SF incl. some years at the Special Forces Training Centre & I’ve been behind the scenes on a few of these, mainly the Commando side of things).
I think you will find, if you talked to the Psychologist, it is not about keeping them guessing so they put in 110%, it is to fuck with their minds. They don't want the guys who are second guessing themselves and ruminating about past possible failures. They are looking for guys that are confident and have the mental strength to not waste time worrying about was is already done. Guys that constantly worry about how they are doing can get themselves into a hole mentally to the point where they give up.
UK and Australian SAS are totally different, they are different levels and perform totally different functions
I know us Brits, the Aussies and the New Zealanders have a long history of rivalry (Particularly in sport), but we've always held their military in the highest regard. Their bravery and sacrifice at Gallipoli and Western Front in WW1 will never be forgotten here.....
But the Ashes are ours lol
Hey maybe next time we'll win
The problem is this: You and every Australian making comments here has failed to state that the Australian SAS is under investigation for serious war crimes right at this moment. Further to this, there is GoPro footage of Australian SAS troops letting an attack dog maul a civilian, and then an SAS soldier executes the civilian whilst he is laying on his back in a submissive stance. There are further serious allegations of executions, with the rules of engagement being verified by using the same radio equipment photographed next to multiple corpses. The same serial number can be seen on the portable radio in numerous evidence photographs provided by the SAS. An Australian SAS soldier who received the Victoria Cross, the equivalent to the US Medal Of Honor, is currently on trial and under investigation for multiple criminal offences, including an accusation he kicked a handcuffed civilian off a cliff and then shot the civilian whilst he lay prone at the bottom of the cliff.
So for all the bogans on here going on about the proud heritage of the SAS, take a reality check about what has really been going on. If if you want to measure the success of the Australian military and the US military in Afghanistan, look at Kabul right now. It is a repeat of Vietnam 1975, we cut and run like cowards from our allies and left them to be slaughtered by our enemies, that is a fact.

I served in the ADF for the better part of thirty years in navy and had my uncle serve in the Australian SASR for more than 30 years, some of his time while I was also serving. He served in Vietnam as a soldier first then back as SASR. Was very proud of my service in Navy, but even more so of my uncle serving as an elite soldier. Chewed some of the same ground as he did at the same campaign and have nothing but the utmost respect for him, and his men who also served with him. Had a long and very successful career and then left to start a business doing tours of the Papuan Kokoda battlefields for civilians. Unfortunately at the age of 68 he has developed early onset dementia and is a shell of his former self. An unbelievably fit and focussed person and now nearly unrecognisable mentally. So damn sad he put some very hard years in and ends up struggling as a person and just a cruel blow for someone who had the utmost respect for his peers as did they of him. Respect doesn’t even come close to describing his persona and presence...so much so he was given the Knick name of Minnie Mouse as his presence just demanded nothing but respect and was the most precious person as an individual who would do anything to help you and always has a smile on his face. Respect to serving and retired SASR brothers where and whoever they are.
Hey mate, is there a way I can contact you? I'm just a young boy with massive interest in the ADF, with every intention of joining, I'd just like to ask you some questions. Cheers.

Hey mate, I hope you're going well. Dementia is a terrible thing, i'm sorry to hear such a great man fell victim to it. They say every man alive will either experience it, or know someone close to them who will experience it at some point in their lives.
30 years in the SASR?
R u sure about that?
Big Al worked with him in the 70s/80s
Definitely part 2. Really interesting to see what you have to say about our boys.
After watching this I felt like I could finally relate to someone after what I had been through. One night I bought 2 packets of TimTams and intended on eating both packets. Midway through the second packet I knew I was out of my depths, I knew I was about to hit a physical and mental wall and I felt a sense of doom and failure creeping up on me. Halfway through the second packet, I think I was 6 biscuits in, my stomach bloated, my mind urging me to push on, my every physical fibre screaming not to stop all got to much and I stopped. At this stage i was on all fours in my lounge room, beaten like a $28 greyhound at the Dapto dogs.
The flashbacks today are horrific as through it happened yesterday. When I go into a supermarket and get near the biscuit isle, I get sweaty hands, my anxiety raises, I get a twitchy nose and crawl past the isle. I have been diagnosed with PTBS (post traumatic biscuit syndrome) by a clinical psychologist and have recently eaten half a packet of chocolate Teddybear biscuits but had major flashbacks to the night in my lounge.
I finished BUDS and re-fueled with 3 x 365g family packs of Tim Tams imported directly from Brisbane, Australia. Over 1kg of Tim Tams in one sitting.
Hooyah!
Politican Andrew Hastie is candidate 10 on this course. In the full documentary you can see him when they pan out all of the candidate photos, slightly right from the centre in a dark blue collared shirt. Looking forward to part 2
Huh didn't know that, even when i watched the documentary before
@@toad3222 If you go to the full documentary and look at the 100+ photos, just right of centre in a blue collared shirt is him
Daniel Keighran VC is another candidate right at the beginning.
I don’t think Keighran had a crack at selection. This is an older documentary now but at this time he would have been with 6RAR or an ARes unit in WA
Hastie is my MP, I work in banking and know some top libs and he is what they have called a high potential, a chance to acheive very high levels of gov.
Part 2 is worth the watch.
Got the DVD at home
I remember back in the mid 90's we were participating in a CSAR multi national co-op training, that involved our US pilot's SERE training out in Alaska, called 'Cope Thunder." And the SAS from Australia or GB were involved. Respect was earned and given during this time. By the end of our training, we collectively drank the local pub dry!
solidres can always clean out a bar. especially guys getting together from different countries. my experience with some brits was a drink feast.
Always a good time drinking a pitcher with the USMC and US Army, well for us it was a pitcher 🍺 per person
Yes part 2.
This is just the pre selection course. After this, as you said, they go on to their specialist training. Tbh, the regiment never stops training. They also do a lot of cross training (when not on deployment) with the other SAS regiments of the world, those betting N.Z. U.K. and South Africa. They are without a doubt some of the finest trained military assets in the world.
Oh an fyi for you... the 'PT' guy as you said is what we call a PTI = physical training instructor. These are the ones that train and get projective recruits trough basic training. Similar to your drill sergeants I guess. So that's why the interviewing C.O's were ripping into him ;)
I've watched a few of your vids now. Good job. Good to see you're covering the rest of the world's forces and not just American. Anyways, interested to see your opinion and keeping it real. Also glad to see our "chicken stranglers" (SASR) represented. ;) definitely watch the rest of the docco. Also check out our Commando's. Out.
What i like about you is you speak things how it really is not how people want to hear it
At 9:00 the 15 warriors the DS was referring to was 15 members of the SASR and 3 from the AA Avn who lost their lives when 2 Blackhawks collided on an Ex near Townsville in 1996.
When the DS mentions ‘the 15 warriors stripped from the Regiment’, he is referring to an accident involving two Blackhawks which collided whilst conducting Counter Terrorism training at night. The accident occurred in June 1996.
One was a cricket teammate. Great young man....and you would never guess he was SAS. But tough to his core. RIP soldier.
What? No. He was talking about they were aiming to make 15 guys quit. That's what he said. Watch again with that in mind.
Here is what he said and I quote “15 warriors who were at their peak, stripped from this Regiment like that (clicks fingers). 15 is the number we’re going to work with tonight.” He is not talking about making 15 soldiers quit. DS never tell candidates they are going to get them to do something that will make them quit. The decision to quit and the number who do rests solely with the candidates. 15 refers to the activity and the repetitions that will be carried out.
ARE not WERE. Maybe it's the Aussie accent. Im an aussie so it sounds clear as day to me. Why would he be talking about an American marine/delta operation? Tell me exactly which "regiment" lost 15 guys in Mogadishu? I'll wait.
I have no idea why you’ve introduced American forces and in particular Mogadishu. I’ll say it again. He is referring to 15 SAS soldiers who were killed in June 1996 in an accident involving two Blackhawk helicopters. ARE is present plural whilst WERE is past plural. As the crash occurred in the past, the SAS soldiers WERE killed.
I found the young man at the end really interesting. I also had problems where I had reached my early 20's and was both immature and arrogant. I lost of couple of years of my early career because I needed time to fix that problem. In truth, the reason was because I didn't have many good influences in my life to look to and admire up to that point. Plenty of young men in their early to mid 20's need to start again. In fact, at the start of this there was a man in his mid 30's who needed to start again. Its okay to do that.
I was in the RAE 48 years ago, and you DO NOT want the SAS on the other side.
Part 2 please! Thanks for reacting to this, cheers from 'straya

Couple of unique aspects to their training there. Good on them. Aus/Can/NZ/US/UK are a formidable force together, will always be on the same side. Part 2 should be good.

I remember watching the whole documentary and had to constantly remind myself that what I'm seeing is the 3 week selection process in order to get an invite for the official SAS training which kept blowing my mind. There is also a documentary about the NZSAS which is also very cool and along the same lines. Do go-ahead for Part 2 man
Puts it in perspective dosn't it?. Thats just the tryouts for selection to train. Its not an acceptance into the regiment. lol. Most of the guys are under 6 ft. lean wiry little buggers that dont know how to give up.
Yip, in NZ cycle is alot harder than selection and lasts for months not weeks. Selection is literally just the first step and the wake up call, cycle being the true test.
NZ SAS is 1 of the toughest buggers on the planet...ANZAC spirit👍
I have known personally half a dozen ex aussie SAS, including two of their commanding officers. They are unique. There was an instance in Afghanistan where resupply to a remote location was need, and all the "troops" were out on missions. The CO (a Major General - ie. 2 star) took the convoy of predominantly captains and Majors to complete the task. I know of another (ex-Major) who ran a fundraising hike that crossed 1600kms of outback OZ in 33 days

Part 2 would be awesome! And if you want to see more on the Aussie SF, check out the 2nd Commando Regiment. The SASR are described as the scalpel, whilst 2 CDO are the hammer.
i did SASR selection in 2015 (generally most infantry here will attempt it at some point) this one is out of date its more varied now i remember i had to sit in a tree motionless for 3 days gathering intelligence on a notional enemy camp (i pulled out because it sunk in i would not see my family for up to 48 months and i had a sick relative) any way you need to know everything about both SAS and Commandos so hopefully i can explain the specialization thing also couple of things
1. yes they are experienced
2. they generally want you to have two or more tours on your belt
3. having done recon course is preferred (Australia is modular its real different to how the US army/USMC works)
generally people specializing in certain fields like armaments linguists intelligence etc do separate courses or are given supporting roles if request for transfer is approved based on prior qualifications or experience they don't need to do selection because they are not true SAS they are SF support they can request to do so at a later time and depending how long they were in the regiment for they will be offered a guaranteed spot if they can just complete the selection course (there's no fuck fuck mind tricks just do the course and you're in)
these guys are the ones who will be boots on the ground fucking cunts up they do learn languages they will go to a school specifically for language and get smashed over 6 months and become fluent
ps: the gas plug is what makes the AUG cycle without it the weapon basically turns into a bolt action however the gas plugs get lost a lot they're kind of hard to put on and take off and can go flying off if the weapon is fired and its not attached properly
Don't talk shit!

The SAS usually took only 2 or 3 out of 25+ who started the course. The sweetener was the highest pay level.

Good lad. Remember this, serving in the armed forces is not a career, it is a life style. It is not for everyone. You will figure this out. Try to get into a corps which gives training useful for post army career. from a retired Aussie Armoured Corps soldier. If you are going for SASR, try to get into a special forces unit of some type for the best pretraining for the selection course, and learn and train navigation skills. Very handy.

Go part 2.
Good leaders/trainers is what makes a good soldier. I was 1 year(training) at the Russian border in Norway(-40c, no sunlight 6 months). We dident get normal officers, we got top shelf 10-15 year combat veterans who had a break, and trained a troop for the fun of it. They told uss first day we had to do 30% more, and have 3 houer longer days than all the other troops. We had to eat last, pick all the empty cartridge for the entire base, carry 40 kg instead of 20 kg on 40 km marches and so on.
We hated them at first but started to se we dident lose any marches or training/combat exersices aganst the entire region. On the end march 60 km (no gear this time) all 50 of uss met ready at 06.00 with full combat gear and 20 kg sand in the backpack. I never saw my captain show any feelings, but that morning i almost saw a tear.
I’m Australian and ex-military and really appreciate your commentary. Really interesting. Looking forward to watching part 2 and your other videos. Did military exercises with US Marines. Great guys.

Lachie Gent direct action yes long range recon and stealth no
@@lachiegent9276 I always hear that but with no follow up on evidence. Gossip doesn't make it true.
I have too, but they can't show you everything the applicants go through
Being an Aussie, I'd say the SASR is the best by a country mile. Anyway taking off my home team hat and talking like a proper adult, the SASR are obviously on the top shelf with various other elite units such as Delta Force, SEALS, SAS and so on. Who is best? The SASR does amphibious ops but SEALS have some special skills there etc. I think what you would find is they are all top line men in highly disciplined units. They will have slightly different capabilities.
All special forces are amazing and its a bit silly to be arguing about who's the best. Theres a good documentary about nz sas selection, quite a few episodes of it and it really good. I think all sas regiments from whichever country are absolutely awesome.
SAS is all the same standard bringing different quality's to be the best!

Also re: gas plug. On that weapon you’ll get one shot off without the gas plug, vital component!

Recruit 47 - I went to Army Cadet's with him in Perth when we were teenagers. I've not seen him for years and I can't recall if he made it through selection but he is one hell of an operator from what I heard about him even in Regular Army. So many memories watching this show. I was born in Perth but live now in Melbourne, I was lucky enough Pre Sep. 11 2001 as a cadet we spent a lot of time at the Bindoo training camps in the mock city which was nicknames SAS City . We would abseil off the embassy and towers and when I did a gap year with the 16th Batalion I was super fortunate to play enemy party on an embassy attack. Crawling through underground tunnels at 02:00 sneaking up on grown-ass men when i was 17 years old was one of the most exciting experiences. To then here " contact " and the flare's shoot up and light the place up like day light with F88 and Minimi cracking load AF! Good times!!!

That makes up 3% of SOTG. What about the other 97% whose innocent. Keep making smart remarks on the internet which are meaningless.
@@rp4712 coming from an obviously talented rocket surgeon such as yourself, I find it interesting that you like to quote figures and work out percentages, yet you still defend a system that encouraged murder of innocent people. The 3% you point out is the 3% of those WHO GOT CAUGHT. The rest was hidden and covered up and the whistle blowers were persecuted instead of the murderers committing the crimes. Seems like a common theme such as when Julian Assange leaked footage of war crimes, and look where that got him.
Again and again, people like you defend this toxic military culture within special forces that ALWAYS includes the murder of innocent civilians that is covered up. Children machine gunned in their beds at night, farmers executed whilst lying prone on their backs. That is the true legacy of Australian Special Forces. FACT!
When I attempted selection in the 80's the directing staff always said * we never fail anyone, you'll fail yourself" very true.
The Australian were some of the most effective soldiers in the world wars John monash a Australian general form ww1 hoped shape modern warfare all arms tactics.
I'm currently reading a biography on John Monash.. the man was methodical and a genius.
Exactly right. And because he had some Jewish blood in his ancestry, there was a campaign run against him by a certain media person and although his name lives on with University, Freeway etc, not many young Australians know who he was or what he did.
Monash wrote a book in the 1920s which was replublished recently. 'Australian Victories in France in 1918'. Should be required reading for all Aussie soldiers, especially officers. Surprising stuff in the book such as during the Battle of Hamel, he had organised for aerial resupply of ammo for Vickers gunners during the battle! Running low on ammo?, the gunners would roll out two pieces of canvas in a big V. Pilots circling above, saw the V and would parachute more ammo to them!
Seeing you watch part 2 would be great.
Part 2 would be nice.
P.S. I don't know why we still have Steyer AUGs. I always thought the US arsenal would be better for adoption.
In the field they use m4 / hk416 but everyone goes through basic training with an austeyr so its a good way to keep everyone equal
Our system serves several purposes well I feel. Cheap parts, tested, easy of operators to fix and use, flexibility in platform. Complex is never good for GIs. Hell I am an AK fan for average Joe grunt. They just go bang.
Typically people in SF groups have an arsenal they can choose from, so they have a variety of choices once in their SF unit. I believe it's like the British SAS (the father of all) where they can pick whatever suits them as an individual. Wouldn't surprise me considering they're all beasts and get trained on most weapon systems 😂
SASR use m4s and american style equip. Besides, the EF88 is a lot better than those crappy training styers they are using.
Steyr AUG F88 is ADF standard issue rifle. It’s issued to Army, Navy and Airforce. The only exclusion is SF, such like SASR and Commando Company. It’s a great bullpup rifle. I use to hate the look of it, but eventually it grown on me to love it. I’d carried that rifle for over 20 years. Very robust, accurate and lightweight. You can’t ask more in a rifle like that.
Great point on the hidden injuries. Sucks for guy but at least he knows and it doesn’t get someone killed.
Proud to be Aussie when I see these champs
We're all proud!
True heroes. And at 40 my biggest regret is not joining the army
Fun fact about ol mate without a gas plug.
They actually took it from him when he wasn't watching.
Well how’s that fair
I have seen this doco before but its great to see a professional soldier to comment on it. So Part 2 and you got a subscriber.
I love Australian SAS and know they are one super deadly powerful force.
