I saw on another forum that the SAS allow their men to take a sabatical for a year or two to serve in a PMC, make some money, and return to the regiment. Is this true? Can other regiments in the British army do this or is it a privelage reserved only for the SAS?

No serving member of the British Forces would be permitted to engage in employment as a Mercenary for a Private Military Company.

However, what employment they obtain after discharge or resignation from the British Forces is entirely up to them.

this is true.i did hear that they were worried that people would leave the regiment because the pay working for the pmc`s was so good.so members of the sas\sbs were given a pay rise!then again you cant believe everything you hear.

Oh really? Then you gotta pity one of the guys in this funny little clip about two actors talking about the SAS.
