| Phase II:- Jungle Phase
This phase takes place in Brunei, at the British army jungle training school. Imagine six weeks without a shower? Imagine six weeks without a shower or a shave in the middle of a tropical jungle? Thats what the jungle phase is all about! The candidates are split into patrols of four and are taught all the jungle tactics they would need, from how to build a basha, (a lean-to), navigation, jungle and contact drills, explosives, clearing landing zone and so on... Often more than half of the men fail the jungle phase! |
| Combat Survival:
One month of training, living off the land, whilst using evasion and escape techniques. Lessons in how to evade and escape, interrogation techniques from people who have been tortured, or other experiences. The final weak is simply a survival week. Easy, survive for a week off the land! Easy? Well, try surviving in a Greatcoat while being hunted down by Gurkhas and Para's, when you know that when you are caught you are going to be interrogated! When you are caught,you are blind folded kept in awkward positions and interrogated for 48 hours.A candidate can only say 4 things: name, rank, number and date of birth. The only other thing a candidate can say is, "I cannot answer that question" If you pass every stage, you then get your SAS beret, and are put on a one year probation. |
