It would depend on what you do within the unit.


All members have different qualifications or different fields of expertise. For example, a weapons expert or demolitions expert would have a lower clearance than a mechanical, electronic or signals tech.


There is no one blanket classification, although there would be a standard, even 'classified' compared to 'secret' or 'top secret' but not everyone within the unit would have the same classification.

Remember compartmentalization is a very good way of keeping secrets. One member may 'need to know' and one may not....

Also in regard to joining such a unit, it's not about your sec clearance or even your spec, it's about your ability and passing barrier testing.

For example, after school i joined the RAN ( Royal Aus Navy ) as an ET - Electronic Tech with a specific security clearance. This would be higher than a BM, OS, MT etc. Because an ET has to deal with certain technology such as Navigation, Warfare and Communication systems. This type of technology is highly classified due to the type of tech we had to deal with. An EWL would have a higher classification because they delt with Intel, Signals and foreign Language.

But if we wanted to join the SAS, the job spec wouldnt matter as much as the ability to do the job in regard to SAS needs.

I hope that makes sense, it's not about your clearance. It is about your ability to do the job that you are applying for

lmao sorry to laugh but it's not that easy to throw a security clearance around... If you have ever had to apply for one... the paperwork is amazingly huge.

The clearance that says you are a blood thirsty, MKULTRA brainwashed, psychopathic killer, who will do what the elites tell you to do with blind obedience & comes back licking their boots begging for more.

On entry to the servce you will fill out forms and go through an initial National Agency Check [NAC]. Then there is the small hurdle of getting into and surviving BUDS. There are medical, physical, and mental requirements for entry and continued survival. I do not know what the present requirements are for entry into BUDS but you may be able to find them online. At some point you will fill out an SF-86 form where you will list all addresses, foreign travel, schools attended, legal actions other than traffic tickets, etc. Then a Background Investigation [BI] will be done which will include interviews with neighbors, co-workers, and school teachers/professors. At some point, a clearance will be granted based on what you will need to know. There are some general categories and then there are categories like SPECAT, CRYPTO, and various nuclear weapons codes.

SEAL training is difficult and the life of team members is not easy.

I am aware.

But it was a simple answer to a simple question. Going about making it happen is an entirely different matter.
