For instance, while the SEALS run on the beach and do sit ups with logs as a group, the SAS have to hike with a heavy load of kit by themselves. This is purely so you can push yourself, which will weed out the weak people while the SEALS will help build up the team. But then with the SAS they want people who have served in the army for 3 three years or been in the SAS reserve squadron (I think).

Koji...as a little bit of info btw, the british army isnt royal. It lost its "royal" status when it rebbelled against the queen....some time ago that I cant remember when..
