As a Kiwi civilian I was both intrigued and in awe about our NZSAS . Its great to get the chance to say Thank you Jamie Pennell for your service , Respect and gratitude 🙏 🇳🇿🫶🏼🌿
A really good example of someone who within minutes of them opening their mouth you know that they are an absolutely solid and squared away individual.
I worked with 'Bomber' on the set of Spartacus a few years back. He came and taught a big group of us Roman soldiers how to march and a few other bits and pieces. If it was the same Bomber he was bald if I remember correctly. You could tell straight away he was used to giving orders! He talked about his military service but obviously didn't say a word about being in the SAS. Small world here in NZ. Awesome podcast. I'm glad we've got guys like Jamie representing our military throughout the world and making people like me proud of our contribution as a country. Takes a very special kind of human being to be able to do what these guys do. The vast vast majority of us have no doubt dreamed and imagined ourselves of being in such units many times but only a tiny tiny few men have the mental and physical capabilities to do this type of work. Thanks Jamie.
It’s an honour you invited service man J. His one example of person “who dares win”. I got his book and it’s really an example of being the tip of the spear. Anything can happen so it needs a special kind of breed to be in that operation. Thankful for his service to our country.
So he went and did selection for 21 SAS in the UK. It's important to note that even though he said he found it very tough, 21 SAS selection (together with 23 SAS and the SBS(R)) is NOT what 22 SAS and the SBS do. It is far less arduous, for example they don't any jungle phase at all, which is considered the most difficult phase by most. Only 22 SAS and the SBS do full UKSF selection.
My best brother soldier was Laurie Sadler a ex V6 veteran .We were both serving in 2/1 BN and Laurie did two SAS selection courses and got thru in his second attempt.
My friends I admire during my 25 service in the NZ army ,Mattie B,Gary Ratana ,Hoppy ,Eddie K were all SAS and top blokes.My OC and CQMS ACOY 2/1 RNZIR were both Vietnam War Veterans.Major Albie kiwi and SSgt Bill Lillicrap
