My chemistry teacher at school was in the SBS and served in the Falklands. I remember my mind being blown when he told me about this because he was just such an ordinary, boring (to me at the time anyway, being a teenager) middle-aged guy and he was such a badass. Taught me something important about the humanity of soldiers which has stuck with me ever since.

I worked with a guy for 3 years, and one night on a drive back from Devenport, I was talking about SF, he said very humbly, “I did a bit of that, back in the day”, Turned out he was ex RM, and then SAS until an injury cut short his career.. These guys are always humble, non assuming types, they know what they’ve done, and don’t need to shout about it. Unfortunately though the millennials coming through the SF ranks now, do seem to like to let everyone know what they’ve done.. I guess the human psyche is very different now to generations past?

When I did my All Arms Commando course(AACC) for 29CDO R.A you do the full Royal Marines training condensed into 13 week with roughly 2/4 weeks beat-up training we had in house at the regiment, for me 2 weeks at the Citadel in pylmouth home of 29cdo and i was on the winter course at (CTCRM), Lympstone. On our course even the slightest bit of attitude and you was gone off the course plenty more where that came from. i was only 18 and the youngest with zero tours under my belt when I did my course, 127 started and only 26 of us finished. From our Army Commando unit we have 148 Battery (NGSFO), specialist Naval Gunfire Support Forward Observation based with the BSB in Pool. Mind set, stay wavey brothers 🤙

Two classic examples are Phil Campion and Colin McLaughlin, both ex-SAS, the latter had just about the worst childhood you can imagine (and talks about it now publicly). The NSPCC looked after him when he needed it most and he went on to become one of the most highly decorated boys in the regiment, which is precisely why donate to them every Christmas. He said the abuse he got through as a young lad helped him to be the ‘gatekeeper of his own emotions’ and equipped him to keep his head and get him and another more junior guy through their brief stint as hostages where they nearly got bumped of on camera in Iraq
@joysboy65885 ай бұрын
I thought it was well known, that British special forces deliberately keep an eye out for recruits that come from broken homes, or who have had a very tough childhood. Why? It's very physiological. Without doubt, they want an individual, that has been mentality scared from the childhood trauma of NOT having a mum or dad, NOT having dinner on the table, NOT having anyone to talk to, or love them, etc. One of the many things they are looking for is for a volunteer, that throughout their life has ALWAYS (& themselves) looking for to be loved/a family unit. Well guess what????? We (as in the SAS/SBS) can be & if you're good enough will be your family. That's one of the main physiological aspects of selection they're looking for. In turn, that individual/volunteer that does come from that kind of background is always going to go that extra mile for.them, will be extra loyal to them, will fight to the death for them etc. Though, it is a classless brotherhood, if an individual is telling them that they come from an unloved environment/broken home(s), that's when SAS/SBS start getting excited about YOU. Hence why it is not a coincidence why so many people in British SF's come from that type of background.

Just the selection week to get on the course is insane. As Pasha said, the ML2 course was actually more difficult than selection and from what ive been told ML's are basically special forces anyway so might be worth getting a mountain leader on here. The selection culminates with a 10 day field exercise in Norway in -25 degrees, its for the mental lads!

Reference the point of not wearing Uniform in Public. British Forces would quite often wear Uniform going on Leave on trains etc fairly common until the 70s. Then what we call "The troubles" occurred in Northern Ireland a Terrorist Campaign involving the IRA. As a result of the capture and Murder of a Off duty Soldier and other events the order was given no more wearing Uniforms in Public in the UK. To put this in context for younger readers here such things as planting bombs under Prison officers cars Police and Military were common. We had attacks including blowing up a Hotel in England at a Political conference narrowly missing the Prime Minister. Soldiers on Parade with horses blown up etc. So in England not even Northern Ireland you were a target. Now regarding the SAS and SBS i don't have definitive knowledge but I think it's always been the case of being very low key and secretive not wearing Uniform off camp since their inception in WW2. They touch on differences here in culture I served in a Ordinary Unit nothing Special however we had one guy go for SAS selection word got back that he passed but no one saw him again. I did serve in a Conflict anti Terrorist situation in a defence capacity. I saw the SAS go out by Helicopter do their thing and come back. I occasionally saw guys on camp who you guessed were but never any Uniform . Like the guy said they all do the same job but just differences. It's worth noting that from inception during WW2 our SAS and SBS were constantly somewhere around mostly covert dealing with terrorists and being involved in the last I call it Colonial Countries. This gentleman was a Royal Marine Commando before SBS most applicants are ex Marines all Marines are Commandos.The training for them is 9 months to get there Green beret before specialist training so I think all capable of going forward to volunteer for SBS if they wish. Respect to these guys I did my bit but just basic soldering but to do what they do it's got to be a full mental will and commitment. Cheers 🇬🇧

British military were targeted in the UK as he mentioned. Terrorism in UK was a thing. Certain parts of central London had bins removed as the IRA used them to plant bombs. Pubs frequented by military were bombed. The Marines band were blown up. More recent years have seen religious extremists taking knives out to kill people- most famously Lee Rigby was killed because he was a squaddie. So Brit military tend to be a little more cautious and were banned from travelling in uniform on public transport at one stage.

LOL Some of the 1st modern SF books and bios to hit the public came from Andy McNab, Duncan Falcnor, Peter de la BILLIERE and John "Lofty" Wiseman lol Iv seen pics of Uk and Canadian SOF with their NVGs blurred out on their helmets because their governments didn’t want them seen… LOL those particular NVGs like the L3s and AN/PVS-21s are damn near 20 years old and completely outdated in terms of what’s available today. Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan had on Canadian JTF-2 operator Dallas Alexander on his podcast not long ago, and the Canadian government demanded the episode be pulled over pics of gear being shown.. All gear the US has had for decades lol… Shawn said later “that it’s kinda pathetic”

@@ScrubbersGhost .. Is that why US JSOC has killed/captured more HVT leadership within Al Qaeda and ISIS, and rescued more hostages over the past 20 years then Uk, Aussie, NZ or Canada (combined?) Name one HVT in the same leadership tier as Saddam, Bin Laden, Abu Musab Al Zaraqawi, Abu Sayef, Al Bagdadi, Anwar Alliwaki or Qasem Soleimani that UK SF or intelligence have take off the battlefield since 9/11? 😂😂
