'Chris Ryan' says jungle makes or break it. There was some guy who wanted to quit in jungle training, so Chris told him take 5 minutes think it through then come back. After 5 min he still wanted to quit . So Chris said ok. Then the guy realized afterwards, he still had to ruck out of the jungle. And he realized the mistake he made. But it was too late, and there's no returning once you quit.
Here is the clip from, 'Who Dares Wins,' referred to by Lindsay. This is an iconic scene as the SAS CRW team close in on the last couple of remaining terrorists. Lewis Collins joined 10 Para circa 1978-79 and passed P Coy at the age of 32. I know his Recruit Training Team Plt Sgt- Geoff B. He served in the regular Para's in the 70's, saw plenty of service in NI, and rescued an officer from a building bombed by the IRA at great risk to his own safety. I have spoken to Geoff about Lewis, he had a great deal of respect for him. He told me that Lewis was extremely fit, worked extremely hard during training- he was very dedicated. Lewis had a great sense of humour, he took lots of stick from NCO's about his role as, 'Bodie' in, 'The Professionals,' he took it all with good grace- which just made him more popular. Geoff said he an excellent soldier, and he would have gone to war with him without hesitation. He became a good friend of Lew's and maintained regular contact with him right up until his all too early demise. Lew was a Top Bloke according to Geoff. He was a role model for many late 70's junior school boys, and he absolutely would have been a superb Bond. He was an excellent physical actor and looked the part. Lewis was a an excellent marksman- he was competing in shooting competitions when he was 15. He was into parachuting/skydiving and martial arts. I think he owned a half share in an armoury business with his brother. Cubbi Broccoli interviewed Lewis for the Bond role, but apparently thought he was 'too aggressive!' He made a HUGE mistake in not casting him I think. Lew would have done the business as Bond, lots of women fancied him too, so he would have had serious box office draw. th-cam.com/video/Q8ZVFLjyt7s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zrQBLgfb9uxQYWBM
BTW there's a small sequence in the scene right after the assault when 22's CO (played by Tony Doyle) says: "Well done Dave, get the boys out fast" to one of the assault team who face is covered up, he is talking to the military advisor who was an ex RSM of the Regiment. I went on to work with Dave A. on the 'Zero Option'.
Bro I paused the video as soon as he referenced that movie….and I went and made note of a few different vids on TH-cam. Then I listened to the rest of this clip Needless to say him describing that made me curious
Lewis Collins, the star of Who Dares Wins that Mr Bruce is talking about, became so enamoured with the regiment that he actually went through and passed selection for 23 SAS. He got gently 'let down' as he was too famous a face to be SAS, civi or not. I think it was Rusty Firmin, one of the Iranian embassy team, saying he was 100% the real deal - a double hard barstool who was always welcomed in certain Hereford pubs. The troopers loved that film - "It's shit, but it's shit in a good way". Yes, he should've played Bond. He would've been the bondiest Bond.

Very articulate and faultless extended answers. You would be under no doubt after a tasking brief, precise and to the point. Amazing how being confident instills confidence. I'm referring to the green army. I was Guards and later Tank Regiment and always forced myself to be confident when leading because any sign of weakness is your demise. Speaking confidently is key and I enjoy these videos where every former SF operator can public speak, no easy task.
The movie he speaks of in the US is "The Final Option". Absolutely stellar flick. Love the scene(s) where they do the borescope from the neighbor's house and wall breach into the Skellen family's flat with 2 guys with FN HiPowers.

I know exactly the scene he’s talking about! The tempo of the music fits just right, certainly gets the blood pumping. Excellent movie, cheesy but so much fun
Iv literally got tears in my eyes wen he's talking about the who dares wins sene, coz I was exactly the same. I'm a few older then him so I remember the movie well. But got me very emotional 😢❤
In my humble opinion the only way to avoid the mind game played on one self by pondering if one got through or not is to stay focused on the job it self. No matter what, pass or fail, at the end of the day you still have a job to do. Worrying never brought anyone across the finishing line.
Title should have said "SAS Selection is Absurd". No real comments on the training at all. That being said, it's a good clip and I appreciate it being posted.
Lewis Collins was a real cool cat. Fun fact and amazing sliding doors moment - as a young man he was actually at barbers school! His best friend on the hairdressers apprentice course knew he played the drums very well and invited him to audition for his big brothers pop group who were looking for a replacement drummer. Lewis decided not to bother with the audition - his best friend was called Mike McCartney - little brother of Paul McCartney. Crazy to think Lewis could have take Ringo's spot if only he could have been bothered!!
@@Klemheist-vf1hx What that it was 21 and not 23 or that he was prevented from carrying on because of his fame? Also, I wouldn’t call reserve selection ‘pretending’ either. He was serving with 10 Para at the time, so after passing P-Company and the jumps course was he pretending to be a Para too?
I had a VHS copy of Who Dares Wins, my teenage years. Great movie, Lewis Collins great actor, very physically fit guy, heard he was in the SAS reserve unit. One inspirational movie, that motivated me to join U.S. Army, serve as a combat engineer.
He was a TA Para & I read he actually passed selection for the TA SAS but they couldn't take him because he was too well known.

One of the SAS regiments (UK/AUS/NZ) has separated the Anti-Terrorist role from the 'Green Role' to a great extent. If you pass at least halfway through the selection, but subsequently drop out, you are offered a place to train for the Anti-Terrorist role, but NOT as a fully badged member. Those who pass the full selection course go to the 'Green Role', and are fully badged members. This was done as they realised they were losing good men during selection who would be perfectly fine in the Anti-Terrorist role. Now they can keep them in the fold. They can also subsequently try again at the full selection and become fully badged. To me, it makes sense that the guys who demonstrate their ability to 'push through' long periods of difficult long-distance navigation and yomping would be definitely suited to the Green role, whereas the Black role is short-sharp bursts of energy, less of the long distance ability required.

All that screaming in the face nonsense is just ridiculous. It’s fear based programming. If you can’t train men by treating them with respect, then it’s obvious there is no respect, and none will be earned, and the end result is entirely predictable.
Its designed to disorientate and to see if you can keep clear thinking under pressure. If someone screaming in your face puts you off, you're in the wrong job.
You clearly have never done military service! If you’re going to piss your pants with a DS screaming in your face then you’re not the person for the job! There’s far worse more dehumanising things that going to happen before you get badged!
I had a mate who worked on the same wagon as me, then one day he said see you later I am off on a course, he never returned, I then enquired about him 10 years later when I bumped into a mutual friend, said whatever to Kev did he pass his course as he never came back, that's when I was told he did the selection and passed
SAS I don't know if they trained hard but they sure like to tell everybody they train really hard they also happen to make up fake stories of the Gulf War write books about themselves to make themselves sound really badass so they really don't have that good of a reputation in my eyes... but what do I know I'm just an ordinary civilian I shouldn't know these things anyway
Ah yes, the only US President who has ever denigrated the memory of its military dead, asked that a severely injured veteran was stopped from attending his public engagements and didn't want to visit a WWII cemetery because the rain would spoil his hair. He's a funking joke.
@@NoFsGiven666 I have seen both and my humble opinion you can't even compare western specials to Russian. They have more combat experience which is vital and Thier training is far more vigorous. On a note about hand to hand combat they actually train with shaolin monks which is about 100 levels higher than MMA ect. They are genuinely braver men. Have a look at some of the incidents in Chechnya where they fought and sometimes killed themselves calling in air support knowingly. It's makes me laugh that British people are belittling the Russians and it shows there age. My father a war veteran in the far east had a amazing amount of respect for the Russians. In case you don't know the figures for MIA are around 500k to 35k in Russias favour and it's the same in equipment. Ammunition production is around 10-1 and that's without NK or china or Iran Russia is simply ahead on all counts and I'm not Russian. People who believe this fairy tale of NATO superiority are basically killing Ukrainian conscripts by the millions now . The polish general said 1 million losses.

SAS I don't know if they trained hard but they sure like to tell everybody they train really hard they also happen to make up fake stories of the Gulf War write books about themselves to make themselves sound really badass so they really don't have that good of a reputation in my eyes... but what do I know I'm just an ordinary civilian I shouldn't know these things anyway
TRUMP 2024 TRUMP 2024
Chuff off pal.
A vote for Trump is a vote for Puten.
@nelsonelectrical1972 you know don't ya.
Putin and Trump ones a narcissist the others a coward
Ah yes, the only US President who has ever denigrated the memory of its military dead, asked that a severely injured veteran was stopped from attending his public engagements and didn't want to visit a WWII cemetery because the rain would spoil his hair. He's a funking joke.
Nowhere near spetsnaz
The SAS has never been manned by conscripts.
Enough said.
Thought most of them been killed.
Spetsnaz would wipe the floor with all western special forces. They are being kept back just for that.
@@NoFsGiven666 I have seen both and my humble opinion you can't even compare western specials to Russian. They have more combat experience which is vital and Thier training is far more vigorous.
On a note about hand to hand combat they actually train with shaolin monks which is about 100 levels higher than MMA ect.
They are genuinely braver men. Have a look at some of the incidents in Chechnya where they fought and sometimes killed themselves calling in air support knowingly.
It's makes me laugh that British people are belittling the Russians and it shows there age. My father a war veteran in the far east had a amazing amount of respect for the Russians.
In case you don't know the figures for MIA are around 500k to 35k in Russias favour and it's the same in equipment.
Ammunition production is around 10-1 and that's without NK or china or Iran
Russia is simply ahead on all counts and I'm not Russian. People who believe this fairy tale of NATO superiority are basically killing Ukrainian conscripts by the millions now . The polish general said 1 million losses.
@@NoFsGiven666 What experience do Thais have in war?
Also it's not about being beaten with sticks. The Russians are far cleverer as well. Better diet and better genetics. No wokism
Literally just googled what unit Lindsey was in before he says RHF.
Royal highland fusiliers
