    Hello. You can join the SAS reserves (21 or 23 SAS) as a civilian which has its own process for application. However, in order to join 22 SAS which is the full time operational regiment, you will have to first do a career in the British Army. Your application will at that point will be considered by your time served and experience gained in service. If your application is accepted then you will have to complete SAS selection which can take several months. Thanks and if you have any other questions please ask.

    You would ask your Careers Management Officer when you are at your unit.
