member of the Special Forces is a big thing. It
involves a lot of training and being away from
home a lot. The training for a member of the

You will know that as a member of the military
you need to be physically fit. When it comes to
Special Forces recruitment, you need to be fitter
than just any Army recruit. You will need to

pushed to breaking point. The more prepared you
are beforehand, the more chance you have of
becoming a member of the Special Forces. Special

It is not just about brute force when it comes to
the Special Forces you will need to have brains
too. There are tests to get into the selection
process and you will need to score highly in them
to move onto the next stage. It is important to
study hard and know everything that you need to.
If you score low, you will be moved into another
area of work for the US Military.
If you have a fear of heights, it is time to get
over it now. As part of the Special Forces, you
will need to be Airborne certified. This means
that you need to have jumped out of an aircraft a
number of times. Parachuting is a daunting
experience for many but is fun at the same time.
Get over your fear of heights, even if it just
for the time that you are parachuting to the
ground. Remember that you will have all the
training you need to be certified for Airborne so
there are very few risks.

There will be constant tests along the way of the
Special Forces selection process, which will mean
that you need to know your stuff. You will need
to know all about the rifle that you carry and
the different types of firearms used. You will
also need to know about first aid. You will have
been given a handbook to read over so make sure
that you do.
It is easy to let the selection process and
training to get into the Special Forces team get
you down. The staff will try to break you
mentally and physically. This is something that
you need to be prepared for. You need to be tough
mentally if you want to succeed - after all, who
knows what could happen while on deployment.
