My father in law’s brother was a royal marine commando during WW2 he was dropped behind enemy lines many times to destroy German radar stations and ammunition dumps he survived the war and emigrated to New Zealand 🇳🇿 and never came back to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 again

As clishe as it is this video gave me a lot of inspiration. 'm so glad you didn't fall in to the pit of blaming people for seeking out the comfort. You explained how to get the proper balance and how that can help

I literally smash caffeine, newborn, train 5 days a week without fail, 50 hours of work and I'm constantly shattered. Mentally telling myself to get a grip, do the run, push harder, do that overtime. Energy drink, black coffee. When i finally stop i can fall asleep anywhere, making me think the caffeine isnt the problem because i can sleep no drama, its the workload tiring me out. Going to try 30 days withthout it. I'll leave a reply for anyone interested.

Right on, mate.

Tommy is the definition of a quiet professional.

Make the F, in breakfast 😅

That hour on the bike flew by! Good insight into failure as its not often you get to hear the real world examples of determination toward a goal.

As a cyclist, I am called skinny by guys that are bulked and spam chest day, but I would say I'm lean and toned. I tone my upper body, train my core a bit more and obviously my legs the most. My question is do I have to get 'big' to make it in the sas? And can I pursue professional cycling and a career in the army simultaneously? (Ignore my username I'm staying anymous)

i ate in n out while watching this :)

So the Very Special Forces!

Am from Nigerian where we all are built to take pain ngl

The title and intro regarding Royal Marine Mountain Leaders is not justified. Yes, in regard to the specific training undertaken for the role they provide, they are exceptionally well trained to the highest standards in that discipline. But it is a narrow area of skills applicable to quite specific environments. It is like claiming a world class 100m sprinter is superior to a world class decathlete. The sprinter, being the Mountain Leader, is trained to the highest standards and achieves world class performance, but it is one discipline. Whereas the world class decathlete, being say 22 SAS, excels in a wide range of disciplines at a level not far off the best at each discipline (and in some areas, 22 SAS _are_ the best, arguably). To expand the sprinter/decathlete analogy; 22 SAS has mountain troops, operators trained to very high standards in all things mountain. But the Mountain Leader 1 (there are 3 levels, ML1 being the highest) is above what mountain troop operators do, the extra abilities of MLs are not necessary in the SAS role. So, on the one hand 22 SAS mountain troop members are not at the level of ML1 personnel. But, that 22 SAS operator has another half dozen or maybe more disciplines under his belt that the ML has relatively little or no experience in, just as the sprinter/decathlete analogy shows. For this program to outright state MLs are above and beyond 22 SAS, well, as I stated at the outset, they have not substantiated their claim.

That's Chris Redfield on the thumbnail.

Noone is better than tier one special forces.

100% agree with the difference between CrossFit then and now. I first came across it when I was working with SEAL Teams in Fallujah. Now, it’s a sport instead of a fitness system.

Whare can i find that picture from the thumbnail ? Thanks in advance.

I've known 1 member of this unit and I know what they do. But to label them as the title suggests is going a bit too far. With deep and honest reflection is the title true ?

More nonsense videos, keep producing them we'll keep avoiding them.

This small little island, with a tiny number of elite troops compared to most countries but we are number 1 in the world and for that, I’m immensely proud of you guys and grateful. Proud to be British. 🇬🇧

Hats

Most inconspicuous assassins 😂

Ultimate respect to all, but Better.......I would agree different but better is a provoking word in that environment. TBH there are several units all of whom would say they are better than others but in reality have mutual respect.

My old mate Joe Burnett was a commando dropped into Arnhem … he’s gone now but never forgotten … only found out he was in the commando’s when we found a book with a photo of him … he was presented a medal from the French sorry can’t remember the name. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Misleading title. They ain't secret and even though they are good, they ain't tier 1 SF. Tier 2 SFSG at most.

My dad passed this course in the 1950s-60s, back then it was called CL, Cliff Leader, now-a-days it's called ML Mountain Leader. He said he was trained to climb 90% of cliffs around the world on a quarter moon light.

Really glad we've got these people in the forces...obviously hard as fuck but humble too. Softly spoken etc but you'd not want to be facing that type of person as an enemy soldier.

of everything in the video, what resonated most was the beginning when you became emotional, speaking about your family: "they always put us first." so did my folks for my sister, brother & me.

I served in the Royal Marines SAS in Scotland.

The dude in the shorts is wearing an watch and a g shock. What is the point? The dude has no excuses for being late to anything. But I'll bet hes been late. "I'm So sorry sir. One watch fell in the water and the other one went flat. Not my fault sir. My wife said she would plug in the chargers."

Buzzword warfare. Cheers!

Each to their own in the UK special forces , and with their own unique set of skills , however the SAS still rank as the bunch with the largest skill set spread across four Squadrons where their troops rotate through different specialist roles and of course their infamous Counter Revolutionary Warfare (CRW) Wing and Revolutionary Warfare Wing (RWW)

A beautifully produced and life-saver of a video. Spot on. And from someone who knows what meaningful life/death stress is about. The wave of continuous, widespread and complex accumulation of micro-stresses people are now living with in civilian life is astonishing. We all can become subject to the boiling frog syndrome. And the only thing to solve something that messy and pervasive is going to be at the fundamental level: Mindset, breathing, movement, habit. Amazing corpus of life advice in these videos and newsletters - think a lot of people can be grateful you found your own Natural Edge!

We have a unit of SAS in NZ. THEY are very hush hush, you never hear about except for Wille Apiata. I have heard about this group in 🇬🇧 UK

❤

I served in the Royal Marines SAS in the 60s in Scotland.

What is the unit called?

I have two uncles that served, WWII. One in OSS, the other in SOE. I've attended courses on both sides of pond, ask me a question, I'll do my best to answer.

there was a time when there was an argument to be made between sas and sfod-d but gwot changed that. the amount of experience cag got from hitting multiple targets every. single. night was like a hammer banging away on steel, forging the greatest warfighters the world has ever known. if sas had the opportunity to hit it as hard as cag did, im sure they would have been more than capable of keeping up. maybe even surpassing delta.. but thats just not how things turned out.

The usual war stories.

Seems like they have a wonderful challenging skill set. The title is horrid. “Better than SF” is totally unrelated.

Don’t suppose you could list details of your route? Waterfalls look epic

These chaps took on the Argies at Top Malo House in 1982. MAWC do not fvck about.

My thoughts go to when these well sorted people complete the course, become a ML, serve for 7 years, then the identity and belonging to a highly regarded group they held so dear goes away on discharge- then what? This is where the real things start. Do you value yourself on who you are or what you do..? Absolute admiration on all of what is required. Brilliant editing and storytelling,\\ Well done.

Gates out, amateurs😂.

What is this video? Friends climbing? the rest is so secret? OK secret!! Now all the word knows that is secret, good job!!!!

I’m in total admiration of the people who do this work. One question: when watching and listening, I was particularly interested in the unspoken aspect - the ‘need’ for extreme haste (get up there alive, undetected, with your full crew, and arms and munitions 10 minutes ago’. How does this imperative affect skills of these total professionals? Ie, adding the combat aspect to nice hard climb on the coast at night?

Climbed Commando Ridge, awesome climb 👍

ML are incredible soldiers, but they aren't secret. There was literally a BBC documentary ( twice ) about them which followed candidates. Or was that a different Unit ? Apologies if i got it wrong

The answer to the heading is, Anyone is the Australian Army 😛

take a look at the cornish 🏄‍♂️ surfers coming out the sea climbing these rocks barefoot!!!crazy
