His expertise became indispensable to world leaders, including a legendary solo evacuation of the Canadian Embassy in Libya in 2014. Dean wasn't finished pushing the boundaries. In 2016, he embarked on an extraordinary challenge: cycling the entire 14,000-mile Pan-American Highway.

In today's episode I welcome a former-colleague and UK Special Forces sergeant major Gary ‘Gaz' Banford to the podcast. During a career spanning more than two decades, Gaz led teams within one of the most elite special forces units in the world, the Special Boat Service, and later led the recruitment arm of UK Special Forces. Gaz is now the Founder and CEO of Duratas, where he coaches senior leaders to be more authentic and resilient. Through the stories and wisdom gained, Gaz and I discuss the special forces' approach to attracting and hiring the right people, where the side effect of a poor hire could be a matter of life or death. Gaz breaks down the misconceptions surrounding what the ‘right person' is and instead explains the crucial qualities you should be screening for to identify the best people to take your team to the next level. You can expect to understand; - How to identify the ‘right' people for your team and company - How to specifically attract these people - How to screen candidates for the most crucial qualities - And how to build a team which take your company to the next level As always, if you enjoyed the episode and want to be the first to hear when new episodes drop, please like, rate, review and subscribe to the podcast.

This is the first episode of a two-part mini-series on the history of maritime special forces. In this episode we hear about the Second World War origins, development and early history of the SBS - the 'Special Boat Service'. To find out more Dr Sam Willis spoke with Saul David, a military historian given unprecedented access to the archives of the SBS for his book - SBS - Silent Warriors: The Authorised Wartime History. Founded in the dark days of 1940, Britain's Special Boat Service was the world's first maritime special operations unit. It started as an inexperienced and small outfit that leaned heavily on the courage and enthusiasm of volunteers but went on to change the course of the war. Its operational inventiveness has served as a model for special forces ever since. Their assignments were some of the most challenging of the war. Feted by history they have gone on to become legendary military operations. The SBS operated globally: in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, the Channel and the Far East. Operating with flimsy canoes and armed with close-combat weapons - often nothing more than knives, pistols and their bare hands - these men operated repeatedly and successfully deep behind enemy lines. They landed secret agents, destroyed enemy infrastructure, attacked enemy shipping, spread uncertainty and fear and paved the way of some of the most important large-scale operations of the war, including D-Day.

On today's Zero Limits Podcast I chat with Dean Stott a former British Special Forces Soldier. After making it through the Special Forces gruelling 6 month selection process, Dean became one of the very first army members to join the SBS (Special Boat Service). Throughout his esteemed military career, he has conducted deployments to overseas hostile environments and been involved in Counter Terrorism operations; he has travelled to some of the toughest places in the world. Dean left the military after 16 honourable years having suffered a severe knee injury in a parachuting accident in 2011.He then established a distinguished career in the private security sector: he was renowned for his willing to take on any job, no matter how dangerous. The man who went, when others wont. Dean has faced extortion, kidnapping, civil war, pirates, military coups and single handedly responsible for the evacuation of the Canadian Embassy rescuing 4 diplomats and 18 military personnel from Libya to Tunis in 2014. However, in 2016 Dean was ready for a new project and wanted to use this to help others. He began training to cycle the longest motorable road in the world – The Pan American Highway. Dean passed through 14 countries on his expedition, crossing some of the most dangerous passages in the world. Prior to his training, Dean had never cycled more than a few miles. In the final stretch, Dean continued for 17 hours and driven by his determination covered 544 Km (340 miles) on his longest day. Dean completed the 14,000 mile route from Argentina to Alaska in May 2018, gaining two world records and raising an incredible amount of money for charity in the process. Support the show - https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=9LG48GC49TW38Website - www.zerolimitspodcast.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/zero.limits.podcast/?hl=en

In 2009, Toby Gutteridge was paralysed from the neck down after being shot while on duty with the Special Boat Service in Afghanistan. He recently released a book—‘Never Will I Die'—that recounts a difficult childhood in South Africa, his trajectory into the Special Forces and Special Boat Service and, of course, his miraculous survival and the subsequent fallout of such a profoundly life-changing incident. His remarkable story is a reminder of the determination of the human spirit, and your own true potential.

SECURE BOTH NATIONAL AND CLIENT INTERESTSThis episode of the Fearless Mindset Podcast is the second part of our conversation with Dean Stott, a Tier 1 special forces soldier, adventurer, world-record breaker, and author of Relentless.Dean shares his determination to join the elite Special Boat Service and the sheer differences between what people see in the movies and in real life. He also explains how being a soldier is also not the same as being in executive protection and the need to be thorough when protecting clients.GOLDEN NUGGETSTo be Tier 1, you need to have brains as well as brawns - Dean: "Being the fittest isn't the best. The selection process dwindles out. Those that are fit, those that can also retain information, those that can work in teams, work on their own, and make decisive decisions under pressure."The special forces are not like what you see on TV - Dean: "Everyone has this perception of special forces of the bombs, the biceps, the bullets, and things like that, which makes good TV, but that's actually 25% of what we do, and that's your final plan. When I'm talking about your primary, secondary, tertiary, and then you get your firearm, that's that 25%. 50% of what we do is support and influence. It's hearts and minds, being embedded with the locals, understanding the demographics, the politics, the tribal influences, and just flying under the radar." Get to know more about Dean:LinkedIn | WebsiteTo hear more episodes of The Fearless Mindset podcast, you can go to https://the-fearless-mindset.simplecast.com/ or listen to major podcasting platforms such as Apple, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc. You can also subscribe to the Fearless Mindset YouTube Channel to watch episodes on video.

DEAN STOTT Former Special Boat Service (SBS) Operator DOUBLE WORLD RECORD HOLDER, AUTHOR “You can argue with someone ‘til you're blue in the face. Or you can just go do it and prove them wrong." “You can argue with someone ‘til you're blue in the face. Or you can just go do it and prove them wrong. It is my pleasure to introduce to you Dean Stott - Former UK Special Forces (SBS), Adventurer, Double World Record Holder, Star of the TV show SAS Australia and Author of the Bestselling book, Relentless.

We talked about the support of his wife Alana, his team behind his successes and the transition from Special Forces soldier to the civilian world. Dean talked about how he met Prince Harry, and the support he got for the world record attempt to raise money for the charity Heads Together. With the most exciting start to ANY book I have ever read or heard his book Relentless is a phenomenal read. Dean epitomises the unrelenting pursuit of excellence and in. His words- “you cannot be experienced without experience “ 
Everybody has heard the SAS motto that who dares wins, but special forces warrior Dean Stott also lives his life by another powerful mantra - that of the relentless pursuit of excellence. In 16 years of service, Dean rose to the top of Britain's fighting force, taking part of some of the most daring and dangerous operations in the war on terror, and then in the private security force, where missions included him singlehandedly evacuating the Canadian Embassy in Libya. But then, following a horrific parachuting accident, Dean's dream career was cut short, and his ethos was put to its toughest test. Just like the day when Dean's dad said that he could never make it as a soldier, Dean's doctors told him that he would never again perform at the elite level. To put it mildly, Dean disagreed, but even those that knew him were staggered by the mission that he set himself - the man who didn't own a bike would cycle the Pan American Highway, a 14,000 mile route on the longest road in the world- that stretches from Argentina to Alaska, passing through some of the most dangerous countries on earth. A passionate mental health campaigner, Dean decided to up the stakes further by setting himself the task of raising a million pounds for charity. With two world records also in his sights, the stage was set for Dean to rediscover the tenacity, bravery, and downright doggedness that saw him rise to the top of the Special Forces. The final curveball arrived in the shape of a wedding invitation from his old friend Prince Harry - would he make it back in time for the royal wedding, or at all? Dean Stott is Relentless, and this is his story.

The HSM Sheffield has just been sunk by an Exocet days after the General Belgrano was sent to the depths by two torpedoes. This war was turning nastier by the minute and not helped by the media on both sides – British Warship sunk by Argies – yelled the Sun Headline The Daily Star was a bit more direct – its headline was merely:SUNK!The odd thing was that the Sheffield had not actually gone down by the time these stories were published  –  it would take three days for the Sheffield to eventually roll over but there was no denying the palpable shock which ran through the British nation on the morning of the 5th May 1982 the day after the crew abandoned ship. The mood in the war cabinet that day reflected these views, with John Nott the most shaken of Margaret Thatchers' ministers. He told the House of commons later “It has been a dreadful event…” but the first effect was to infuse the British diplomatic efforts with new energy and foreign secretary Francis Pym was on the move once more. Just a few days earlier he had been waving his arms about airily dismissing the peace initiatives in a condescending manner, now he was shocked into action. Meanwhile, since the beginning of May, the SAS and Special Boat Service had not been idle. Parties from G squadron SAS and the SBS began landing ashore on the Falklands from the 1st May to assess the strength and condition of the Argentinian forces. Rear Admiral Woodward had ordered the frigate HMS Alacrity to steam at full speed through the Falkland Sound – the passage between East and West Falklands. The plan was to pressurise the Argentine garrison and to prove that the British had naval superiority. What Woodward didn't know, was that there were five Argentine supply ships in various parts of the Falkland Sound that night.  Get bonus content on Patreon Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Tobias Gutteridge is a former member of the Special Boat Service and one of the youngest ever recruits to pass their elite selection process. At only 24 years of age, he was shot through the neck whilst operating behind enemy lines in Afghanistan. He survived not being able to breathe for over 20 minutes and after being induced into a coma, doctors recommended his life-support machine be switched off. With a defiant spirit, Toby pulled through and rebuilt his life. After returning to formal education, Toby attained a first-class honours degree and now runs his own company. 'Bravery', supports children in poverty and Toby's book, 'Never Will I Die', is a passionate account of life triumphing over death.

Episode 49 of The Blank Canvas Podcast with Ant Middleton. Ant Middleton joined the Army in UK at age 16, eventually achieving the ‘Holy Trinity’ of the UK’s Elite Forces; the Marines, 9 Parachute Squadron and Special Boat Service and seeing plenty of action with three tours of Afghanistan. As with many high achievers, whether elite athletes or soldiers, life after the strict discipline and adrenalin charged action can be rather challenging. After leaving the military Ant’s fall from grace was swift and he wound up in prison and hit rock bottom. This lead to a major re-evaluation of his life and Ant set out to build a career and life that his wife Emilie and kids could be proud of. A decade later and Ant has become a much loved master of survival and endurance in the fields of television, publishing and motivational speaking.

Greg Barden was the youngest to ever pass Special Forces Selection and his journey from the Special Boat Service to England Sevens and company founder is as inspirational as it is interesting. This was the first time we met each other since we parted ways badly with England Sevens, me as the coach and Greg as the captain. It really was great to see Greg again and something we should have done a long time ago. He has not only done some truly amazing things in his life so far, but he also talks about them so brilliantly and reflects deeply and with real insight. Certainly, it was very cathartic to talk about how we fell out but it also left me with some mixed emotions. I was genuinely elated to have had that difficult conversation but also disappointed in myself that I had been like that with him all those years ago and not had the tools to mend it quickly. I put those softer skills right at the top of what I think I am very good at but the ego, twinned with the pressure I had put on myself back then, produced a Ben Ryan that was certainly not his best version! I think those dips in my best version were pretty rare but still, as I say to a lot of the coaches and players I have worked with, you can be 99% brilliant in how you deal with someone but one badly placed comment, just as in this case, can destroy all the good work you have built up. It will be a fantastic next chapter for Greg and Pixie. He spoke so deeply about community and working together.

Dean Stott is an esteemed British Special Forces veteran, with 16 years of honorable service in conflict zones and leading rescue operations. Known as ‘The Frogman’, he is a sought-after international speaker, security director, philanthropist, professional adventurer and author. Dean travels the world giving lectures to a range of audiences, from business executives to students, and doctors to athletes. He uses his past experiences as a soldier to help others develop the strong mindsets needed to face adversity and overcome any challenges. When his career in the Special Boat Service was cut short by a serious knee injury sustained in a parachuting accident, medical experts advised him that he would not be able to continue to push the limits of his physical boundaries. In spite of this prognosis, Dean built a successful career as a Global Security Director for Stott Consultancy, which he founded with his wife, Alana. He is called upon for personal and corporate assignments, providing security solutions for a range of clients, including UHNW individuals, political leaders, governments and royal families. Dean is involved in many charitable endeavors. In 2018, he embarked on the Pan American Highway Challenge, cycling the world's longest road at 14,000 miles. Ultimately, Dean helped raise $1.2 million for the Heads Together campaign and 11 mental health charities. This endeavor also led to some impressive personal accolades: two Guinness World Records. He completed the challenge in a record time of 99 days, 12 hours and 56 minutes, becoming the first man in history to cycle the Pan American Highway in under 100 days. Dean is also an ambassador for the Special Boat Service Association, UK Emergency Services Giving and The Royal British Legion. His 2019 book, Relentless, takes the reader on a journey sharing the experience of his army training, the clandestine special forces operations, his parachuting accident and record-breaking biking achievement.

Ant Middleton is an adventurer, military vet, television host and author who is has become a majorly respected authority when it comes to survival and endurance techniques due to his experience within the elite and special forces.He went on to become of only a handful of those able to complete the military’s gruelling “Holy Trinity”, serving with the Paras, the Royal Marines and Special Forces (in the Special Boat Service, sister force of the SAS). He has served on military tours of Northern Ireland, Macedonia (peacekeeping), Sierra Leone and Afghanistan (in 2007 and 2008).Ant has remained grounded in a philosophy of embracing personal power and individual responsibility at all times. Ant has a very straightforward view of manhood and describes his peers as 'military alpha males'. Ant readily admits that he has been 'exposed' to so much that it's almost impossible for him to feel an adrenaline rush at this stage in his life...Most recently Ant has been caught up in a media storm after Channel 4 axed him from SAS: Who Dares Wins after five years, the broadcaster said that ant’s 'views and values we not aligned to theirs'. This is his first in-depth conversation he recorded since he was “cancelled”.

They may even have helped Adolf Hitler to reach power in 1933, but at the very top of the German hierachy some brave insurgents had begun, by 1936, to recognise the danger he posed. They began to plot against him, first by hindering his war effort, and then by attempting to kill him - up to 10 plots to assassinate Hitler were mounted during his leadership. Paddy Ashdown, who lead the Liberal Democrats for over a decade, was a member of the Special Boat Service and a Royal Marine, wrote a book about the assassination attempts on Hitler. He spoke to Dan about the people behind these plots and their outcomes. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode I chat to Jason Fox about his new book ‘Life Under Fire’ for those of you that aren’t familiar with Jason, he is a former Royal Marine Commando and Special Forces Sergeant. Joining at 16 and serving for 20 years; Jason passed the grueling selection process for the Special Forces in 2001, serving with the Special Boat Service till 2012. Jason has planned and led operations including hostage rescue, counter terrorism, counter insurgency, maritime counter terrorism, surveillance, body guarding and counter narcotic missions. He currently features in the channel 4 program - SAS: Who Dares Wins. The book is split into two parts, the first part the battle mind looks at his journey to a resilient life and mental approach. The second part - Strength and Guile looks at the lessons learned from his 20 years as an operator and royal marines commando and inferred learning to the reader. Concepts we explore include: The concept of graded exposure to training. The sense of community and brotherhood from war. Jason's struggles with PTSD and the emotional combat indicators that signify it. The ‘cigar moment’ and how it calms the central nervous system down. Awareness of your own vulnerabilities and how it can help protect you. The preferential mode of de-escalation over aggression (grey man, passive use of the weapon). High performing teams ability to self regulate rather than externally regulate. Reframing negative events and what it can teach us about resilience. The power of debrief also known as Sensitive Site Exploitation/SSE. The concept that there is a flattened hierarchy and everyone can contribute a game changing piece of information. Not resting in the aftermath of success and using failure as a teacher. I hope you enjoy the episode.

Few other UK martial arts instructors have such an extensive and authentic martial art CV. A former IKMF Expert level, Jon Hegan has trained in the martial arts for over 30 years. Jon is one of the few people in the world to be a full 1st degree black belt Professor in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu under UFC legend Royce Gracie. He is also a BJA Judo black belt. Jon is one the highest qualified Krav Maga instructors in Europe. Although anyone can teach martial arts, in order to teach a practical self-defence system like Krav Maga it helps to have some first-hand knowledge in dealing with ‘extreme’ violence. For 20 years Jon ensured this was the case. After a six-year service in the Royal Marines, serving in an operational commando unit, he then spent two years “on the door” as a bouncer. For 15 years he worked with young offenders in various secure units, experiencing a daily exposure to violence. As well as teaching a regular class, he also teaches Royce Gracie Jiu Jitsu at the Metropolitan Specialist Training Centre. There he has taught members of the Public Order instructors, as well as operators from the Special Air Service, and Special Boat Service.

Jason Fox is a former Royal Marine Commando and Special Forces Sergeant.  Joining at 16 and serving for 20 years, Jason passed the gruelling selection process for the Special Forces, serving with the Special Boat Service. Jason has planned and led operations including hostage rescue, counter-terrorism, counter-insurgency, maritime counter-terrorism, surveillance, bodyguarding and counter-narcotics missions.  Jason Fox is widely known to us after being right there from the start on SAS: Who Dares Wins putting members of the public and celebrities through the notorious selection process to make it in the SAS.  As we go, we unpick Jason's experiences and his story but we revolve around some pretty deep questions, about vulnerability and mental health and the journey of his mental health alongside the incredible achievements and status that he has achieved. We talk about PTSD and what that felt like and also the attitude towards mental health. Hear how that has changed for him and how he believes it will adapt going forward in the special forces and military.

Jason has planned and led operations including hostage rescue, counter terrorism, counter insurgency, maritime counter terrorism, surveillance, body guarding and counter narcotic missions.

Matthew 'Ollie' Ollerton is a former Special Forces soldier and a member of the Directing Staff on Channel 4's hit show SAS: Who Dares Wins. Ollie's military career began at the age of 18 when he joined the Royal Marine Commandos and toured operationally in Northern Ireland and in Iraq for Operation Desert Storm. He subsequently spent six years in the Special Boat Service rising to team leader, before working in Iraq as a private security contractor and carrying out charity work in South-East Asia. Ex-Special Forces soldier Ollie Ollerton knows more than his fair share about keeping going. As a recruit he survived the infamously tough SAS selection process on a busted ankle with the Directing Staff pleading with him to give up. But it's in Ollie's personal life that he really had to dig deep. At his lowest he was battling a failed relationship, substance abuse, depression and a pronounced death wish. After leaving the services Ollie found himself at a loss. Feeling worthless, lacking purpose, he turned to drink to numb the pain. Looking for a way out, Ollie made a discovery. Often in life we find ourselves looking for an external fix - drink, drugs, other people's agenda. But the truth is the solution is not out there, it's inside. In Battle Ready Ollie teaches you how to access this potential, find your inner strength and transform your life. From finding your purpose to visualising your outcome, to putting in a process to break bad habits and create positive new routines, Ollie's 12-step plan shows you how to make positive progress and recover when things go wrong. By following his plan, you can realise your full potential, find your happiness, and become battle ready. ‘Special Forces soldiers aren’t supermen. We’re just ordinary people, with the same frailties and vulnerabilities as everyone else. But ordinary people can achieve the extraordinary.’ Ollie Ollerton Instagram: @FreedomPact FreedomPact.co.uk

After more than two months alone at sea, Tim Crockett finished his 3,200-mile solo row across the Atlantic Ocean last Wednesday by making landfall in Antigua in the Caribbean. Starting from the island of La Gomera off Africa’s northwestern coast on Dec. 12, Wednesday’s completion put his trek time at 63 days, 2 hours and 37 minutes. A 48-year-old Royal Marine veteran, husband and father of two, Crockett had been one of only five solo rowers in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, an annual race across the Atlantic. Other participants in the challenge rowed in groups of two, three or four. Crockett placed second out of the solo teams, beaten only by 18-year old Lukas Haitzmann, who completed the event in 59 days, 8 hours and 22 minutes. Over the course of his excursion, Crockett celebrated Christmas and his birthday in his boat “Tame the Kraken,” a 24-foot, specially designed ocean rowboat specially designed to right itself if it capsizes in stormy weather. In a video posted Wednesday morning on the “Tame the Kraken” Facebook page, Crockett had told followers he was just under 12 miles away from harbor. “I may look like an Arctic explorer, but I’ve just been hit by some pretty nasty squalls,” Crockett said. “Hopefully we’re through the worst of that, we’ll get through these few final miles and it will be a fantastic welcome into Antigua.”   The trek was Crockett’s effort to raise money for U.S. and British veterans struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder. He served 12 years in the Royal Marines, seeing action in the first Iraq war and doing drug interdiction work in the seas as a member of the United Kingdom’s Special Boat Service. The motivation for his journey, he previously told the MDJ, came when an old military buddy committed suicide. Crockett had initially set a goal of completing his trek in 50 days or less, but complicating the effort early on was an injury — he tweaked his knee on the second night of the marathon. Other roadblocks on the sea included mechanical and equipment failure, sunburns and extreme heat. Check out my interview with Tim from this past June and make sure you get over to his website and donate some money.

Today on The Neil Haley Show, The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Shark Week Shark Stunt Survivors Paul de Gelder & James Glancy. PAUL DE GELDER: IMPROVISE. ADAPT. OVERCOME. These three words – A mantra Paul learnt in the Australian Army as a young Paratrooper – resonated with him the first time he heard them. Paul chased adventure wherever he could find it, from his wild ride as a hoodlum teen and his drug-and-alcohol fuelled stint working in a strip club to hauling his way up to the elite echelons of the defence forces as an Army Paratrooper and then Navy Clearance Diver. But trouble hunted him down in the form of a brutal shark in February 2009. Paul lost two limbs, and his career as a daredevil Diver was flung into jeopardy. Drawing on everything his eventful life had taught him, Paul left nothing to chance in his recovery. He fought through excruciating pain, smashing challenge after challenge, and amazing the medical staff with his will to succeed. His inspiring story takes ‘never say die' to a whole new level. In the seven years since the shark attack, Paul's life has changed in every aspect. JAMES GLANCY: James is a passionate wildlife conservationist and keen adventure sportsman. James has spent his life outdoors in wild and hostile places. As a child, James was taught to dive and swim with sharks by a former US Navy Seal who inspired him to join the British military. Over a 10 year military career, James was an Officer in the elite British Royal Marines and Special Boat Service. He deployed on multiple tours around the world, including three combat tours of Afghanistan.                 

Tim Crockett is a veteran of the British Royal Marines and Special Boat Service with service in Northern Ireland, the Balkans, and various other international assignments. He then worked as a security consultant for various clients including Turner Broadcasting, Al Jazeera America, VICE, and CNN International. He was instrumental CNN’s acquisition of a VHS tape library that showed Al Qaeda’s chemical gas experiments, terrorist training tactics, and previously unseen images of Bin Laden and his top aides in Afghanistan. He currently works in travel risk management, and international medical, security, and travel assistance.  Tim plans to row across the Atlantic Ocean solo and unassisted, which means he will not receive any resupply during the 3000 nautical mile journey. He will take part in an annual race called the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, which has been going on for more than 20 years now. Tim will attempt this amazing feat of human physical and mental endurance at the end of this year in order to raise awareness for veteran suicide and promote the individual connections that truly make the difference for those struggling.

GRP 75- Chantel Taylor and I begin this week's podcast by discussing some of the recent events taking place in the past week to include the U.S. dropping the largest nonnuclear bomb in its arsenal the MOAB, we also touched on some of the rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula and some other topics. Our special guest for this week's podcast is former British Special Forces Operator Jason Carl Fox. "Foxy" spent 20 years as a Royal Marine with the last 10 serving as a Special Boat Service commando. Foxy and I met up here in NYC and had an in-person interview. We discussed his background and career in the Royal Marines as well as his personal struggles with PTSD, and separation from the military. He's been very active lately working on television in the U.K. as well as anchoring programs to help veterans transition and teaching mindset and team building. Below is an excerpt: Foxy: I did multiple deployments predominately to Afghanistan. Everything from counter-narcotics to going after the big hitters on the opposite side. I was also involved in a high-profile hostage rescue operation. That was my last tour of Afghanistan and it was a defining few months for me. Within two days of the beginning of our tour, we went on this hostage rescue. The guy was a New York Times reporter. We were getting shot at in the sky while flying in for a good six minutes. You could see the Chinook behind us getting shot at. You could see air burst RPG's going off. I remember sitting there with a friend of mine and me I thought I was holding my knee and hurting it, but I was holding his and he was holding mine (laughs). We were willing the helicopter to land so we can gain some control over our destiny. We landed and ran off the back and into a crazy firefight. I was a senior guy by this time with multiple tours. I ran about 50 meters and dived into a ditch. The emotion must have been a split second. I remember thinking I wanted to be back at home. I reflected on that moment a lot. What did it mean? We were successful that night but lost a teammate.

Jason Carl Fox aka "Foxy" joined us. Foxy joined the Royal Marines at the age of 16 and after spending ten years with them, he joined the British Special Boat Service (Special Forces) and spent the next ten years on missions that took him across the globe. He separated from the military due to post traumatic stress (PTSD) in Apr 2012 and after working for a time in several positions, he and a friend found their passion to create a company at the same time Foxy received a call to join the crew at the new BBC television show "SAS: Who Dares Wins." We talk about all of this and his support of military with PTSD through a charity he cofounded (Rock 2 Recovery) as well as how was talked into crossing the Atlantic in a row boat!

When the BBC obtained exclusive pictures of Special Air Service soldiers fighting Islamic State militants in Syria, the Ministry of Defence refused to comment. British Special Forces are now on the ground in Libya as well - although nobody ever voted in favour sending them, and there has never been a debate in Parliament about it. In fact, it's a long-standing cross-party tradition that the government doesn't comment on the operations of the Special Air Service, the Special Boat Service, and other Special Forces units.In this edition of The Briefing Room, David Aaronovitch calls on expert researchers and former military offers to trace the development and current activities of Britain's Special Forces. Who are they and how many of them are there? Why, when we talk about military operations, do Special Forces not count as "boots on the ground"? And why are their activities so secret?CONTRIBUTORS:Mark Urban, Newsnight's defence and diplomatic correspondentRobin Horsfall, former SAS memberAnthony King, Professor of War Studies, University of WarwickEmily Knowles, Project Manager of the Remote Control Project, Oxford Research GroupDr Jon Moran, Reader in Security, University of LeicesterLt Col Stephen Grenier, author and former US Special Forces officerPRODUCER: Mike Wendling.

'ANDERS LASSEN'. Anders Lassen blev den højest dekorerede danske soldat i de allierede styrker. Tre gange blev han udmærket med et Military Cross og efter sin død tildeltes han endog Victoria-korset, der er den højeste britiske orden en soldat kan få for tapperhed udvist i fjendens nærvær. Han faldt på slagmarken i Norditalien som kun 24-årig den 9. April 1945. Forinden havde den tidligere sømand i den danske handelsflåde gjort en bemærkelsesværdig karriere fra menig frivillig commandosoldat til major i specialstyrkerne blandt andet i enheden Special Boat Service. I programmet taler vi om Anders Lassens begivenhedsrige korte liv med historiker og forfatter Thomas Harder, der har udgivet den seneste biografi om denne bemærkelsesværdige dansker, som allerede under krigen blev en mytisk skikkelse.
