SAS Who dares wins

[Tuearts right boot]

But what has shitting got to do with anything? Why couldn’t they just let him use the staff loos?

Maybe it's because there ain't no mens room on hill 69

I’m just not sure it’s all necessary. In episode 1, when they were running up a mountain pulling a 60kg sleigh, Ant shouted “Surprise, surprise, there’s four chicks at the back.”

A few days later in the office where I work, the printer needed to be pulled out. I tried the same tactic. I said (and was clearly joking) “Surprise, surprise, a bloke has to move the printer because the chicks aren’t up to it.”

I’ve been spoken to one to one by a senior manager and warned of my future conduct. When I told her she wouldn’t last on SAS recruitment with that attitude, she warned me again.

My point is, why should one workplace be different from another. It’s all about equality and creating an inclusive working environment these days.

Because their working environment people get killed if they don’t get to safety quickly enough, not sure the enemy will say oh hang on lads it’s a chick and she’s not as fast as the lads so give her a minute.

He’s got to shit in a hole in a hill with the rest of them, you want him to go look for a portaloo? Anyway he didn’t have to shit with them looking at him as he was partially covered, soft **** should have done a huge log and not flushed it plusvlifting the seat up to endear himself to the ladies.

See now you’re just being vulgar.

You’re missing the point. This is a telly programme filmed in Chile. It’s not a war zone. Nobody is going to shoot the women.

It was just a joke mate, lighten up.

They ALL signed up to be pushed and trained EXACTLY as the recruits who wish to join the SAS or SBS would, if they can’t handle it then they shouldn’t have applied, nobody is forcing them, it’s supposed to be as real as the proper thing as possible.

Not sure what your issue with it actually is.

That can’t be said. No women have been allowed in the SAS before so the sexist language, said largely without compunction, is new to this process. I just think the army should consider this.

When they got the applicants to strip off in episode one, I thought I’d nodded off and woke up watching channel 4’s Naked Attraction.

The fact that quite a few of the women have dropped out suggests to me that the expected standards are too high.

In the interests of equality, maybe lessen the intensity of it all. There’s no need for some of the abuse the staff give them (males and females).

I also thought it disgraceful that the chap was forced to quit in episode one due to the toilet issue.

I thought it was a disgrace that it wasn't a question on the original application form
Two minutes in the barracks and he left
A total waste of a place

Agreed. They should have considered this and saved the poor bloke’s time. At last someone sees where I’m coming from. Cheers pal.

Haha serves you right.

Wasn't there discussion of if they pass selection they will be allowed? Hence why the show has gone down this route too.

I think you’re confusing “SAS Are You Tough Enough” with Blue Peter.

The clue is kinda in the title.
