@notmenotme614 - that depends on your view of P-Coy. It has only existed in its current form for a little under 40yrs (before that there weren't any Endurance events), before this it was also shorter - 4 days of tests after a field exercise and a couple of days of PT. HRH only did the PT and physical tests not the Exercise phase, and before you go screaming that he 'cheated' that was the format of the original Airborne Selection course. He then did the standard jumps course. I'll leave you to decide whether that is enough for you or not.

It's a different colour and cut as he's a very senior rank, it's the same for all General Staff level officers.

He did P-Coy 40yrs ago.

They aren't SF. They are part of Special Forces Support Group but that in and of itself doesn't make them SF.

He's not their 'Chief', it's a ceremonial position. Equally he is qualified, he's done both P-Coy and his Jumps course.

They wear out.

They wear out, +20years of being out on parades has an impact.
