they don't have a full colonel position within the set-up, its CO 22SAS then Director Special Forces, a Brigadier.
i can't imagine anyone being appointed DSF without having been CO 22SAS - or the equivilent from the SRR or SBS, but if you think of the time between leaving the CO's job and being touched for DSF (six years maybe) theres probably a lot of potential candidates who leave the cake, Lt. Col is a natural leaving position and the cash being offered in the private world for such serious people would make your bank managers eyes bleed - added to which of course is the job satisfaction element.
