not surprised luke, everyone wants to be like the SAS
they could also put SBS or SFSG and still be as cool
although SAS is more well known,
I'll post when I get an xbox...which I plan on soon
Just fyi on the SAS (although most might already know):
Selection is reputed to be the most demanding military training course in the British Army with a reported pass rate of less than 10%. It is a test of strength, endurance, and resolve over the Brecon Beacons and Elan Valley in Wales, and in the jungle of Brunei, taking around 6 months to complete.
Selection is held twice a year regardless of conditions. A candidate must be male and have been a regular member of the Armed Forces for at least three years. All soldiers who apply must have at least 39 months of military service remaining and to be eligible for selection the candidate must not exceed 32 years of age. A candidate who fails any stage of the selection is 'Returned to [his parent] Unit' (RTU'd). Candidates are allowed only two attempts at selection, after which they may never reapply. Many are not even allowed that.
Like other sections of the British armed forces, the SAS accepts members from the Commonwealth and The Republic of Ireland, with notable representation from Fiji, the former Rhodesia, New Zealand and Australia. The Parachute Regiment is frequently the SAS's main recruiting area.
The selection phase has three main sections:
physical endurance
combat
survival and evading capture.
The physical endurance phase is the phase in which most candidates will be eliminated due to the difficulty of the test. The SAS use the Brecon Beacons in Wales to carry out the test. Over the course of a month the runs and hikes get progressively longer, the weights carried increase and recovery times shorten. The final stage of this phase of selection is known as "Test Week" and culminates with "Endurance", a forty mile march across the Brecon Beacons, that must be completed in less than twenty hours with a load in excess of fifty-five pounds plus water, food and rifle.
The combat phase is held in the jungle, normally in Brunei or Malaysia. This is where the successful candidates will learn to use weapons and tactics to outwit and outmaneuver enemy forces. The SAS, unlike most regiments, uses live ammunition on their combat phase. This is because they are trained to fight while considering friendly positions from the start, so that they can carry this straight on to the battlefield: 'You only get one chance'.
If candidates have managed to pass through this combat phase then now they have to go through survival and escape and evasion training. In this phase candidates that are left from the hundreds that apply will undergo a survival phase in the jungle, in which they only have a small 'survival kit'. They must 'survive' for a week while evading a hunter force. This is a particularly hard phase because the hunter force is normally accustomed to the ground and are given rewards, such as increased leave, if they capture a candidate. After this week, the candidates must give themselves up at an agreed meeting point. They will then be taken back to the enemy HQ and interrogated. This interrogation phase will make or break their career as they must undergo physical and mental torture as well as aggressive interrogation. The SAS will accept roughly 2-7% of the soldiers who started selection.
However with all the fit paintball players here, I sure the pass rate would increase

And as a wild guess, I doubt many of the people who have 'SAS' as their clan tag are actually in the SAS, nor know anything about it/the British armed forces
.
