This was fantastic, Mick comes across very relaxed but I’d hate to be on the wrong side of him 😳
Going to depot in September 82 in JPC was a real bonus, because by the time recruit company came the DS were mainly Falkland veterans and being trained by them was brilliant. Was at a JPC reunion when Mick gave a talk at the military cemetery in the shot about the young lads who were killed, Neil, Jason and Ian, very humbling and lump in throat time. Massive respect ✊
A great watch and knowing Mick personally, what a cracking honest upfront chat that was. I was 46 in JPC, and went to 1 Para, so gutted when we watched all these young lads go south whilst we were in NI. Also did juniors with Mick in 88, first six weeks Aldershot, then six weeks in Brecon. Great to see Mick well, as there was some chatter a while back he was not in good shape, so that’s blown that chatter out. Keep chatting with the Reg guys, who are direct, to the point without bravado. To many at the moment writing books, showing up on podcasts and banging on about what they did, although likely didn’t. All the best men. AB
Thanks for watching
This was, I would say, the best podcast I've ever seen. I've met Mick, in fact he traindd me in first aid at the cops, and straight away, he came across as a very honest, straight talking guy. Brilliant.
Thank you x
Clearing a bunker and finding Tom Smith inside, after I put the pin back in, I passed his 2 x Nikon F2 cameras into the bunker; glad he made good use of them!
Good to see you well Mick.
Rudyard Kipling's Tommy Atkins poem or George Orwell's speech in the commons saying basically be grateful that rough men guard. The ramparts that you sleep comfortably behind.comes to mind here ,

Hi, Trevor Coult sent me your way and when i saw this video i thought yes! Please can you tell me if the story of Prince Andrew using his helicopters down draft to stop the flames reaching the sailors who were in the water after their ship was hit???? I always give him credit for this but since it turns out that Harry "frontline" duties turned out to be him and the pilot flying around fort bastion and him sleeping through the attack kn the fort in his bunker. Please tell me Andrew's story isn't full of crap as well?..

Don't quote me but I think the depot move either late 1993 early 1994
1993 I've since been informed 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Could have sworn it was later than that. I was thinking 95-96.
Yeah was 93
