"The course lasts four weeks and is conducted at No 1 Parachute Training School at RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire. The students must make a total of eight jumps including one from a balloon, one at night and an operational descent (the latter being most difficult.) At the end of the course student are awarded the 'Sabre' wings. They then return [to Credenhill] where they are badged Special Air Service."

Once Jungle training has been passed candidates are in the 22nd Special Air Service, however new troopers have not finished their training. Any candidate unable to drive or swim undergoes further training in those areas and then once added to a Squadron, an Special Air Service trooper must learn his patrol skill. Signalling, demolitions, languages or medicine, an Special Air Service four man-patrol is a self contained unit and must poses all of these skills; some troopers as they stay in the Special Air Service will retrain in other patrol skill areas, this, combined with their specialist troop skill (Mountaineering, Mobility, Anti-Terrorism and advanced parachuting) means that each Special Air Service soldier is unique and one of the highest trained troopers in the world.
