Hey all I have a question for serving soldiers or poeple who know alot about the army.
I am english aged 20 and was once wanting to become a para failed the eyesight standards. I am thinking of becoming a regular soldier through laser eye surgery.
I would like to join the 'Royal Engineers' as I would like a trade.
But I recently just came across this thing about bear gryll's someone close to me said he was actually in the reserve SAS?
I know most regiments have reserves but do they actually fight alongside real full time Specail forrces? It just seems like they help like the SFSG does they seem more of a sub side of a group.
I alway's thought reserve specail forces just worked alongside and weren't actually full blown SAS soldiers!
I thought thier just support force!
I know reserve forces have slighly easier training to allow poeple join regular SAS training is far harder for obvious reason's.
My questions are as the army elite reserve unit are they recognised and somewhat praised?
Do they serve along side SAS/SBS regular's?
Are they or do they do the same dangerous level work is everything the same?
I alway's thought they just guard or help like Para 1 group does It's the parachute regiment squad that helps specail forces i presumed reserve SAS didn't do as much dirty work or hardwork as regular SAS soldiers do.
