Not sure why I'm posting on this, I'm not particularly invested in it, but selection is still not passing training:

You are correct.
The selection criteria are not exactly high end either though.

Arguably the US Navy selection process is a bit more demanding. It takes 12 weeks compared to the RN 4 days for a start.
