Ok i will try to remember... :o

please if iam using greek translate...

first of all you have to be healthy ...which means nothing under I 1 (ikanotita 1 -2) is allowed...
and the number 2 simainei isos ena mikro handycap sta matia...oxi somatika i dianoitika...
Gynonte oles i iatrikes exetashs analoga...

2.in the base you have to run 800m....in some time
make 20 push ups
10 elxis...etc etc and some other Gymnastic tests...which arent so important for a healthy joung man...
afterwoulds come the party...in the mean training... ;)

ah yes...it isnt allowed to have Tattoos or earing either... :lol:

Regards

ps...somewere i have the official list of testing by the SF...


for me the physical tests were never a problem...nor were the "kourasi"/aypnia etc etc...the main problem is allways the breaking psychological methods they use to test you especially in the MYK...

Guys i don't know if you heard this but in the last competition for proffesionals soldiers to the Greek Army the rate of the specialities wanted to the Special Forces has been reached to 8,5:1!I believe that now is the chance to be put some more "tough" standards to the collection procedure.

yes indeed....i agree that the standards of training must be higher for the whole army and not only for SF...
also did you heard that this days the greek army anouncened new thesis for 5700 soldiers...?
and recieved 55 000 ...aitishs?

seems that any joung man sees an "opurtunity" to join the military and secure there future...

Regards
