Participate in selection
The selection process usually begins at the Sterling line base in Herford. The first day must ensure that no matter what,
The first day may do a variety of qualification tests, such as road runs or physical training. Your first physical test will be conducted in basic Army battle physical tests (see previous chapter). These have already been seen in your original unit, but make sure that you are doing a very good job of being watched by the instructor. At any time must be grouped together with the first. The test itself is used to eliminate those who are not well prepared for the selection. However, this stage of training is only for the warm-up exercise during the selection process in Wales for more than three weeks, especially the endurance and orientation training in the Blake lighthouse area. This is the core content of the selection and will reach the culmination of the dreadful "stretching" or "endurance march". Killi is destroyed in this process.
The end of the selection at this stage is usually set at Fort Senebridge in Powys. Sunnbridge is not only a middle position in the selection process, it is also the most commonly used live firing range for special air crews, so recruits and active duty forces will have a lot of activities there.
Once you have arrived at Sunny Bridge, you will have a variety of tools that will be very useful in the days to come. As for the dress and equipment to be carried, your standard combat suit will be accompanied by a waterproof jacket and trousers, and your reliable rucksack. There is a luminescent plate on the rucksack so that it can be used as a visible marker when it is used to identify and locate the rescue during the selection process. The tools you get at Sunny Bridge are primarily for survival. In addition to emergency ration kits, you will also need to bring life-saving flash bombs, a home-going beacon attached to the rucksack, a flashlight, a sleeping bag and a camping bag, and a sea life suit. Based on this, you will be given a rifle. Just like tools, you have to thoroughly examine all items and make sure that nothing is destroyed. Put the backpack in place, check for friction, adjust it properly, or lengthen the strap.
At Sunny Bridge, your tool will also include the Silva Compass, as well as five 1:50000 military survey maps, all of which are marked in the area that the selection will face. It is better to get these maps before they reach the selection place. The maps you need in particular are several maps including Breconbricks Mountain, Montenegro, Black Onvey, Elan Valley, and Dean Forest. Study the terrain you are facing, and pay attention to its characteristics, especially the contours, slopes, and the valleys, rivers, and exposed rocks that can be used to identify orientations. One of the techniques for reading maps is to imagine a three-dimensional terrain in mind when you look at the map. To use this map as a baby, they will guide you in the next few weeks. If you don't take it seriously, you have serious consequences. If you just folded the map in the wrong way, you broke a fold. Traces, and therefore an important landform are blurred. If this fails, it would be a tragedy. Since special air crews are from various parts of the British Armed Forces, not every person who arrives at Sunny Bridge has the same understanding of orientation. Therefore, the instructor will explain the basic elements of orientation in Sunnybridge. Listen carefully. Because of the specific direction you face in the Breconbricks Mountains, their guidance will be priceless.
Once you have sent the tools to you, and simply introduced you to possible situations, then you must begin to take the selection route.
Route selection
Unfortunately, any book that wants to teach about the selection of special air missions has to admit that there is no way to know which route will be used in a particular year. Every year, the route will change and change, and the old soldiers will not reveal the specific route they chose. This should be the case because if the route is known, then the confidentiality of the special airline mission is seriously frustrated. However, what we can say is that the essence of the selection route is predictable.
Most of the selection process began with a 16-24-kilometer emergency march with about 18 kilograms of things in the backpack, plus bullet bags and rifles. When you leave, your group is escorted by a drill sergeant. There are two or three assembly points in the middle of the route. At this stage, the determinants of route choice - but also throughout the selection process - are speed and precise orientation. Try to keep up with Sgt. However, this is not an easy task because he is physically quite good and only has a rucksack. However, if he keeps up with the first group, even if you do not get the support of a sergeant, at least he will oppose it. You took it out of the whole process. Most of the trips in this phase are steep slopes, and the worse the worse the situation will go.
No matter what you do in the selection, you must not scold the food. If you have a short time, eat while walking, but you need to eat many meals to ensure that your calorie intake remains high. Otherwise, your attention and strength will soon be reduced, and the risk of frostbite will become a reality.
In the selection process, one of the most commonly used focuses is to become the peak of the "pan fan." This mountain is the highest mountain in Breconki Briggs. The top of the hill is a bare rocky platform. It has been very difficult to climb up, but in some places in the special airline mission selection, you have to do "fan dance" training - this exercise involves carrying all the equipment on the slopes of the mountain to run up and down . Here is a review of this training by a special crew member who successfully completed the selection:
"The real test is 'fan dance'. This is a real beastly hard work. No matter how good your body is, it is also a difficult task for you. Everyone who says it is not such a thing is definitely In theory, you should be behind the drill sergeant, if you are with him, then you can make sure that you are in the first group, because the instructor's body is very good, and they do not have much Weight-bearing: They do not have a rifle but only a rucksack. The basic approach is to run along the peaks of the “Pan Fanâ€: run up the hill, come down from the other side, go up again, then go down. Finally, your two legs become like Noodle fucking."
Just as this soldier later continued to review, "fan dance" is really the start of the selection of recruits. Remember the point in the selection - if you fall behind and you spend too much time on a break, miss a meeting place or time, show no control over your emotions, then you will be disqualified immediately and sent back The original unit. If you want to go through the selection process, make sure that you are doing it right at all times and at every hour. This is why at the end of each selection process only more than 10 soldiers can succeed.
“After the 'fan dance' was over, we assembled again. When we heard a briefing before going uphill, we probably completed half of the process, so half of us passed. This is the second day of the selection process. People do not achieve results in 'fan dance.' Logically, they have to do this - simply because they can't provide food and transportation for so many people around them - so there is a very real reason. And, frankly, If they fail to pass the 'fan dance', then they cannot continue the remaining subjects. The drill sergeants are cruel to this, they can set time at will, and they will not give any reason - very simple, It's just 'get off the egg, you lost!'"
It can be seen that in the first few days of the selection journey, you either succeeded or were destroyed. Therefore, you must put all your energy into training.
The first week was a similar exercise and was always in the hands of a sergeant-led group. In the first week of this type of training, it also included reading instruction outside the classroom (there may be some terrible sports training in the gym throughout the afternoon), and related training in the swimming pool. The latter part of the training included armed fervors, wearing military uniforms, boots, carrying bullet bags and drinking glasses, and other tasks such as diving with the same equipment and stepping on water.
By the third week of the selection, the recruits will find him becoming more and more lonely in the selection march. The instructors are looking for someone who will not feel scared when making decisions in isolation for a long time and lack of contact with people.
By the end of the first week, you will notice that you will be positioning and endurance training in groups that are not being coached by sergeants. Indeed, some of the last training in the first week is most likely to be conducted in pairs. At the same time, you will also find that the number of agglomeration sites increases steadily, and the time to reach each assembly site steadily decreases. In the coming weeks, things are heading in this direction. Indeed, no matter how hard the first week of training, the situation seems to be getting worse and worse.
Endurance stage
In the weeks following the second week of selection and training, the endurance training component of the route was almost unbearable. At the end of what was called the "test week," the culmination of the endurance training process was "learning" or "endurance marching." ". Self-reliance is the practice of training sergeants at this stage. You must be able to accurately locate the position, and training is more and more to be carried out by yourself to test if you have the personality ability to survive in prolonged isolation. (This is just a quality required by a special airline.)
The second stage of the selection is also to test your endurance limit. Any minor damage at this stage can be a painful problem, especially with blisters, bruised heels, and sprained joints. If these places do not move, drill the sergeant to see if you can tolerate the pain and push your endurance to the limit. If you can't stand it - either for psychological or physical reasons - then you will be sent back to the original unit without a word. Only the strongest people’s talents continue.
Regarding the rest of the day, during the entire selection period, you are likely to have a three-day break, although you still have to stay in the barracks, and you are likely to attend a brief review of these days. The drill sergeant may also talk to you on a one-to-one basis. He will give you an assessment of the performance of these days, and then tell you where you need to improve and what you need to do to keep up with the training. However, be sure to have enough rest these days. Usually these days are arranged between extreme challenge training to help you recover. In the meantime, you will have to go out and turn around and relax, but don't drink because you need to maintain peak status in future training. In the second week, there is a typical training with a 15-20 km mountain march. He has to carry a backpack weighing 18 kilograms, and at the same time identify the positioning between 5 or 6 camps in about 4 to 5 hours. . At the end of the week, the distance to the march increased sharply to 30 kilometers and required 8 to 9 collections to be walked within 6 hours. It is also getting tougher to deal with hillside slopes and harsh terrain. At this stage, as a large number of trainees are eliminated, the number of recruits will further decrease.
"This time this became a mental battle... More and more people are giving up (voluntarily falling behind) - because of injuries, because of attitude problems, and of course, those simply because they cannot be dictated by time Pass quickly through the mountains, because speed is the most critical.People start to disagree and start to give up, others are starting to wonder why they are here, maybe they just want to leave Germany for training for a while.Only one or two in this The trainees will not be overwhelmed by this. This is why the Welsh mountain region has become a test site for the special crew members. You want to participate in this training because it is a truly daunting task. It is not just a body. The quiz, I mean, you have to be good, but it's not enough to just keep good, unless your body is surprisingly good, and you can keep it all the way through the selection process, so this is entirely a matter of motivation and will ."
As the Special Airstrike soldier pointed out, the main purpose of the selection is to remove those who do not have good physical conditions, but it is equally, if not more, to find out the real ones who cannot be a special airline regiment. Character person. If the recruits show a little fragility or are not decisive, they will be immediately discovered by the scouts and sent back to their original units.
The endurance march—that is, the last 64-kilometer walk in 20 hours—is sounding good, as long as you walk more than 3 kilometers an hour. However, in fact, due to topography, reading maps, carrying 36 kilograms of items, lack of sleep, and prolonged fatigue, it is exceedingly difficult to maintain normal speed.
In the winter selection process, you must first think of preparing a warm hat. Because more than half of the body heat is lost from the head, make sure the head is warm and dry. Pull down on the wool cap and cover the tip of the ear while using a waterproof scarf to protect the face from getting wet from the rain.
Sometimes, the drill sergeant will also make some cruel jokes to the recruits to test their character strength. The most common test is that when the recruits are exhausted physically and mentally to the final assembly point, the drill sergeant will tell him that their car is still at another assembly site 10 miles away and they must march there. In fact, the car is only two or three miles ahead of the road, but the drill sergeant will pay careful attention to the reaction of the recruits. If he suddenly shows loss of interest or patience, he is likely to be sent back to the original unit. If he does not complain in the slightest and begins to hit the road without saying a word, then this move is to exercise what the Sergeant wants to see.
