 ==== Operative Selection ====
-A four-week ordeal, Operative Selection, or SELECT, is the introductory course that recent graduates from Basic Training or one of the academies, on recommendation from their training officers, or volunteers from other assignments on recommendation from their commanding officers, attend. SELECT is designed to test the students’ aptitude for success in environments and mission types commonly experienced by operatives without revealing classified techniques and equipment to those who will be found lacking and sent back for assignment to non-SAINT occupations. SELECT is intentionally designed to be a pressure cooker, with the training staff driving the students much harder than in Basic Training. Evolutions include simulated surveillance in urban environments, survival and evasion exercises in jungle environments, and the final week-long combat exercise. The final exercise is not intended to simulate SAINT operations at all, but rather to test the students’ will and drive to succeed, even when forced to stay awake in a highly stressful situation for days on end. Students who complete SELECT with a “GO” from the training staff are elevated to the position of candidate and are fed into the Operative Indoctrination training cycle. Students who receive a “NO GO” from the staff or who Drop On Request (DOR) are returned for reassignment outside of SAINT.
