I was in the SAS. I served from Call of Duty Modern Warfare 1 up to Modern Warfare 3. That's how much of badass I was!
Times have changed. We be in combat with zombies now. hahaha..
Laaaaaaaaaaame
I once met someone who claimed to be SAS. However, when i asked him about Captain Price, he had no idea. Stolen valour makes me sick.
Amateur, I was serving on the playstation 2 and 3, none of this modern stuff you kids have!!
Thought I recognised your name 😂😂😂😂 👍🏽
I served 12 years with the Royal Mail before passing selection into the Special Delivery Service. I did 3 tours of the Wolverhampton post room...but I can't say much about that.
fair play to you it's an important job.
If you did 3 tours of some parts of Wolverhampton as a postie, you deserve a medal for bravery.
I served alongside the SAS during my time in the salvation army
I served along side the Salvation Army at St Vincent’s casually voluntarily.

On a "mission"?
Underrated comment 😂😂
And thennnnnnn
I was doing a powerboat course in Poole harbour when we were overtaken by 4 large black RIBS full of heavily armed personnel, one of the guys on the course asked the instructor why they don’t adhere to the 12knt speed limit, only to be told by the instructor, “they’ve got guns and I don’t think the Harbour Master wants the conversation”! 😂
*RHIBs
@@G4x5da how come my boat is built by Ribcraft?
@@MarkN67 I’m sorry, I looked it up and apparently you have RIB (rigid inflatable boat) and RHIB (rigid-hulled inflatable boat), and they’re the same thing. It depends on what side of the pond you’re how you call it (Brits say RIB and US say RHIB).
It would have been an even more epic story if Foxy had been allowed to tell it without constant interruptions! Basics Johnny Basics 😁
Johnny is simply accommodating his biggest fan.
Himself.
Indeed. He’s learnt everything watching Joe rogan ! 🙄
doctor fox.
If only Johnny let the story flow hey 🤷♂️🙄
English bloke in France here, I genuinely ONLY know ex SAS here. One guy even claimed he helped storm the embassy, which by my calculations meant he did that when he was seven years of age.... that is one SERIOUSLY tough kid! 💪🇬🇧
Respect to all those who serve, and Happy New Year. 🏆
Those who serve who?
They are the Rothschilds private militia.
I heard about a similar episode from an X army fella I used to work with who’d been told a story by an SAS soldier. The SAS soldier and three of his SAS friends went boozing when on leave back in the UK. He’d bumped into a woman he knew in a pub and she told him her boyfriend she was out with was in the SAS. The four SAS went over to say hello and when they saw the boyfriend, looked at each other, shook their heads and shrugged. “Alright mate. We’ve just been talking to your girlfriend and she reckons you’re in the SAS” to which the boyfriend replied “well, I don’t really like to talk about it”. To this the SAS man replied “Well mate, there’s only a few hundred in the SAS, we’re four of them and we haven’t got a clue who you are”.
Lol gulp and shrivels up with fear and embarrassment
SAS boys pulled out their rulers for a measure then.
Are you sure he didn't mean Stores And Supplies ? .....
This would be hilarious if it wasn't simultaneously insulting to all those who have joined and put their lives on the line
He was probably with Scandanavian Airlines aka SAS! 😂
I was in the SAS. If it wasn’t for a dodgy knee I could have gone professional.

Lofty Wiseman was asked if he had been on the Iranian Embassy Siege. He mischievously replied, ' no, but I know a thousand men who were!'.
I could talk about my time serving the Super Army Soldiers, but it would put too many at risk
Lol tell all Kemp!!

I was in the SAS. Until my mom called me in for tea.
until you realised you say mom not mum and Americans aren't eligible.
Aside from the fact it’s clearly a joke, he could be Canadian as it’s regional there as to whether they say “mum” or “mom”. Canada being part of the commonwealth then he would be eligible for the British forces.
Bro other cities in england say mom
can you two shut up and let him finish the story
This
Yes 👍🏻
Agree
@@erevolutie always one
I could listen to him talk all day 👌
I think I’ve met the same imposter. He came into my coffee shop in Southend on sea with a a rucksack and drill boots…..clever guy because he never asked us for anything but of course we gave him lunch as he was shipping back to camp bastion etc….it’s a really long story that involves me giving him a lift later that day (by now having spoken to the Royal Marines who confirmed that he was not one of them), him leaving a notebook in my car and me contacting everyone in the notebook who also turned out to be victims of his multiple frauds. One was a British army major, one a television producer and one a prison officer from Peterborough prison where he had done time for impersonating a Royal Marine. One was also a local Help The Heroes campaigner who had lost a lot of money. I contacted the police, handed the notebook over and had a call from a military police officer a few months later to say that she had been dealing with this fool for over a decade, that he was a repeat offender and that he was now back in jail. Your story is wonderful and it’s also important to remember that people like him do real harm. I suspect he’s still out there now, probably claiming that he’s an ex marines who’s just come back from fighting in the Ukraine.
SAS and SBS pffft I’m rank 110 on call of duty so ........... I think we all know who’s the real deal here
😂😂😂😂👌✌️
I was in the SAS but I left to be an astronaut
That’s a pretty sick tattoo bro
Pathetic.

Astronut you mean ?
Btw: You can still get caught out even if you're in the Forces: I joined the RN and was under training in HMS Raleigh. So I went home on leave one day decide to have a run out on my brothers motorbike. On a dual carriageway was overtaken and pulled over by a copper on a motorbike. He wanted to check if my lights worked he said a new law had been introduced they had to work during daylight now. I said I wouldn't know I'm in the Navy (yeah I know weak) He said "How long have you been in the Andrew"? I replied " I'm not in the Andrew I'm in the Navy" he went on his way smiling, I had no idea The Andrew was a nickname for the RN I had never heard the terminology, and still hadn't for a long time after. He must have been an old school.
Have you changed your name now? It says Michael not Andrew?
My late father - WWII RN/Andrew left me with quite a few Naval 'names'
Andrew - Royal Navy
Oggin - the sea.
Ogwash - again, the sea
Deck-head - roof.
Deck - floor.
Brandy-ball - the Sun
Tin-Fish - Torpedo
Old man - C.O....
One in West Kensington, always on his mobile talking loudly about special operations, calling the Middle East to arrange a kidnapping, always over the top stories. Every time we were going to that cafe, this guy would sit at the table next to us. It was the entertainment for the day. Unfortunately, the cafe shut down a few years ago and no idea where he is gone...killed in combat maybe !
As former 216 I must’ve bumped into several regiments of ‘ex-paras’ I don’t even bother challenging them anymore.
This is priceless and I've never served, it must be 100 times funnier for those that have.
A guy in my town got called out and absolutely annihilated when he boasted he was in the SAS. I kid you not, The Daily Mail tracked him down and even did a full page spread on him back then exposing him, as he was constantly bragging about it to everyone. I've even met him.
@trancehi
Was his first name Roger?
@@grobbler1 No, his first name was Lee.
@cm. CG No. His first name was Lee, his second name began with A. I don't want to write his full name as he has already been exposed nationally.
@Cian MacGana Not at all. I met the guy who carried on the facade he was in the SAS. All complete BS. The Daily Mail called him out on it all ages ago, the wife also got embroiled, duped with it all.
"Alright, how's it been out there?"
"Completed it mate"
Anyone who says that they are somebody that they are not in any walk of life generally do not exist in the real world, in my view.
My Dad was at Arnhem WW2. When he got back he never ever left the shores of England ever again.
What a funny story !! SAID ALAN PARTRIDGE !!
Back of the net!!!

What a legend 🙌 👏 💙
When I served (not spec anything) I was one of the guys who used to check out new equipment when it arrived; this one week 3 guys turned up with a weird handheld secure radio, not our usual stuff we were avionics but we worked with them anyway. Not saying they were spec ops but if I remember correctly it was Cpl Grey, Cpl Brown and Sgt Black.
Priceless! 😂🤣😂 At least the guy got something right!
Respect to all of them whoever and wherever they are. BZ.
Being a veteran of the Navy Ranger Spec Ops Recon Raider Commando from Delta Team 69 I can relate.
Soldiers are forbidden to speak
But liars are permitted to lie
As a former Royal Marine I’ve experienced this many times (from others, bringing up the fact I’ve served to people, it’s not something I’d ever do randomly) and it always follows the same script, they fall at the first couple of probing questions. I don’t really get angry, it’s a mixture of pity and amusement for me. As long as they aren’t defrauding charities or claiming PTSD, let them pull all the gullible women they can with it, they always get found out in the end.
Yeah. I feel like people doing that kind of thing must have some deep rooted self esteem issues to be lying about something like that.
Marine eh? Two questions:
1. What's your favourite flavour of Crayon
2. What instrument did you play?
Looooool....... respect from an ex WAFU.
@@nickmaclachlan5178 haha alright mate, I’ll bite:
1. I wasn’t trusted around crayons, so I wore mini skirts and suspenders.
2. The pink flute of course.

Cheers dits.
Wat a brilliant story.. Just lov to hear more of them. Jason is one kool guy.
Think most must av a mate that thinks hes sas.. Lol. Hilarious!
It's funny, my Uncle was a Colour sergeant in the Manchester regiment. We convinced OURSELVES he was special forces because he wouldn't talk about his postings. Turns out he just didn't like talking about it!!
Yeh some don’t. Most people don’t really harper on about it but not because of it was bad or anything but answering basic questions like saying you were posted at fob Gibraltar in 2008 or something and what you were doing as in if you were patrol ect. Or that you were on herrick 13 and all that then you should really be able to answer (unless you’ve genuinely forgot) but there’s no way someone couldn’t answer their fob just because “war is nasty” or whatever.
my uncles in the army, most of them are like that, they dont see it as out of the ordinary sometimes, just their job. i remember going to Orlando years ago, we were at seaworld watching the thing with the orca's (wouldnt do that now) & at the start they asked any military types to stand to receive a round of applause for what they do, he wouldnt.
@@me5969 I'm going to get myself a regimental cap badge as my profile picture. Then, I'm going to Google some Army phrases then hopefully, everyone will think I'm in the Paras....
Manchester regiment? No such regiment mate 🤣
@@Buckblacket the fact he hasn’t picked up on the fact there is no such regiment as the ‘Manchester regiment’ shows he wasmt in the Paras or even a soldier 🤣
I served along the SAS while I was in the Scouts. Got my served with badass badge
Absolute classic! Heaps of love for foxy
Why do people do this? I’m a doctor and I’ve rumbled a few “ medics” as their knowledge of the finer points of pathophysiology falls flat!
I love how people, usually uninvited tell you their this or that. I know a few ex forces lads and they are very humble, and generally don’t give it the large. If you’re in the special forces you’ve passed selection, and that involves testing your psychological needs and ego. I don’t think I have ever met an actual special forces person yet, but I’ve been told by a couple their ex SAS, and the fact they told me was a red flag.
As wide a range of characters as any walk of life. I know one who runs his own IT business, very mellow, very humorous, crucially acknowledges Roger Moore as the best James Bond (IDGAF TBH but only the elite of the elite breeze past that little obstacle) - straight A perfect specimen who you could trust as a baby sitter.
I know / of rather more who apply their army experience to security services. No doubt diligent and professional but probably misconceived in thrall to Sean Connery, a lot of 'em.
And then you have two-bob weapon-polishers who dress as Schitzstaffel and crouch behind walls waiting to slap fixed penalty notices on little old dears who accidentally drop their filthy bus tickets on the pristine pavement. I would surmise they're more your Sly Stallone aficionado - the definitive 'Get Carter'.
Exactly. A former SAS member wouldn't brag about it.
I'm ex forces (not special forces, but worked with them on occasion) and anyone who volunteers this sort of information about themselves is generally lying.
Most ex special forces personnel won't want to talk about their service in any detail as it usually drags up bad memories and names of lost colleagues. The only time they generally will talk about it is with their own.

I was in the SAS I worked Saturdays and Sundays.
Top quality story 👍🏼
Love it!
Hello thanks for the comments 🙏🙏 how are you and thanks for the support 💖🙏
Oh yeah.....that embassy balcony back in 1980 was the biggest in the world at one point......so many people were on it
My father as boy during ww2 in England saw an SAS man jump off a bus doing about 30 mph and just ran to a stop no rolling over, very fit man. Plus as a Cadet I saw an Australian Commando at the range get ten out of ten shooting an M16 from the hip, the other regular soldiers got 3 and 4 out of ten, very deadly soldiers those special forces guys.
I jumped onto a moving car to get at the driver. I didn't know him, I just wanted to admonish him for driving recklessly in the town centre. I was rather intoxicated at the time (late '80s/early '90s) and didn't realise what I was doing was unreasonable. It was only when a lady friend spelled it out to me: "You're the only person I've ever known who's x, y & z."
I thought - krikey, she's known loads of blokes, and I know for sure some of them are ruffians ... maybe I should rein in the cartoon capers a little.
This video just made me want a pint.... unfortunately all the pubs are shut.
Me and a couple of veterans were sat in a pub and a local guy somehow got into a conversation with one of the lads and he said he was ex para , nearly died in the Falklands so I immediately asked him what was his army number and he said “oh man it’s been such a long time I’ve forgot it!” It was right at that moment he “”@“” off out the pub😂😂
Who forgets that 8 digit number,I haven't after 35 years,father in law,remembers his 70 years later.
@@flatmoon6359 same here… left the mob in 96, still remember… dad left in 77 and still remembers ( he cannot recall what he had for dinner last week, haha)
I called up this army guy who said he served too, said he couldn’t remember his service number because it was too long ago!!!!! My Dad is in his mid seventies and recites as I do our military numbers with no problem!!!
You NEVER forget your army number, 25067130, it’s been 21 year since I left 😊
Yup, that always gets them. I was in the TA for just over 12 months before joining the Marines in 1975. I can still remember my army number from the TA nearly 50 years later.
I remember going for a drink with my uncle who was a Regimental Sergeant Major for the Royal Engineers, when the land lord of the pub came over for a chat with a Regimental tie on, my uncle quizzed him on it, and when the guy said he had never served he made him remove it.
What's his name ?I might know him...I'm ex RE..24yrs?
@@mrquint808c.8 sorry dont know the gentleman .but give him my regards.
I'm ex RM and used to think the SAS was the biggest regiment in the army, I say that because nearly every squaddie I met ashore told me he worked for or with the regiment.

Royal Mail?
Just brilliant !!! Hope you served it to him after ! Or “can’t you talk about it !😂😂🤦🏽♂️. How funny ffs
Still one of the funniest stories I've heard 🤣
I was also apart of the guys who were on the Iranian embassy balcony .along with about 20.000 people
lying about being in the SAS is a bit like claiming to be part of the Avengers and remembering the fight against thanos
Brilliant stuff
I served an SAS soldier a right hook while I was being detained and kicked about the floor.
Genuine SAS tend not to talk about it, you wouldn't know an SAS guy if you met him in the street.
Love it
Brilliant
A lot of these people who interview ex SAS soldiers tend to get too over excited and awe struck. Learn some emotional intelligence from the guys you are interviewing please.
I was once in the SAS! Scottish Ambulance Service do great work
I knew a bloke who was a raging alcoholic and drank in our local pub (nicknamed the zoo) who told me he was in the SAS and once parachuted into Iraq disguised as a Camel. Not even bullshitting
Was the camel SF as well?
I was the 4352nd man on the balcony of the iranian embassy
That's interesting because I was the 4353rd...I don't remember seeing you in front..😂
That is a belter👊🤣
A few years ago I was on the balcony, but I won’t go into too much detail as someone may read this
Must be the Somerset Ambulance Service
I had a family lunch with a guy who was in the Aussie SAS he never said a thing about it almost like he had been told not disclose anything, I am a Property Valuer he was more interested in discussing the market for rural property in Victoria (I was more than happy to fully discuss my views on the market), he had moved a well paid job as security consultant with an International Aid Agency and wanted to buy a farm.
That sounds more like it. Even those ex SF who are on the media circuit now don't really talk about specifics, just a vague acknowledgement that they have been there, done that. I'm a Brit, but I would recommend a video on here from Liveth For Evermore about the Aussie SAS and the Tizak operation. He transcribes the actual account of what one of your VC winners wrote. Bluntly explaining what he did.
This is why proper blokes don't talk cause it ends up on utube 🤣
Watch Behind The Lines, documentary following the Royal Marines Mountain and Arctic Warfare cadre. An Australian SAS member fails the course very early on.....
Cracking story, must remember to put this on for my kids bedtime. Should do the job nicely.

@cm. CG I'm not sure how serious your response is, but my post is obviously a joke referencing Jay from the Inbetweeners.

As for stolen valour, I never even claimed to have served until you challenged me.

Close enough. I've sat on Hamworthy Beach right next to the SBS base, I reckon that pretty much qualifies me!
Canoed quite near some swans. Don't tell everyone.
I remember meeting a few SAS when I was at boarding school in Hereford, near Credenhill, we did adventure weekends and DofE in the Beacons, I've never even been in the regular army but I still remember them vividly, so gentle and kind, softly spoken, people like Lofty, hearts and minds etc roll models of the highest order, knights of the round table.
