In this episode of The Debrief, former 22 SAS Trooper Big Phil Campion speaks to Ian 'Dilksy' Dilkes.
Born in Leicester and a keen sportsman, Dilksy began to find trouble as a teenager, and realised the Army was his way out of that path. Nudged to join the Royal Engineers to ensure he learnt a trade, Ian completed his training as a bricklayer before completing P Company, and then his Parachute Regiment Jumps Course, and joining 9 Parachute Squadron Royal Engineers. His 24 year army career spanned 2 UN postings to Cyprus, a Kosovo deployment, 3 tours of Afghanistan & 1 Iraq tour. During his career, Dilksy made his way to MOD Chicksands and became part of the team that delivers Resistance To Interrogation training to the UK Special Forces & RAF Pilots, and developed the process by learning from previously captured hostages and personnel. Dilksy has appeared on 5 seasons of Channel 4's 'Who Dares Wins' programme as a key part of the interrogation team, and is also a serving Firefighter.
Dilksy is an ambassador for EFECTIV Nutrition, and is completing a 100 Mile charity walk to raise funds for Felix to enjoy a family holiday after a series of devastating medical & personal incidents.

Mate, your podcasts are absolute comedy gold. I don't think they're as funny to non military listeners, but current and ex forces can see so much that resonates in the recollections. I was howling on the train to work!! As with everything, it's not so funny when you're in and doing it, but piss yourself laughing in retrospect!! I wonder how many have the same outlook as me? I detested it sometimes when I was in, but happy to have some stories to tell in retrospect.
