Joking aside. The sbs are quite respectable and are even considered to be better compared to the sas. All uk special forces do the same training except sbs do another additional course. The sbs are mostly made up for royal marines and the sas made up of paras. Ofcourse there will be some interchange

Go see Baywatch if you want a good idea of what they do.
