you laughed at the guy using a bow and arrow. There was one British officer, Mad Jack Churchill, who used a longbow and broadsword in WW2. Check out one of the videos on him.
That's a movie waiting to happen.
He was even credited with a kill with his longbow.
He also played the bagpipes whilst approaching the enemy by boat in fog. That is the ultimate way to spook them and give yourself the mental advantage.
@@decb Yep, believe it was he was capturing groups of Germans 2+ the size of his own. They kind of just gave up from what I've seen on it
@@russbillington6291 wow. i didn't know he got a kill with it
My dad was in the SAS in the 1970s, i asked him what he was going to do when he went away - he just smiled and said "something very unpleasant"
Usually sitting in a bush doing nothing ,vast majority of missions were just recon (Usually in very dodgy places)
Terrorists in Nairobi interrupted a SF’s cuppa. He went in with jeans and trainers on. The terrorists had a horrific day. React to that. Just one guy with balls of steel. ✊🇬🇧.
Fun fact. An SAS soldiers gun jammed while attacking a cave system alone. He ended up using his breaching hammer to kill all the enemies. When they found him he had several bullet wounds and was covered in blood and brain mater not his own.
He received a Victoria cross for that action, if my memory serves me right.
A Gurkha Guardsman, who's name escapes me at the moment.
You simply don't fuck with Gurkha's, end of, Fact, or it's game over...no questions.
@@millsbomb007 my great grandfather served alongside Gurkha's, some of the stories he told were mind blowing. Gurkha's are one of the most brutal types of soldiers he ever met, yet they were fiercely loyal and humble.
I stopped lacing my shoes in a criss cross pattern because of his stories. The Gurkha's found it to be a bad omen, and would sneak up on fellow soldiers as they slept and cut the laces of any who had cross laced boots.
@@petrolhead0387 back in the 80's anyone who had crossed laced laces were shunned by us. Totally agree, just ask Run DMC
@@NiSiochainGanSaoirse Love the Ghurkas
You most watched the Nairobi attack when a SAS save over 700 people and he wasn't in duty. He was so calm it is amazing
Don’t mess with the SAS 💯🏴🇬🇧👍
Yup the Swedish Astronomical Society can be brutal and you don't want to know what the Surfers Against Sewage make you do.
Interesting you put up flag of st George - sas is and always has been disproportionately Scottish
@@chubbyhmmm7328 It I believe is rounded... Scottish, of course along with Welsh, Northern Irish and also English ;)
@@chubbyhmmm7328 how would you even know this lol, this figures aren’t released and when you go through selection you’re not even asked what nationality you are it’s just British.
A lot of the forces in general though are northern that’s true but there’s way more northern English people than Scottish (this isn’t fact just what I’ve noticed by accents and knowing them) probably just due to the population difference, Scotland may have a higher % though.
FYI, the SAS badge is not a winged dagger, it is the legendary sword Excalibur with wings.
Near where I live is a place called the brecon beacons, they often do their three day ex there. There are stories from people who live around there, especially little isolatated sheep farms, about missing washing, food gone from the fridge, find that someone was sleeping in one of the animal pens. I've even been told that sometimes they leave note asking not to ring the police or the base because getting arrested by the villige copper isn't a great look.
When on a military course an old friend of mine was there who had gone into the SAS. At the end of the course he said I should go for selection as he said I had what it takes.
I said no thanks for 2 reasons, 1. I know my own limitations and 2. I am not fucking crazy! 😉👍😜
UK equivalent to ISA is the SRR ) special reconnaissance regiment). Note the SBS (Special Boat Service) who are twins to the SAS but work more in maritime missions. I believe you can join the SEALs from civilian life but SAS/SBS are mostly either paratroopers or marine commandoes - two of the toughest basic training units worldwide.
SAS training is so intense especially phase 1, which they guy on the vid down played a bit, people have died during it
3 last year from the reserves
Only 20 since 1984
@@tjbriggs-price9726 only 20 ? 🤣 20 whole people have died during training that testifies how intense it is
@@millitaryofficial913 dont know why its funny 20 probably more now service people have died
@@tjbriggs-price9726 you make no sense I’m not laughing at the deaths I’m laughing at your stupidity to say 20 deaths is a little amount of deaths
Remember when I was little having about 30 SAS sleeping in the back garden after a party my parents through. They are a unique breed and very loyal
The SAS often conduct training exercises up here in the Highlands (of Scotland). Every now and then there's a funny wee report of a dog walker or hill walker absolutely bricking it when they're in the middle of nowhere enjoying the peaceful wilderness one second, and the next second they're surrounded by a squad of SAS who appeared out of nowhere and used them as a training target.
Live close to Brecon Beacons , the stories the locals will tell you is funny as f**k
Apparently during training for the SAS there was a test where you had to climb Mount snowdon and get back down in a set time, one soldier broke his leg on the way up but carried on and only missed the time limit by a minute or two and still got rejected
pretty sure its the fan dance, not snowdon
@@cheasepriest you are absolutely right the mountain is Pen y fan situated in the Brecon Beacons and is part of the Fan dance course
"wouldn't even get past phase 1"
mate, wouldn't even get past jumping out of the truck properly to even start 😂🤦♀️
No matter _WHAT_ Americans may claim during banter battles, their incredible special forces units are good, but not _quite_ as good as the British S.A.S.
I know it hurts lads, but it's the truth.
You should react to SAS: Who Dares Wins, they get regular people to do SAS training to see if they can pass. Great show!
Love that show ,especially the celebrity one.
I was gunna say the same thing I think he would love the show
Nope! Never watch that show for anything to do with the sas, other than what the ds say about their service, and depending on who's talking, because most were sbs, you are basically watching a combo of para and commando training.
Such a horrible show! It's nothing like actual training! They wouldn't be able to get away with showing the actual training simply for all the complaints they would receive.
@@BurningFlame08 probably the closest thing to the training that we are able to watch though. The ex SAS members are in control of the course. So they probably did their best with what they were allowed to do.
It definitely won’t say “Chips” on the Crisp packet lol
On average one soldier every two years has died during SAS selection in Wales alone. Since 1984 20 soldiers have died in Wales during fitness and endurance tests.
Nothing to do with the training, they were after our 🐑 so we killed them.
The youngest British soldier to die in WW2 was a very young boy named Reginald Hamilton Earnshaw. He was just 14 years 5 months old.
It's fair to assume here, he probably lied about his age.
thanks for that bit of history didn't know that what a proud and brave young boy he must have been
There was also a British soldier named Sidney Lewis who was 12 when he joined and he fought in the battle of the Somme in 1916 aged just 13. He partook in one of the bloodiest battles in that region. He didn't die though thankfully but I'm sure there were other's that could potentially have been younger that also lied about their age. I find it hard to believe their officer's didn't know their age which is probably why we don't hear about the ages of some of our fallen. Still they were extraordinarily brave young men who put their lives on the line for our country
My grandfather was 16 when his brother was killed in Africa, he was very angry and joined the army in 1942. He told us many, many stories that were backed up by his fellow veteran's as a fair few were from the same town. Some stories would keep me, my brothers and cousins awake at night, but that was war. B
My wife's grandfather was 15 when he joined the royal navy in ww2 boy sailors were commonplace then many no doubt younger than 15, a documentary on HMS hood mentioned the boy sailors who went down with their ship, out of a crew of over 1500, only 3 men survived.
@@smogthehorse9409 that's crazy my, grandfather was kicked out of the army and was put in the Royal navy as punishment near the end of the war. One ship he was on was kept as his nickname until he passed and is on his gravestone today. I joined the Royal navy when I was 18 and he was extremely unhappy with my choice, I then joined the army after my 3 years. Been to many places around the world, seen my own horrors.
Watch the attached youtube clip to see what the intense training produces. A terror attach in Nairobi 2 years ago was "attended" by a single SAS member
Pretty sure the SAS doesn't have an amphibious section, that is the SBS that is recruited from the Royal marine commandos
Correct!
Each squadron has a boat troop who specialise in amphibious insertion using boats and diving techniques. Both SAS and SBS have done the same selection since around 2000. The SBS primarily specialise in amphibious operations but they do have similar skills to the SAS and operate on vehicles similarly to the SAS mobility troops.
I think now both the SAS and SBS recruit from across all three UK armed forces, where previously the SBS recruited solely from the Royal Marines.
These men deserve the deepest respect.
Difference between seals and say. Sas are also trained to work alone where seals concentrate on team work 1 sas can do what a seal team can do for example
That’s because the S.A.S are literally some of the best soldiers on the planet
Absolutely incorrect, SAS normally work in close teams (perhaps 4, or 8), each with specialised knowledge of a particular skill, while having higher than average of knowledge of all the other specialised abilities all the other members. SAS and SEALS can't really be compared directly, they operate under different conditions. A more suitable comparison would be SEALS with SBS, but as far as elite level SBS are very much above SEALS. SBS been invovled with covert mission since second world war, and often forgotted special force, but they like it like that.
@@millsbomb007 did you not see how an sas soldier just 1 took down a whole airport and an army
@@alfiebulbeck-young8524 not literally....they are. All worlwide special forces are based around the SAS.
@@millsbomb007 Do you not know what "literally" means?
They're already trained soldiers when you go into the SAS they go from other regiments.
They also remain member's of their regiment while in the SAS, same as the army air corps.
@@peterbrown1012 Why is a soldier transferred to the AAC still ‘officially’ still listed as a member of their original unit? You can even direct-entry into the Army Air Corp.
@@slightlysober8824 Prince Harry was in the AAC while still being in The Household Cavalry (Blues and Royals) You have to have had 2 years service before being attached to the AAC.
You should check out the SAS raid on the Iranian Embassy in London in the 80s this was broadcasted across the world live.
This was the first and only time an elite special force was caught live on TV
I remember watching that live (shit, showing my age now!)
once the storming of the embassy, they went back to the holding site and carried on watching the world snooker final drinking tea with rich tea biscuits. In the same room was the then Prime minister Margaret Thatcher.
@@stephenholland132
Me too and i was in awe.... 👍
@@millsbomb007 no they didn't, the snooker had finished so they asked who won.
@@jizzmonkey9679 well the documentary in which they featured (deades later), they much have been lying then.
SAS training is so intense that recruits have died doing it mad really
There's a book called the one that got away by Chris Ryan.. if you're interested in the SAS this is a must read.. also one called bravo two zero by Andy mcnab about the same mission from a different view.. unbelievable how tough these guys are
Recommending a book,lol.
The teens today dont read,they absorb headlines and movie stars in capes.
@@TheCornishCockney they're not all like that dude, some of them aren't dissimilar to us
Both books have been heavily discredited by others who served.
More like a semi fiction rather than factual.
We have some very bad ass people protecting us and I am proud to be British x
My brother joined the army at 16 and left at 23 I think? He’s 30 now. After watching this geez I’m proud of him. He was in Afghanistan
deep down inside my heart fills with pride
The jungle training takes place in the jungles of Borneo & Belize
3 weeks of snakes insects. Heat and trapping & prepping food.
All the fun of the 🇬🇧 SAS 🤣👍
Dont know much about the SAS but my job some years ago had some of our trainees getting insentive training from an SBS guy.
They didnt just do better in a field gun competition against the matalots .They creamed them
You should have a look at 'Operation Barras - SAS Rescue Mission', one of the largest SAS operations that we know of.
Hey JT, please react to the Iranian embassy siege , you can see the true metal of these SAS soldiers there, it's remarkable my friend.
Yes the real thing please JT....not the cartoon version that's on UA-cam please but the actual footage that was filmed live
Just so you know, i think you meant to say mettle instead of metal
@@michael_177 your right lol! My apologies for the spelling error.
@@alistairgalt6529 i felt like an asshole pointing it out so thanks for taking it well
@@michael_177 no problem at all mate 👍
I believed all SAS candidates have to be from other military units
Minimum of two years Service before you can apply for SAS selection.
Not to mention that the delta force and navy seals ask the SAS to train them
The Delta Force are based on our SAS/SBS. SEALS are the only SF to recruit straight off the street. Delta, like our SF have to be regulars, ideally from Army regiments or the RAF Regiment.
I think I'm a hero if I manage to brush my teeth and do the shopping on a Saturday morning.
if you go and fail you still sing it from the rooftops as you tried and were accepted to try
I was in the royal signals,i went to the wrong dorm not knowing the SAS dorm with some lads we walked in, put our gear down, and noticed other gear in the corner of the room a knife was around my neck and the other lads grabbed by their arms
They asked us what we doing here,we explained we made a mistake while the knife was on my skin I started laughing and said if I had that knife on your neck you would not be here right now .
He took the knife away told us to fuck off ,i turned round and said thanks for the surprise party .
Few days past i went in my dorm after passing there was a package on my bed i looked in ,it was the very knife that was on my neck with a phone number to call if i wanted to join.
classic fairbairn-sykes knive. did you go for selection?
@@millsbomb007 no sir i was interested working on the communication equipment
as when I was young enjoyed cb radio I had a cobra 148 gtl dx with 10,000 channels which inspired me to go for the signals
I was a good runner and never had a problem with either eating or not eating and working under pressure
I came top in all aspects of the army and map reading including stars etc
I can get to a-b without using a compass had some good times
but I kept the knife it is in my attic ,you can screw the top off and put a needle and cotton in the handle
the number must be waring off by now
@@XENONEOMORPH1979 nice to know you still have the knife. little fun fact for you....(not special forces related per say)....But the current Superman actor, has a brother who is a Major in the Royal Marine Commando's. The selection for an officer from civvy to Passing out, takes 16 months of basic training.
@@XENONEOMORPH1979 Royal Marines was established 112 years before US got their indepedence (with big help from the French
@@millsbomb007 they did get help but we still got the white house lol , eventually we trained the American to be marines .
I'm from South Wales and there is a reason it's used for SAS training. The terrain is difficult and varied.
Helped that we are just over the hill from Hereford as well.
About 5 years ago we went through a freak weather phenomenon where it was hot in England 😲 Anyway a soldier died on the peaks doing a 40 mile march
A pal of mine, a physically very imposing bloke, his father was a second world war SAS instructor and they both went to an SAS reunion. Some of the men talked with my pal and told him that he had them in tears, he worked them so hard. One of the men said something out of order and his father hit him so hard that he went straight through the canvas side of the lorry they were travelling in. Tough men in tough days, you won't find many of them on the streets now.
I have been working in Sennybridge camp in Wales were SAS selection takes place they were finishing a 40 mile run and fire their weapons on a 100 mtr range then clean ther weapons, I was the running the Armoury for my Royal Irish Company and a squadron of 3 Sqdn
RAF Regiment, the guys on selection were using the old SLR L1A1 they never seen it before one of the Direction Staff (SAS Training Wing) I heard the DS staff yelling my name they both knew me and told me they would RTU the guys on selection if I gave them hints to strip their SLRs I still haven't a clue who they were I have seen them since and they knew me very well .
People die during the training on a semi-regular basis, I take my hat off and salute anyone who has passed any part of the SAS training, it's a test of physical and mental fortatude.
My uncle was 16 when he signed up, he retired as a Major and even worked with the U.N designing protection for military jeeps/trucks in Iraq & Afghanistan.
Us Brits have our own version of the Intelligence Support Activity (ISA) unit its called the Special Reconnaissance Regiment (SRR) and is part of UK Special Forces (UKSF) alongside the SAS and SBS.
Hi JT
One of you Wales fans here.🏴
The next thing you should react to is a programme on Channel 4 (in the Uk) called SAS Who Dares Wins where members of the public go through the SAS training and each week maybe one may leave voluntarily or they may be kicked out for not being tough enough. It is a real eye opener to what the real soldiers go through, it is exhausting just to watch and scary for the things they are put through.
Without a doubt, your British themed tattoo should be of Sir Roger Moore, wearing a bowler hat, standing in front of Buckingham Palace, eating a cucumber sandwich.
In the rain.
Standing next to an Aston Martin DB9
Or a bunch of kids drinking strongbow in a bus stop.
There is only one law in the British Military, DON’T GET CAUGHT!
FYI, it is not a winged dagger, it’s is Excalibur with wings.
The training is hard, I saw a guy doing Sas selection die in Brecon. (I was walking on the mountain not doing selection)
yep a few people have sadly died during selection they have had an issue a few years ago when they couldn't get enough people through
I remember hearing about that on the news a few years ago. Was it an unusually hot summer and they became dehydrated or something?
@@jenniedarling3710 Yeah they lost two guys on the same selection I think but they weren't the first but I think the rules/law has changed now to prevent any further loss of life.
@@jenniedarling3710 yeah it was, 3 soldiers died that day of heat exhaustion. The lad I saw was 500 metres from a cool mountain stream but probably wouldn't have been allowed to go near it as there are families picnicing and hikers.
Nice of you to come to his aid...
I was in an army hospital when an SAS Trooper was brought in. The story was that he'd been too quick firing a mortar and put a second bomb on top of another. They blew up taking his hand with it.
When he'd recovered and they were fitting him with a prosthetic he was asked if he wanted any special attachments. He asked for one that would let him fire a rifle.
A chap living next door to me was ex army, he'd told me the regiment he'd joined. It was only when I saw a photo that I discovered he'd been with the SAS.
Anyone who volunteers the information that he'd served with the SAS it's pretty well guaranteed that he didn't.
Please note 14:32 this is not a dagger . This sword is Excalibur the sword of King Arthur .
I don't know about that but apparently the design was supposed to be a flaming sword but the Taylor/Seamstress in the local bizarre in Egypt didn't do a particularly good job and the flames looked more like wings than flames. So the emblem became known as winged dagger instead..
They do the march in the Brecon Beacons. They call it 'The Fan dance'as it goes over 'Pen Y Fan'. The highest hill in the area.
SAS set up by David Sterling during WW2. They were in North Africa, they were expected to nick most of their equipment, which they did, including a piano!! What use a piano had in a theatre of war I haven't figured out.
Think that may well have a reference to 'the piper playing the tune'. bag pipes weren't available so they nicked the next best thing. well sort of!
the piano was a good way to boost the morale of the soldiers simply by hearing music in a warzone gives soldiers a boost and reminds them that after its over they will return home to enjoy the simple things in life
It was to unwind in their camp, which was freshly stolen from the aussies whilst they went up to the line.
I like what you say at the end of your vid my nan use to say something similar "there is enough hurt and pain in this life if your going to add anything add some love make some laugh or smile" she lived to the age of 83 so some wisdom.
Not sure if you would be able to find a video on the Gurkha regiment but that would be worth a watch. They are Nepalese people who serve with the British Army. My husband worked with a Gurkha regiment in Canterbury, Kent. They are amazing people & I’m glad they are on our side.
Our two Countries are closer than I thought. Welcome to my family JT ❤️🇬🇧
There’s hard, double hard and then hard AF.! Glad 🇬🇧&🇺🇸 are allies 👍🏼
They have done tv shows showing people trying to pass a version of SAS training. The interrogation part was what I thought was worse because it’s not some guy screaming In your face, they come with simple friendly questions but if you answer anything you’re out
The SAS used to do their training where I lived in North Wales. It was a quiet and very small village, but we had chinooks etc passing by every couple of weeks. And we'd stumble across guys in training on a walk along the beach... We were told that they had to hide themselves from all us public, and if they were seen then they failed. We kinda got used to the creepy looking camouflaged men in the sand dunes during certain times in the year, and pretended we didn't see them lol. Sounds freaky, but it was just what it was lol
"look at my feet! they're huge!" 😂 had me cracking up
I used to live in the 'Beacons' as we call them and regularly saw guys in fatigues trekking uo and down the mountains.... My mum always said when I asked who they were 'they are the soldiers'.... As I grew older I realised she meant they are THE Soldiers......
Both the S.A.S and their Royal Navy counterparts S.B.S were formed 80 years ago. All potential recruits to UK S.F. are already serving members of the armed forces the British Army or the Royal Marines.
In UK you can go to junior leaders school at 15 then graduate to the army at 17.
Me: yes, I have nearly completed the third phase of sas training, I am one of the toughest people on the planet and nothing can harm me
Female sas trainer: lol you got a small ding dong
Me: *cries*
there are no women in the sas
@@lewishammond3336 women have been allowed to join the British SAS since 2018
@@labradorlady5537 yes but there are none, there aren't even any female royal marines...trust me i know
@@labradorlady5537 yes but none can pass the training, the SAS refuse to drop the physical standards (and rightly so there's no justice and certainly no social justice in war) the truth is their is such a thing in humans called sexual dimorphism and it's not sexist to point that out all you have to do is look at the Olympics the slowest male long distance runners or sprinters are on average faster than the fastest women's times long jump, high jump, weightlifting etc are the same. And that's just the physical side, also mentally women's greatest mental strength is they have more stable minded attitudes and compassion and co operation minded approach to things which is great and a real strength for curtain things, however the SAS want coiled springs someone willing and able to kill a child civilian if the mission deems it necessary, and men are more programmable for that sort of thing due to men being more naturally violent on average (due to a young healthy man having eight times the testosterone as necessary at any one point circulating around the blood). However as we all know there are exceptions to every rule and I have no doubt a few of these exceptions will trickle through in time but they will remain exceptions and this is simply because of the BIOLOGICAL differences between male and female humans and not social constructs which yes can be and should be broken down. My wife is a feminist and she agrees with me on this point she also worries about women troops being captured by enemy soldiers, two women were captured along with four men in a supply convoy in Afghanistan, all were rescued a few days after, the men had been beaten pretty badly and kept in a hut, the two women.....let's just say what happened to them was inhumane and leave it at that.
My uncle John was in the SAS I sent him the original video to this a while back and he picked out a few things that he never saw and that was one of them. He did pass his training in 1988 though and the instructors were allowed to get more physical back then though, he had two big fellas kicking the crap out of him if they have had to change it now to stress positions and women brought in to laugh at your junk that would be a piece of cake compared to what he went through.
For an English/British tattoo it's got to be an English Bulldog with the Union Jack wrapped round it
The bulldog does not represent Britain to anyone outside England.
@@iriscollins7583 It was in response to his comment of "Im getting an England, British themed tatoo"
Only regiment along with SBS, to use live ammo for every exercise. Never blanks. Heard part of their training is for 1 member to sit in a chair in the dark, with 2 human cut out's either side of him. In burst one of his fellow SAS members and unleashes the clip in short bursts (never like in the movies) hitting the cardboard cut outs.
I think Maggie Thatcher actually sat in that chair. The SAS made a strategic cock up that day
Your tattoo could be based on the design on the back of the pound coin that was introduced a few years ago. It has the plants that are the emblems of the four parts of the UK.
People always think special forces are 6ft plus giants maybe that's true for navy seals I'm not sure but not the SAS or SBS most are below 5ft 9 and not massive in build its all endurance the big lads usually drop out on the hills phase. Even when probation is up you still train everyday it never ends you could say the easy part is selection the rest is oiling the machine.
Did you know, JT, that according to the subtitles they put on your reaction , you're getting an English STEAM tattoo? Good luck with that!
I'm loving the 3 lions hat my man
Come on England 🏴
If you want to see what these guys can do watch Hunting Chris Ryan. Its on youtube, a few episodes. He is on his own and is chased by a hunter team including us navy seals and british paratroopers. Seriously, watch the jungle one.
Gonna have a look for this myself....I've read so many chris ryan books but never knew he had this out there too, thanks for recommending bro! 👍
Phase 1 isn’t just walking up and down “hills”, it’s called the “Fan Dance” for a reason, if in doubt Google it.
I have to agree with Alistair Galt check the Iranian embassy siege you will see just how good the SAS is
See of you can find a UK programme called "SAS, who dares wins". It might not be one you can react to as I believe it was channel 4. But I guarantee you'll love to watch
You cannot go to war at 16 in the UK... You can join the Services at 16 (Juniors) with parents consent.. At 18 you are then sent to a regular unit... Oh and btw you don't have a watch to know when the yomp is over, and on occasions to see what you are made of, they just say you missed the lorry to go back since you were late, and told to walk back... (even though you are in time) and if you don't just shrug your shoulders and start walking back... you fail..
The originals were the SBS.
And then there's the SBS, who were formed before the SAS, and are (very, very arguably) physically and mentally tougher, because they operate on and in water.
Actually, at one point they tried to determine who was best, and were evenly matched, so decided to settle it by baking cakes, which the SAS won.
SBS are unbelievable, units can be deployed from a submarine, reaching the shore without breaking the surface. Check out the the "Cockleshell heroes"
Hahahaha your brilliant love from Scotland 🏴
The United Kingdom Special Forces (UKSF) is a directorate comprising the Special Air Service, the Special Boat Service, the Special Reconnaissance Regiment, the Special Forces Support Group, 18 Signal Regiment and the Joint Special Forces Aviation Wing, as well as the supporting No. 47 Squadron.
althought techinically not a special force, the pathfinder's work closely with the SAS etc...
our SAS may be small in numbers but we ALWAYS get the job done! ;) xx
We the brits had a task force orange during WW11, it was called the LRDG
What a great video JT loved it keep up the great work 👍 love ❤️ the hat boom
I meet one of the 1st SAS commanders from ww2. He told me how he parashooted behind German lines and captured 3000 German solders just with a radio to British bombers planes. It's in his book Scottish he was.
There is a 2 or 3 part series which is the story of the SAS during WW2 by Ben MacIntyre I think his name is
My great great uncle was 15 when he ran off and joined up for WWI. He didn’t see his 18th birthday he was killed a passchendaele
I agree with Catherine,you definitely need to watch SAS.Who Dares Win, brilliant program 🤓
Ollie Ollerton has a great Podcast explaining parts of the selection. In the escape and evasion phase, he actually failed the 1st time and had to do it again on retrying selection, he said you get a full search, holes and all for any thing that can help you cheat. He ended up swallowing some £ in condoms with a few other guys doing it too, giving them a good £80 for food and snacks.
In field he then got rid of the ww2 style clothing they give you and found a civvi bomber jacket and hid with a few guys in a house that was having construction done to it. When it came to going for a shop run, he got to the shop and collected together £80 worth of snacks and soft drinks etc, and went to buy it, the people of the area are supposed to dob you in if they see a selection phase soldier but they really act like a sort of 'resistance' haha so the guy behind the till just winked and carried on ringing up the snacks. Before he left the shop though, a big truck full of the hunter force showed up outside the shop and the soldiers came in looking for food for themselves and as they passed him he greeted them in a bad Welsh accent and left the store before they could have a good look. To his relief, they gave him the look of 'stupid civvies' as he passed. He quick timed it to the house with the construction and when he got there the workers were doing their thing and he knew this truck was going to be coming that way so after dropping off the shopping in the house, he went back outside and with the workers just picked up a shovel and started shovelling some stuff to make it look like he was working. This was when the same truck came passed the house slowly as if looking for any people hiding, Ollerton then just shouts at the truck "you alright boys!" And the truck continues, he could only think to himself that they must have thought, "ah that's that stupid civvie from the shop".
😂 its a great podcast, well worth a listen. Its the Andy Rowe Show with Ollie Ollerton.
I did something similar. I'm from about 30 minutes, from the training area I got my mum to pick me and my mate up 🤣
That hat genuinely suits you , looks proper dapper on ya!!
No such thing as cheating, just winning or losing, living or dying. And yes, when you sign on that dotted line you have given the military the right to legally torture you. Its called Crown immunity.
6:48 You said "call of doo-dee". Do you need the toilet? Loving the vids JT. Me and my boy are in stitches watching them. TY
Back then there was mandatory military service in that every young man above the age of eighteen had to serve at least one term in one of the armed forces.
I have just discovered your channel it's been keeping me entertained all day, I love it.
If you haven't already, the royal navy field gun competition may be worth a reaction . My wife's driving is another ! Another thing to look at is trooping the colour when some arse fired blanks at her majesty while she was on horse back, her calm composure is inspirational and the reaction of one of the guards rules .
And the Royal family.
I only know one guy who passed, there were 90 candidates 2 passed the course.
U definitely have to be emotionally switched off to get through this or be able to disconnect feelings when u need to easily
Love the hat mate, welcome to the barmy army :D
I did 20 weeks British army basic infantry training in 1984 at 17 then did 2 years in Northern Ireland in 85 and 86. Then did desert storm in 91. Had a mate join the SAS from basic training he used to sing to us when we went running. He was not right in the head.
There’s a story about a group of recruits dying during training for the sas, it happened a few years ago - look it up, dude - those guys are hardcore
What you got to understand is...yes its legal torture but if your captured by the enemy they won't hold back, that training received in the sas is solely to prepare you for the possibility of being captured.
