Absolutely Agree

No

@Nameless 69 The SAS are already acknowledged as the best special forces unit in the world

Bullet-Tooth Tony by who? The British government?

macfail Taft that’s some bs 😂 you have no idea what the SAS and SBS are doing and no they didn’t start and train every Spec op in the world, they just started the first. That doesn’t mean they are better than everyone at everyone it’s quite the opposite. The United States has the best everything when it comes to the military because their funding is reaching a trillion dollars. So for a small country like the UK to have “the best special special forces” in the world? That’s not possible their funding wouldn’t allow it. Now I’m not saying they aren’t capable, they are, they are incredibly capable and I would trust them to save my life. But compared to the yanks? The yanks would never let another country train their own, that doesn’t mean they don’t work together though. When you have the largest most powerful military IN WORLD HISTORY. Who do you think will hold the crown for special operations? Especially when you have the money to do anything and everything to make that man super human essentially And they share things that aren’t classified because if they were classified and displayed to the world than I bet the CIA would have something to say... I love the SAS they are badass and their accents make them even more badass they are top 10 easy, but the yanks got everyone on this one... And don’t dismiss other special operations so easy, the German KSK, French GIGN, Canadian JTF2 are all deadly as hell. Btw an American Admiral (forgot the name but I can find it) said If he had to choose one foreign Special Operations task force he would choose JTF2....that’s got something to say.

British isnt a nationality - it's the island inwhich the union of four Countries that make up the UK are situated. The countries are England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The reason why the passport says British is because the several thrones of Britian all became one over the course of a thousand years. The cultures and Countries Are still different. And only share defence and monarchy.

Hello sir, I hope to become a ground defence officer in the RAAF. I’ve got my second ROSB in September (my first was in March but I won my appeal due to the coronavirus) and I’m wondering if you recall any of the potential SF candidates being rather small in stature? I got told I was rather small for the roll of GDO and I’m working my way up to bulk up. I’m about 5’9/5/10 and 71kg at the moment (planning to reach 74kg by September and 78kg by the years end) I’m also wondering how was your personal interactions with your commanding officer while serving in the ADF? Cheers

@@darrenmullan2975 @Darren Mullan hey mate, I am not sure anymore what the BMI is for entry, but if you meet the minimum requirements for height to weight, don't put too much emphasis on bulk, by all means get to a good weight and gain strength, but endurance and fitness will serve you much better. About the CO's, well some are fantastic leaders and understand how things are run and get the most from thier crews by respecting them, others are more in it for themselves to climb the ladder, most CO's are good. Looking back now, the one piece of advice I will give is do not get a serious injury that prevents you from being fit for service, if becomes a chronic problem, you get referred to mec review board for discharge. I won't elaborate here, but I encountered a serious issue in corruption over my injury that I had to fight tooth and nail just to have defence policies and procedures adhered to. Unfortunately it was a particular base that was systemic in bullying and corruption at the time, I won my case in the end, but it cost me dearly emotionally and I ended up at the minister of defence in the end to quell the lack of professionalism at that time. It was much worse than that, but I won't elaborate anymore. I essentially I became in inside whistleblower on the matter and it was in need of serious attention and change. Please don't let that scare you, because every other posting I had was not remotely similar and I will go as far to say, some postings and one particular one, I had the time of my life, some of the best guys you could work with and be around. The horror posting had a huge 'click' problem and if you weren't in it, you were treated very differently. I don't do 'clicky' BS, I am my own man and I respect each person the same personally and deal with them professionally as I would anyone else. Teamwork does not happen with people like that around, they want to inflate their ego's and are often not very genuinely confident in themselves and choose to either hide behind rank or ride on the coat tails of thier seniors, you won't see SF boys behaving like this. I think a lot of that culture has been sorted out these days, but I would not have seen it the way I did if I was never injured 👍 In spite of my injuries and career being destroyed because of the injuries, I had some of the best experiences in my life and don't regret anything, it made me a much stronger person than I already was. I would have done 22 years this year and still have some good mates who are still in.

Thanks so much for your insight, been a great help 💪

God bless you xxxxx🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Absolute best of the best

There's some cool history you may like to know my British friends: During IWW there were italian Arditi and Austro-Hungarian Sturmtruppen, they developed in the same period because of the flexibility required for the unusual battleground of Dolomites, they were the firsts shock troops. The tactics in that time had to be changed, keep going with logorating trench war was impossible. During IIWW the world knew how a SF should look like, with british SAS and italian Xa MAS, the SAS were probably first, we don't know who was first in developing the idea, I know for sure that Xa MAS were founded in march 1941 and SAS in the same year but I don't know when (tell me if you know). Both SF tho developed separately with no influence on eachother and they probably never fought directly. After the war Italy had to dismantle this SF but redirecting the naval part of it for the titanic operations of clearing the sea from ​​underwater mines and wrecks expecially near key sites like La Spezia (the Nazis had sunk dozens of ships to block access to ports during the retreat). The Gamma Group which gathered the personnel who, in secret, had kept alive the experience gained with the assault vehicles and equipment that, following some clauses of the Paris peace treaty, the Italian Navy should no longer have. In 1952 the chief of staff of the Navy, Admiral Pecori Giraldi, commissioned Massarini to begin studying in secret the possible reconstitution of a department of underwater raiders. Some months later, COMSUBIN "Teseo Tesei" was born. Named in honor of the naval rider and inventor Teseo Tesei that sacrificed himself for the success of the attack of Malta port of July 1941 and for developing the slow-running torpedo, which allowed two operators equipped with respirators to fly it by navigating underwater, so that they could head undisturbed under the target to attack it. Before, SAS got reconstituted as a corps in 1950 and in the 70' was the first special force in the world to also specialize in counter-terrorism and hostage rescue. Other nations may say what they want, but that's the history of the special forces, SAS, SBS, COMSUBIN and 9th Col Moschin are second to none in term of history and experience. When a SF need updates on tactics and materials they come to UK or Italy, we both trained US FS and Mossad after all ;) If you want to see some cool video about some NATO TIER 1 Italian SF like SAS, here you go: 9th Col Moschin (Army) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p8ujgqd_rNGcfI0.html GOI (COMSUBIN-Navy) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qpZ8dZyGndzYoac.html GIS (Carabinieri-Army) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9-ajKqI2MXUoZs.html 4th Alpini "Ranger" (Army Alpine troops) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nq94l7mo3LWUcYU.html 17th Raiders Wing (Air Force) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fM2bl71orN2lnp8.html All those SF have "Incursore" patent (2 years training) without counting the time spent in Army, Navy or Air Force before. After this time they become "combat ready" but for taking part of actual operations they need of course more training. Some recent theaters of operations are: Balcans, Somalia,Congo, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Kurdistan, Afghanistan. The 3 most famous operations on Italian soil are the liberation of the Trani prison where the Red Panthers, linked to the Italian far-left terrorist organization Red Brigades, took control and where the GIS resolved the situation without firing a single shot, the arrest of the head of "Cosa Nostra" Totò Riina (again by GIS) and the liberation of the US general James Lee Dozier, kidnapped by the Red Brigades thanks to NOCS operators (special police force that can operate only on national soil). There are more operations but you can check for more on Wiki.

If you want EVEN more history there you go: (all information I take come from UK pages of Wiki) The symbol of the COMSUBIN is the Caiman, why? [...]Vittorio Veneto was seized the next day by the Italian Eighth Army, which was already pushing on to the Tagliamento river. Trieste was taken by an amphibious expedition on 3 November. The Italian Eighth Army troops which had managed to cross the Piave were only able to communicate with the west bank by using swimmers. The swimmers were furnished by one of the most elite assault units in Italian history - the Arditi Corps, the Caimani del Piave ("Caimans of the Piave"). [...] Fact check: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vittorio_Veneto This guy...without him, his steel balls and his friends now my main language should be Austrian, sad he had to leave Italy cuz of fukin Mussolini and fascists dogs. They fuked up Italy in IIWW. Literaly lions led by sheeps. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raffaele_Rossetti Timeline of slow-running-torpedo en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_torpedo 1909: The British designer Commander Godfrey Herbert received a patent for a manned torpedo. During World War I, it was rejected by the War Office as impracticable and unsafe. 1 November 1918: Two men of the Regia Marina, Raffaele Paolucci and Raffaele Rossetti, in diving suits, rode a primitive manned torpedo (nicknamed Mignatta or "leech") into the Austro-Hungarian Navy base at Pola (Istria), where they sank the Austrian battleship Viribus Unitis and the freighter Wien using limpet mines. They had no breathing sets and they had to keep their heads above water, and thus they were discovered and taken prisoner.[9] 1938: In Italy the "1a Flottiglia Mezzi d'Assalto" (First Fleet Assault Vehicles) was formed as a result of the research and development efforts of two men - Major Teseo Tesei and Major Elios Toschi of the Italian Royal Navy. The pair resurrected the idea of Paolucci and Rossetti. 1940: Commander Moccagatta of the Italian Royal Navy reorganised the 1st Fleet Assault Vehicles into the Decima Flottiglia MAS (Tenth Light Flotilla of assault vehicles) or "X-MAS", under the command of Ernesto Forza. It secretly manufactured manned torpedoes and trained war frogmen, called nuotatori (Italian: "swimmers"). 26 July 1941: An attack on Valletta Harbour ended in disaster for the X MAS and Major Teseo Tesei lost his life. 19 December 1941: The Decima Flottiglia MAS attacked the port of Alexandria with three maiali. The battleships HMS Valiant and Queen Elizabeth (and an 8,000-ton tanker) were sunk in shallow water putting them out of action for many months. Luigi Durand de la Penne and five other swimmers were taken prisoner. De la Penne was awarded the Gold Medal of Military Valor after the war. October 1942: Two British Chariot manned torpedoes were carried aboard the Shetland bus fishing-boat Arthur to attack the Tirpitz on Operation Title. They were swung overboard once in Norwegian waters but both became detached from their tow-hooks in a gale and the operation was a total failure.[10] 8 December 1942. An attack by three manned torpedoes from the Olterra against British naval targets was thwarted in Gibraltar. Three divers were killed by depth charges when the British harbour defence "reacted furiously" to the attack. Among the dead were Lt Licio Visintini, commander of the divers unit on board the Olterra, Petty Officer Giovanni Magro and Sergeant Salvatore Leone, from Taormina, Sicily. Leone's body was never found. Sgt Leone was awarded the Medaglia d'oro al Valor Militare and a memorial was erected in the Community Gardens in Taormina on the 50th anniversary of the attack. The memorial includes a rebuilt maiale and a description of the events, in three languages. 1-2 January 1943: British submarines Thunderbolt, Trooper and P311 took part in Operation Principal. P311 was lost en route to La Maddelena but the other two boats had some success at Palermo, launching two and three Chariots respectively. The Ulpio Traiano was sunk and the stern torn off Viminale. However the cost was high with one submarine and one chariot lost and all but two charioteers captured. 18 January 1943: Thunderbolt took two chariots to Tripoli for Operation Welcome. This was to prevent blockships being sunk at the harbour mouth, so denying access to the Allies. Again, partial success was achieved. This was the last operation in which chariots were carried in containers on British submarines, although some others followed with the chariots on deck without containers. 6 May & 10 June 1943: Italian maiali from the Olterra, now under the command of Lt Ernesto Notari, sank six Allied merchant ships in Gibraltar, for a total of 42,000 tn. September 1943: Operation Source was an attempt to destroy warships including the Tirpitz using X-class midget subs. Of the five deployed, only two were successful. Tirpitz was badly damaged, crippled, and out of action until May 1944.[11] 2 October 1943: A bigger Italian frogman-carrier, 10 metres (33 ft) long and carrying four frogmen, called Siluro San Bartolomeo, or SSB, was going to attack Gibraltar, but Italy surrendered and the attack was called off. 21 June 1944: A British-Italian joint operation was mounted against shipping in La Spezia harbour. The chariots were carried on board an MTB and the cruiser Bolzano was sunk. 6 July 1944: A German Neger-type vessel torpedoed the Royal Navy minesweepers HMS Magic and Cato.[12] 8 July 1944: A German Neger-type torpedo manned by Lt. Potthast heavily damaged the Polish light cruiser ORP Dragon off the Normandy beaches. 20 July 1944: Royal Navy destroyer HMS Isis was mined at anchor in Seine Bay. A German Human Torpedo was believed responsible.[12] 27-28 October 1944: The British submarine Trenchant carried two Mk 2 Chariots (nicknamed Tiny and Slasher) to an attack on Phuket harbor in Thailand. See British commando frogmen for more information about this attack. No manned torpedo operations in combat in any war are known with certainty after this date. 20 November 1944: The USS Mississinewa is sunk by a Japanese kaiten manned suicide torpedo. Immediate post-war period: The British Chariots were used to clear mines and wrecks in harbours. For other events, see Operations of X Flottiglia MAS and British commando frogmen. Some nations including Italy have continued to build and deploy manned torpedoes since 1945.
