@voiic Hi there. I was in SBS, as an S3. Which is a signaller. Have a look at 264 Sig Squadron, and it will give you a better understanding of the role is was in. Like all the lads in SBS we are Royal Marines Commandos. The Marines who carry out the role of what is typically known as SBS are SC3's-Swimmer Canoeists. I hope that it makes sense to you.

@@dendemano I cannot thank you enough for your sacrifices sir, you guys are the reason why we can sleep peacefully every night. Though I have a question and its okay if you do not answer because I respect the need of secrecy for such occupation. This is my question: Do SBS operate in land environments(urban, rural, mountain, jungle, arctic, and desert) because i read that they are primarily maritime operators in counter terrorism, direct action, and hostage rescue?

@@Charles-nc4zj Hi . Sorry for the delay in responding. SBS, mainly recruit from the Royal Marines, and you are correct in your assumption that they are predominantly focused on maritime anti-terrorism. Although, they are trained in all of the aforementioned disciplines. C Sqadron and M Squadron are conventional and anti-terrorism troops, respectively. The SBS are quite literally capable of operating in any theatre of operations, but do specialise in what they are most commonly known for. They are smaller in size than their SAS counter parts, who are broken down into Sabre Squadrons, where they specialise in Boat, Mountain, Air etc...... SBS, C Squadron troops will cover all of these skills. The Royal Marines have their own unit for Mountain and Arctic Warfare. The soldiers in this unit are referred to as “Mountain Leaders” in my opinion they are probably the best “bread and butter” conventional soldiers in the world. They were instrumental in the Falkland War conflict. Most people have never heard about their exploits, or even their existence. A programme on the training, their role, and the joining process can be found on BBC iPlayer. It’s called “Behind the Lines” it is slightly dated now, but does offer some insight. I have served with, and under a few of the men in the series. I hope you enjoy it. I’d be happy to hear your thoughts on the series. If and when you see it. Peace.

@@dendemano this is really interesting thank you for explaining this I'm in the army right now and find anything to do with special forces really interesting. How long did you serve in the sbs for if you don't mind me asking?

@@thomasdoy3350 Hiya Thomas. Glad to have helped. 5/6 years, between 95-2001. Regrettably, I had to leave due to a back injury, as a result of parachuting.

You think living in Bradford is bad, you should try living with my wife... Il take the jungle...

@@colinp5248 I'd take a jungle in Bradford

@B Bradfordabad

Incredible respect for the chindits 🇬🇧👍

And now look at the cut of the uk and europe in general. Their sacrifices were all in vain.

Respect 👍

The Velo In The Vale I have some idea, said with the greatest of respect for your uncle, for the Chindits and those who gave their lives. In a different war i came out at just 9 stone after 2 years and i never could sleep in a bed. So i know what you have posted as being true.

@@sirivanhoe8672 sorry to sound ignorant, but what's the significance of not being able to sleep in a bed?

Harder than nails.

Exactly no snow flakes wanted 👍🇬🇧🪖😎🤔

Yes beyond human.

Well Ard.

Because “hard lads” aren’t hard.

@@johnmc8675 It depends on what you mean when you say "hard lad". Dickheads who wear trackies and come from rough areas aren't hard, but I'm talking more about people like Ant Middleton (who was in the SBS) who you can clearly tell right off the bat that they can look after themselves and aren't to be fucked with.

It takes all types..and certain types..

I was in Manchester Airport about 8 months ago and there was a skinny lad with a metallica top and his face covered walking with a police officer armed to the teeth , they are just normal people but fucking ruthless

They have incredible mental toughness!

Shit YEAH! I did that one, too. I think it was the very first one they did. '76 or '77, I forget. That was the fittest I've ever been after a month or so on that course.

Whereabouts in Malaysia, pakeha?

@@goodputin4324 mainly between Kluang and Mersing in the Endau Rompin jungle. Probably spent 9 months of the year in the J. Major exercises with all the ANZUK allies up in the Penang district though. Loved it

SF jungle training is a lot worse than regular.

The jungle doesn’t discriminate! It’s brutal whatever force you’re training for. And all forces training will have you blowing out of your hoop in the most luxurious environment. The op deserves our thanks and respect.

@@jamiereed9395 yeah but SF will go in with nothing regs will have ration packs etc there is a difference pal

You wouldnt be far off. Price is based off of John McAleese of the S.A.S

You edited your comment because you were exposed for lying

@TJ Teknik Right. No worries with polar bears and frostbite.

And? I feel like everything you go through during sas selection, someone inspecting your arse crack and fanny is the least of their worries

Women lack the muscle mass to operate in extreme environments and regular environments as well. Blokes might be compelled to save the female at the detriment of the team or mission. However, some females could prove very valuable and useful in certain circumstances. Simply put, men are more ruthless and stronger. Don’t want to see a woman operator getting captured and tortured either.

One eye open at all times.

It made your forget your adult name!

@@MichaelKingsfordGray yes my friend and that way I can say what I like 😉

@@pac3198 Infantile Coward.

@@phililpb lol. Good answer 😂

The indigenous people are able to build decent shelters, fires etc. They don't have to be tactical in any way. They aren't moving to different areas in the day and having to conceal themselves or stag on at night. They grow up in the environment and have developed methods of dealing with since birth.

The smart ones build relationships and connections while still serving. Once out, they start making the real money as advisers, mercenaries and heads of security details. They are the best and as a result, the cream of the crop for certain jobs.

They are on silly money with little outgoings. Its no different than any other job. Choosing not to invest in homes and other assets is on the person who spunked the cash away. Not to mention what the George fella above said.

Ok

A Mf SAS don’t usually say they were in the special forces mate

It's something they're made to do as part of the selection process. It's normal routine.

Hard routine. Probably a 4 man op.

@@sirivanhoe8672 Nope, deadly serious. Never lie. Thats one of the things they teach you in the sas regiment. Never lie, Never surrender.

@@thirdpath2259 are you joking? You were not in the regiment.

@@cheekboy7247 I was in the speical elite servies, fought in somme, aghan,, iraq, france and eurepe.

@@thirdpath2259 you are just a troll. If you were in the sas you would know how to write english. Why did you fight in france?

@@cheekboy7247 Fought in the Deeday landings. And dont take the piss out of my handwriting, my hand got damaged in an enemy nuke attack in Iraq

about 45 to 55 thousand pound a year depending on rank

Leave no trace of anything behind for the enemy to find.

Your body waste attracts insects in large quantities, which can be a tell tale that you’ve been there, for those who are tracking you.

Also if u leave a no2 you can tell if a person is ill , dehydrated, and if they have rations or living off jungle .

It's really not crap. They are all ex-SF and will have done 2 months of jungle training as part of selection, and will likely have done exercises in the environment after this. Different scorpions have different levels of toxins, so your experience is just that - your experience. The jungle can be a very dangerous place if you don't know what you're doing, and even if you do it can still surprise you. Sit on the wrong piece of ground and you risk a fer de lance or coral snake having a go. Put your hand on a tree and you will likely get impaled by 2 inch spikes growing from them. It is constantly wet and your sweat doesn't evaporate because of the humidity so dehydration is a real threat, especially as many if the water source scare filled with dead animals and rotting vegetation. After a couple of weeks your clothes are literally rotting off your body. Lots of the wildlife just wants to eat you. Fall asleep in the wrong place and you risk a dead fall landing on your head. These guys have to kip on the ground - Have you ever woken up with an army of millions of fire ants moving through your area, swarming all over you? The entire ground looks like it's moving, and they will tear horrific welts out of you. I've even been woken up by a fresh water crab(!) trying to rip off one of my eyelids in Belize. Getting lost is very easy - Satnav usually doesn't work because of the interference from the wet canopy, and land navigation is tough because you can't see landmarks through vegetation and everything looks the same. Dozens die every year in the jungle just because they got lost.

@@PaddyInf well that is the biggest load of bullshit I have ever read, have you ever been anywhere close to the jungle? Your description of the jungle is not even close You should watch what you are writing 😉 There will be many jungle bunnies reading this Just to put things straight, we did mainly 10 day patrols, also we slept on the ground , we never removed our boots or smoked, in all the time we were in the Ulu very seldom we saw a snake ( they saw us ) the jungle is what you make of it It is entirely neutral. The guys you seem to hero worship are just making money in other words Utter Bullshit. I recommend you read the book written by Freddie Spencer Chapman The Jungle is Neutral His true story. Advice: don't believe all this Crap just to add we always gave our greens to the dobi to wash after patrols sometimes replaced our canvas boots , everyone preferred to keep using our old clothes as they become more comfortable to wear. Our patrols were normally 10 days. 10 days in the jungle 4 days in Basecamp. Most of us have 2 years experience. Borneo 1965 . I have been told that the jungle in Belize is secondary, therefore hard going. Our Borneo jungle in 1965 was mainly primary I was there last year so much has now been Logged

I did exercises in Belize with my parent regiment and did it 4 times on final exercise when I was an instructor at PCBC, spending a month at a time under the canopy. I did JWIC in Brunei. I also failed my 2nd attempt at selection in TTP phase. So yes, I've done some time in the jungle. My description is exactly my experience.

@@PaddyInf who were you with. ?

@@PaddyInf Have you been to JWS Kota tingi ?

Don't watch the video then moron
