youve earned a sub been watching a lot of your videos recently, Its nice too see your take and views on some of the points, like you say alot of people will just see the shouting and swearing and not take anything from it. At the end of the video you was correct, He posed as a recruit to get extra information and too keep a close eye on them. You should really watch the series, its awesome!
They also do the same show but with celebrities who are used to living affluent,comfortable lifestyles and he pushes them just as hard=A really good watch.
Yes Jamie was a mole on the inside, underperforming to add realism while every so often having secret meetings with Ant, Billy, Foxy and Ollie. He would tell them the strengths of the recruits but more importantly the weaknesses, so the DS's could push them to breaking point and VW.
Putin Bowling with nukes He’s saying ‘Arnt’ it’s just the pronunciation - like the toffs refer to ‘Barth’ in the UK instead of Bath, or ‘Arse’ spelt Ass.
Love your channel. I'm ex British forces, combat veteran Falklands 1982 where I did two tours, one for war day 1 through surrender in 82, and once for sustaining security in 83. Everything you've said is bang on. Thanks for doing this, most enjoyable.
Total respect to u for giving your respectful insight to this show aswell as being respectful in how Ant conducted himself. He's always been firm but fair. I've watched numerous things with him in & I've always been a big fan of his.
I am a former Navy Veteran. I love the format of training implemented here on this video. Life Lessons. You quickly learn to build a strong mindset of "WE" vs. "ME" A binding trust in a unit is very powerful. "A wise man adapts to the world around him. A foolish man expects the world to adapt around him" Love your channel!👍
Yes he was a participant known to the recruits as Jamie BUT he was under cover SAS giving intel on the recruits to the staff sergeants, It gave them all a shock!! LOL
You just look into these veterans eyes and you can see they have dealt with literal shite. You see their hurt. Props to you man. Thank you for your service.
Yes sir ! Jamie was part of the recruits for a few weeks then they brought him out. He was feeding info back to the DS. Good episode. Love your channel 💯💪🏽 watching from Scotland 🏴💙

This is a really interesting series. They have everyday people taking part and also TV celebrities versions too. They show how not only are these experts very tough as they need to be, but also that despite the toughness they are actually very kind and helpful. If you have had personal problems, situations in the past that have upset you then they will listen to them and try to help you out and encourage you that you are strong. I never realised how helpful and kind they could be until I watched this series. 😊❤️
'I think it's truly hard for these guys to turn it off. ' This statement could not be more true. My good friend spent a lot of time outside the wire in Afghanistan, and a few other deployments. He's now retired, but even now he still feels the need to do presence patrol's in his neighborhood before he goes to bed at night. It's just hard wired into him to always pay attention to his surroundings.

Yeah a great shame - he was sacrificed to the false "gods" of the politically correct wankers that infest all of our mainstream media. That is why after a fat seagull perched on my outdoor TV Ariel and collapsed it in the Summer of 2016 - I refused to have it put right even when a builder friend of mine offered to replace the rusty fittings refix it. It wasn't a hard decision in fact at that stage I was watching very little TV anyway and the news programs not at all as they were far too transparently biased for me to take them seriously. In fact I did watch RT from time to time because ironically I found it far less biased than our own BBC!!
@@ClassicCOD it was also due to other stuff he has done especially some of the stupid things he's said on social media including when he said not to self-isolate during the covid pandemic
yeh,,takes us upto 3 yrs to build a house..we sent guys from au to u.s,to train them on our product construction,,damn hard to get those yanks to move..worse than us.!..
Nah, we just have some lazy self-entitled shitheads that think they can move at their own pace. It is becoming an infection in this country that is only getting worse.
@@phantomwalker8251 it’s not all of the us, it’s a generational problem. These so-called millennials are some of the worst Ive ever seen. They’re a bunch of self entitled pussies. I have 4 kids, two of my own and two step kids, and I raised them all the way I was raised and be damned if I was ever going to allow them to act like a bunch of self entitled pricks I see in the news and walking the streets. One of those kids, my youngest step son (19), Is a little asshole though and his dads family spoils the shit out of him and his dad is a POS drug addict alcoholic women beater and has told his son he doesn’t have to listen to me or do as I say in my own house, so he and I have some serious issues with each other. Needless to say, he doesn’t live in this house anymore. Now I have one, my oldest step son (22), that’s in college and about to join the fire academy, he said he wants options in his life. I have another, my actual son (20), who is currently and MP/dog handler in the USMC and says he is making a career of it so he can retire at 38-40 and then either become a SWAT member when he gets out or private security. Lastly, my daughter (17), is about to graduate HS, is in the top-5 of her class, has been taking dual credit classes her entire high school career, is already enrolled in college and is planning to become an OBGYN Nurse Practitioner and something else which I can’t recall. So I think Ive done a damn good job as a father, 3 out of 4 ain’t bad, and I know they will be a positive force and influence in society.
I’ve never served military but it’s true; my dad is always whining about everything from day to day and he moves like he’s on continuous vacation. My grandfather, which served military (although not in the west) doesn’t complain about anything and works with less than only a 30% functioning heart, caused by his heart attack. He moves at a rapid pace even when he eats!!
I was Australian Infantry and left in 2005, but my training is still burnt into my brain. Once a Soldier, always a soldier. I can tell You'll always be a Marine too, we can never really be a normal Civvie and thats fine by me....
@Bill Ovchill 100% mate. Most Western Armies have perfected Breaking down Civvies and building up Soldiers. They haven't figured out how to return Soldiers to being civilians again though!
Have you seen the P Company documentary from 1992? I highly recommend it. It follows the Parachute Regiment selection process. I watched an interview with Sgt Eddie Stone et al a while ago and they basically said that during SAS selection, the DS don't care whether you pass or fail. They are not there to drive you on, it's all up to you whereas with the Para selection, the DS push you and try to get the best out of you. This series seems more in line with Para selection than SAS.
I agree. I love SAS WDW and tried to watch what I assumed is the American version, 'selection' because I thought it would be good. But I just found the US military guys sooo over the top, Couldn't watch it at all.
You should check out "SAS: Are you tough enough" It was still a watered down, shorter version of selection, but it was less dramatised, and more like the real thing. Some of the tabs were actually on the same routes used in real selection, but with softer time limits. There wasn't all the shouting and abuse, and the "recruits" were even given a mission to plan and execute with blank rounds
Found u by chance , love your comment at the end how u said “I’m getting into this show”. I’m watching the Australian series during the week, started 1 episode and a couple of nights later iv caught up 12 episode. SAS Respect ✊
He was a recruit gathering Intel and sharing it. He had to scale down his performance so the other guys didn't think how good he was. He said that was the hardest thing. They got him to lose something and the group got punished. He handed his number in and then got revealed. Then you saw the ruthless side of him as a DS
Yeah, Jamie was one of the participants at the beginning, acting like he was a civilian, but really he was a spy for the Directiing Staff (DS). It’s a great show, there’s about 6 seasons of it now.
Seen the show. Jamie was part of the civilians planted by the staff as a mole, to gather info on like who was weak and strong. They did this a few more times. Good show!!!!!
I agree about his demeanor. As an aside,he looks like King Leonidas from 300. Also,I've noticed that Ant has a certain kind of look in his eyes. There's a war movie called 12 Strong starring Chris Hemsworth from The Avengers movies and the Thor movies and it's based on a true story.And in the movie,there's a great scene where Afghan warlord General Abdul Rasheed Dostum talks about warriors who have the ''killer eyes''. Ant's definitely got the killer eyes,just as former U.S. Navy SEAL Jocko Willink and many others who were in the military have the ''killer eyes''.
@@JR-ju3kj I started reading his book "The Fear Bubble". In the opening chapter, Ant is talking about a meeting he had with a guy in one of London's numerous wealthy private members clubs. He mentions that during the meeting his mind started to wander and he began to fantasise about how he would react if a bunch of terrorists/armed men stormed the building. He picked out items to be used as weapons, where he would take cover, and even thought about the damage the heavy glass ashtray would do to the face of the man he was actually having the meeting with. An interesting insight. Men like him from their experience, can "switch on" at a split second's notice.
@@RayGlennYT Jamie tho... then fucking years in the 22nd S.A.S. Regiment? The man looks like your average coffee deinking mate but could kick your ass 42 different ways if he had to.
They go through the exact same training man. Difference is Ant was in the navy equivalent of the special forces ( SBS ) rather than the Special Air Service ( SAS ) Also Ant is a legend being a sniper for so long aswell as always being the first man into a compound. Also he served as part of a holy trinity in the British armed forces a Royal Marine 9 Para & the SBS
You can learn so much, even for civilian life, if you undergo military training. I've only had training for 9 months, 7 years ago, and I still find myself doing things I've learned there.
While it's great to be physically strong. When it comes to this type of training, your mind is the strongest muscle. Mind over matter..... If you don't mind, it still doesn't matter.
This sneak peek was ridiculously intriguing lol I absolutely can not wait to see what happens next. I like this Art guy's personality, though. He's really stern, but you can tell he cares about the contestants n their wellbeing. Appreciate the preview n keep rockin, brother🤘🎸
Really enjoy watching you react to the UK military. I'm from Manchester, UK and served in ok telic 2 Iraq 2003. SAS who dares wins is a great reality tv show. You should read the 4 autobiographies the instructors wrote. The older one out of the lot (BILLY BILLINGHAM) Is the real deal. 17 years old straight into the parachute regiment then onto the SAS..he's a beast and has been knighted by the queen. His book is unreal. Thanks for the content..really enjoyed all your videos.
Mark “Billy" Billingham spent 27 years in the military, 17 of those in the SAS. He rose to the rank of Warrant Officer Class 1 (Sergeant Major) the highest rank for a soldier. Some of his time in the SAS was as an instructor and DS on selection. You're right, he is a beast. He was never knighted though, otherwise he would be “Sir Mark Billingham." He received an MBE from the Queen, not a knighthood.
My brother was a SAS Sargent in Vietnam. I applied and was rejected. Years later I asked my brother if he could find out why I was rejected and he was told I was mentally unstable. Looking back to 1968 (from memory) I can see they really knew their job.
In basic training back in July 2012 one recruit got told to come in pt, he told us to show up in full combats. So the Sgt said “ go back and change in pt 2 minutes” then show up in pt and then says “ everyone in full combats 2 minutes” kept doing it for 1 hour and a half. The recruit listen flawless after!
SBS is a branch of the SAS that specialize more in water based operations, similar I guess to Navy Seals, but is still under the same umbrella as SAS, doesnt get talked about as much though
Learn the hard way to do it the right way. Was what I took from 14 yrs in the British army. Enjoyed a visit to your own fair country while I was in too , turned out the beer wasn't as weak as we'd been lead to believe 😁. Respect from across the pond
Being cold or in the elements is deadly....I have been homeless and went through basic this year. It hurts when you are in those conditions and if you're In the Cold and wet you will suffer greatly and can die. You have to be smart and you have to understand when you're numb and shaking it's gonna be hard to focus let alone move and worry about your team so take care of yourself otherwise you screw everyone over. I may be set out on my first deployment so I am focusing on making sure I help my team.
That Billy guy, Billy Billingham did 27yrs service, 17 as a sniper in the SAS. He went on to be Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's, Tom Cruise, Sir Michael Caine and Russel Crow's personal bodyguard.
Hearing the way these British special forces don’t care about anyone’s feelings and how they focus on results and efficiency puts the biggest smile on my American face 🙂I miss when we could put stuff like this on TV
You should find clips of some of the interviews they do when they pull them in for questioning, theres one where the participant was found guilty by the DS of committing stolen Valor, and two really sad stories that the participants have (genuinely)
The guy who heard is wife being murdered on the end of a phone while he was helpless hundreds of miles away. Listening to his kids try to wake their mummy up. That was a tough one to watch.
10:36-10:37 "Your relying on these other idiots" is exactly the point. This would not be an easy challenge, let alone actual SAS selection. If the instructor/trainer tells you to put warm clean cloths on its for a legitimate reason. What a carry-on. I'd have binned all those he called out.
SBS, it's just as elite as the SAS and I believe they've got the complete respect from the SAS. I think they just use SAS as the programme title as it's more widely known.
What I love about all military worldwide & this guy narrating proves my point, there is a natural kind of team mentality automaticly have a real respect for each other.
'Jamie' was one of the 'participants' of the show. He gained intel on how the recruits were doing; their weaknesses and strengths all whilst acting and living like one of them. He profiled them. Then he fed this information the DS, who later used it to tap into the recruit's personalities exposing their weaknesses to build them up or tear them down.
On my grandpa's B1 Para gear the slogan "Who dares wins" is also present. We are Belgians and my grandpa didn't speak good English, always said it's a Latin sentence. 😅
You may or may not know that: During WW2, many of the Belgian 1st Parachutist Battalion were part of the British 5th Special Air Service and after the war, they retained the SAS badge, motto and many of their traditions. Therefore, it looks like your grand father was technically an SAS soldier.
I meant to say you give fascinating insight and explanation as well as very informative opinions. You have my subscription, I wish you the best future sir.
One year a 5 ft 2 woman won she was as tuff as fk no moaning or complaining she got into the mind set that you would need even the sas guys said if she joined up thay would have no problem serving with her
@@abhijithanilkumar4959 SAS don't train first. You get selected. And this course is the selection course for the UK SAS. She made the selection, even going through the interrogation phase of 13 hours. That is why they said, they'd gladly serve with her. Also, whilst I'm not sure on the UK, here in NZ, we have a female regiment that goes through the same training the SAS does, and have even been praised. They're used mostly for missions where men would be culturally unacceptable, or where problems that may arise with the men, are gone with females. Such as looking at an Afghan Warlords wife. Females can, males cannot.
@@paulhumphreys8238 Get your facts right, its one male officer, and one female officer. After leaving the armed forces, after serving for many years and seeing combat. Ive read and heard how hard it is to transition back to being a civilian. Very hard to turn it off. Ant owned it, said how he regretted it, and I bet he also apologised to the police officers involved. My last four relationships have been with men who don't mind getting hands on with a woman (and men), most have been that way their whole life, they won't change. They didnt do 4 months jail for what they did (yes should have called police, but its never as simple as that). Ant has changed, and overcame his demons and succeeded. Look at him now. Wife, 5 lovely kids, older, wiser and a true leader. And now a TV star, alongside his awesome, tough as fk colleagues!
As brutal as the training is I am surprised they are allowed to sigh out commands and say "shit" and "I am so sorry" in front of their instructor. Just a callback from my old bootcamp days.
Yes "Jamie" was in the group for about 2 weeks. They sent him to gather as much information as possible and at some points they would snick him out to pass on the info. Also great video mate 👍👍
Would absolutely love to see you react to the episode on SAS who dares wins (season 2 i think?) with the walter mitty guy !! You would be in for an absolute treat sir !! And your audience too!
I see these videos and I see love. It takes love to put this much effort into improving someone, and I very much appreciate it. I don't think those people even 10% understand the value they're getting out of that TV show.
@THE Don Spaghetti & Ravioli yeah I'm aware mate, was just clarifying that the selection process is the same, training is different. Theres also additional training for the SAS for example mountain troop

This guy Middleton is right on point. The cold weather issue, leaving things behind loosing equipment . Excellent points made.
He has written several books. They are instructive and well worth reading.

His books are really good, have great ways of dealing with fear and negativity, helped me to change my life for the better..

That is why after a fat seagull perched on my outdoor TV Ariel and collapsed it in the Summer of 2016 - I refused to have it put right even when a builder friend of mine offered to replace the rusty fittings refix it. It wasn't a hard decision in fact at that stage I was watching very little TV anyway and the news programs not at all as they were far too transparently biased for me to take them seriously. In fact I did watch RT from time to time because ironically I found it far less biased than our own BBC!!
someone complained about him and they asked him to leave
@@ClassicCOD it was also due to other stuff he has done especially some of the stupid things he's said on social media including when he said not to self-isolate during the covid pandemic
@@austinhayles3328 and he was right. Covid to this day had still never been proven to be isolated or purified.
@@austinhayles3328 it wasn’t during it was at the beginning where no one knew what the answer was.
The one thing I've never been able to get used to in civilians is how Godd-amned SLOW they move, and how they Cannot Suffer in Silence!
yeh,,takes us upto 3 yrs to build a house..we sent guys from au to u.s,to train them on our product construction,,damn hard to get those yanks to move..worse than us.!..
Nah, we just have some lazy self-entitled shitheads that think they can move at their own pace. It is becoming an infection in this country that is only getting worse.
@@phantomwalker8251 it’s not all of the us, it’s a generational problem. These so-called millennials are some of the worst Ive ever seen. They’re a bunch of self entitled pussies. I have 4 kids, two of my own and two step kids, and I raised them all the way I was raised and be damned if I was ever going to allow them to act like a bunch of self entitled pricks I see in the news and walking the streets. One of those kids, my youngest step son (19), Is a little asshole though and his dads family spoils the shit out of him and his dad is a POS drug addict alcoholic women beater and has told his son he doesn’t have to listen to me or do as I say in my own house, so he and I have some serious issues with each other. Needless to say, he doesn’t live in this house anymore. Now I have one, my oldest step son (22), that’s in college and about to join the fire academy, he said he wants options in his life. I have another, my actual son (20), who is currently and MP/dog handler in the USMC and says he is making a career of it so he can retire at 38-40 and then either become a SWAT member when he gets out or private security. Lastly, my daughter (17), is about to graduate HS, is in the top-5 of her class, has been taking dual credit classes her entire high school career, is already enrolled in college and is planning to become an OBGYN Nurse Practitioner and something else which I can’t recall. So I think Ive done a damn good job as a father, 3 out of 4 ain’t bad, and I know they will be a positive force and influence in society.
ironic that you had to chime in like a civilian, instead of suffering in silence
I’ve never served military but it’s true; my dad is always whining about everything from day to day and he moves like he’s on continuous vacation. My grandfather, which served military (although not in the west) doesn’t complain about anything and works with less than only a 30% functioning heart, caused by his heart attack. He moves at a rapid pace even when he eats!!
I was Australian Infantry and left in 2005, but my training is still burnt into my brain. Once a Soldier, always a soldier. I can tell You'll always be a Marine too, we can never really be a normal Civvie and thats fine by me....
@Bill Ovchill Agreed, I'm a Grunt for life!
@Bill Ovchill 100% mate. Most Western Armies have perfected Breaking down Civvies and building up Soldiers. They haven't figured out how to return Soldiers to being civilians again though!
Agreed
Finally, a reaction that's not just a reaction but some thoughtful comments too.
Jamie was one of the recruits who just before that he gave his number in.
Love this series. Best of British = SAS.
Respect to all who have served, our home & our allies.
Have you seen the P Company documentary from 1992? I highly recommend it. It follows the Parachute Regiment selection process. I watched an interview with Sgt Eddie Stone et al a while ago and they basically said that during SAS selection, the DS don't care whether you pass or fail. They are not there to drive you on, it's all up to you whereas with the Para selection, the DS push you and try to get the best out of you. This series seems more in line with Para selection than SAS.
It's television, brother. An uninterested DS wouldn't make interesting telly.
Yeah. They put him in the recruits as a spy for the DS. He got a lot of info and was able the weed the group very effectively.
We learned that first Day in USMC Recruit training. Your your Bothers keeper and defender!
Nor sure whether this has already been brought up yet, however FYI selection is not like this programme, it does offer entertainment value.
I agree. I love SAS WDW and tried to watch what I assumed is the American version, 'selection' because I thought it would be good. But I just found the US military guys sooo over the top, Couldn't watch it at all.
Ye, go watch 'sas, are you tough enough' with Eddy Stone is a billion times better....
You should check out "SAS: Are you tough enough" It was still a watered down, shorter version of selection, but it was less dramatised, and more like the real thing. Some of the tabs were actually on the same routes used in real selection, but with softer time limits. There wasn't all the shouting and abuse, and the "recruits" were even given a mission to plan and execute with blank rounds
Seems interesting
I much prefer Are you Tough enough
Yeah "Jamie" Was acting as a contestant but was undercover the whole time, watching this unfold after watching the whole show was pretty intense!
The best thing I’ve watched so far was when ‘Jamie’ was revealed as Staff to the recruits
Classic lessons on display I hope to see more videos like this great commentary in all your videos as well
Found u by chance , love your comment at the end how u said “I’m getting into this show”. I’m watching the Australian series during the week, started 1 episode and a couple of nights later iv caught up 12 episode. SAS Respect ✊
He was a recruit gathering Intel and sharing it. He had to scale down his performance so the other guys didn't think how good he was. He said that was the hardest thing. They got him to lose something and the group got punished. He handed his number in and then got revealed. Then you saw the ruthless side of him as a DS
Yeah, Jamie was one of the participants at the beginning, acting like he was a civilian, but really he was a spy for the Directiing Staff (DS). It’s a great show, there’s about 6 seasons of it now.
Seen the show. Jamie was part of the civilians planted by the staff as a mole, to gather info on like who was weak and strong. They did this a few more times. Good show!!!!!
Everything about Ant's demeanor screams badass. I've never watched the show... any reality show... but I want to see this one.
I agree about his demeanor. As an aside,he looks like King Leonidas from 300.
Also,I've noticed that Ant has a certain kind of look in his eyes.
There's a war movie called 12 Strong starring Chris Hemsworth from The Avengers movies and the Thor movies and it's based on a true story.And in the movie,there's a great scene where Afghan warlord General Abdul Rasheed Dostum talks about warriors who have the ''killer eyes''. Ant's definitely got the killer eyes,just as former U.S. Navy SEAL Jocko Willink and many others who were in the military have the ''killer eyes''.
@@JR-ju3kj I started reading his book "The Fear Bubble". In the opening chapter, Ant is talking about a meeting he had with a guy in one of London's numerous wealthy private members clubs. He mentions that during the meeting his mind started to wander and he began to fantasise about how he would react if a bunch of terrorists/armed men stormed the building. He picked out items to be used as weapons, where he would take cover, and even thought about the damage the heavy glass ashtray would do to the face of the man he was actually having the meeting with. An interesting insight. Men like him from their experience, can "switch on" at a split second's notice.
@yortzandat you cant be ex SAS and not be a badass. Anyone who disagrees doesn't know anything about the SAS. His body language is very telling.
@yortzandat thanks for the lesson and all but I'm former Canadian Forces. Km well aware of how course officers come across.
@@JR-ju3kj cringe level 10
"People don't join us because we are better, people join us because they are better."
Seeing The SAS even in reality tv is like watching a legend at work these guys are some of the best
@Hew Jarsols wha
Billy Bellingham must made of granite having heard his army career, what a man
Billy billingham he's the most decorated sas soldier that's alive today.
It’s mark billingham billy is his nick name for his second name
Mark is the highest rank there. Ex WO1 RSM.
lracnosbig1 is he really?
Roger D u got any links I can look into
"Failure to follow simple instructions." Something we heard ALL OF THE TIME in the Marines.
Ant is former SBS, however one of the other instructors is a 22SAS legend.
They're both special forces, it's the same. Also Ant is a legend himself being a sniper for so long.
@@RayGlennYT Jamie tho... then fucking years in the 22nd S.A.S. Regiment? The man looks like your average coffee deinking mate but could kick your ass 42 different ways if he had to.
They go through the exact same training man. Difference is Ant was in the navy equivalent of the special forces ( SBS ) rather than the Special Air Service ( SAS ) Also Ant is a legend being a sniper for so long aswell as always being the first man into a compound. Also he served as part of a holy trinity in the British armed forces a Royal Marine 9 Para & the SBS
@@chrissilvester5663 9 para 🤮🤮🤮 you mean 9 parachute Squadron royal engineers..There is only 1 Para, 2 Para, the mighty 3 Para and 4 para (Reserves)
I really enjoy watching you react to this show, I've seen all the episodes and it's relentless, they try to break everyone.
Keep them coming please.
You can learn so much, even for civilian life, if you undergo military training. I've only had training for 9 months, 7 years ago, and I still find myself doing things I've learned there.
While it's great to be physically strong. When it comes to this type of training, your mind is the strongest muscle. Mind over matter..... If you don't mind, it still doesn't matter.
WHO'S GONNA CARRY THE BOATS?
The military has certainly had time to perfect the art of making warriors and weeding out the others
This sneak peek was ridiculously intriguing lol I absolutely can not wait to see what happens next. I like this Art guy's personality, though. He's really stern, but you can tell he cares about the contestants n their wellbeing. Appreciate the preview n keep rockin, brother🤘🎸
He does care and I suspect it’s hard to ‘act’ the part when he was the real deal.
@@JamesonsTravels Certainly
Ant Middleton his name is.
@@jordandavies8718 Appreciate the correction. Didn't notice until now lol
Tyler Byrd no problemo my friend
Great channel! Really like your insights from your experience and respect your service. Thank you from the UK.
I love these reaction videos. Always good to see another's point of view.
These SAS reaction videos are class. Keep them coming brother. I love that show
Its so comic that he likes ant but calls him art, love it lol
He's over here in Australia with celebs right now, good times.
Really enjoy watching you react to the UK military. I'm from Manchester, UK and served in ok telic 2 Iraq 2003. SAS who dares wins is a great reality tv show. You should read the 4 autobiographies the instructors wrote. The older one out of the lot (BILLY BILLINGHAM) Is the real deal. 17 years old straight into the parachute regiment then onto the SAS..he's a beast and has been knighted by the queen. His book is unreal. Thanks for the content..really enjoyed all your videos.
Mark “Billy" Billingham spent 27 years in the military, 17 of those in the SAS. He rose to the rank of Warrant Officer Class 1 (Sergeant Major) the highest rank for a soldier. Some of his time in the SAS was as an instructor and DS on selection.
You're right, he is a beast. He was never knighted though, otherwise he would be “Sir Mark Billingham." He received an MBE from the Queen, not a knighthood.
@R A lol course you do.
Are there any ex- SAS,SBS,SEAL,operators in general who don't write books about their service?What happened to quiet professionals?
@@doctorenda8590 they are. You wont find alot about the 2000s. The time before that has nothing to say.
My brother was a SAS Sargent in Vietnam. I applied and was rejected. Years later I asked my brother if he could find out why I was rejected and he was told I was mentally unstable. Looking back to 1968 (from memory) I can see they really knew their job.
Were you mental then
"He was told I was mentally unstable"
===> Was that a synonym for "he's not brainwashed enough to die for our worthless cause"?
SAS in Vietnam?? Really?? 🤣
Billy bullahitter here bad Walt you rat
@@samuelgarrod8327 The SASR were there so maybe he means that? Doesn't come across as a convict though.
In basic training back in July 2012 one recruit got told to come in pt, he told us to show up in full combats. So the Sgt said “ go back and change in pt 2 minutes” then show up in pt and then says “ everyone in full combats 2 minutes” kept doing it for 1 hour and a half. The recruit listen flawless after!
Ant Middleton was and most of those guys were SBS. Mark Billington was the only SAS member until recently. All hard as nails though
Jamie was SAS aswell
Collin too
SBS is a branch of the SAS that specialize more in water based operations, similar I guess to Navy Seals, but is still under the same umbrella as SAS, doesnt get talked about as much though
They’re two completely different units, governed by different branches of the armed forces, the SBS certainly is not part of the SAS
Incorrect ryan, they are both under the command of the Director Of Special Forces
Learn the hard way to do it the right way. Was what I took from 14 yrs in the British army. Enjoyed a visit to your own fair country while I was in too , turned out the beer wasn't as weak as we'd been lead to believe 😁. Respect from across the pond
Being cold or in the elements is deadly....I have been homeless and went through basic this year. It hurts when you are in those conditions and if you're In the Cold and wet you will suffer greatly and can die. You have to be smart and you have to understand when you're numb and shaking it's gonna be hard to focus let alone move and worry about your team so take care of yourself otherwise you screw everyone over. I may be set out on my first deployment so I am focusing on making sure I help my team.
That Billy guy, Billy Billingham did 27yrs service, 17 as a sniper in the SAS. He went on to be Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's, Tom Cruise, Sir Michael Caine and Russel Crow's personal bodyguard.
I thought it was Chris Ryan.
He wasn't just a sniper. He's basically trained in virtually everything. Jungle warfare, demolitions, hostage rescue, medic, you name it.
@@richardhurr31 I know, that's what they train for.
Matty UK plays a good part in the movie the gunman with Sean Penn
Billy has a couple of videos on RUclips reacting to films. Hes a good guy.
Hope you're good Matty.
Hearing the way these British special forces don’t care about anyone’s feelings and how they focus on results and efficiency puts the biggest smile on my American face 🙂I miss
when we could put stuff like this on TV
You should find clips of some of the interviews they do when they pull them in for questioning, theres one where the participant was found guilty by the DS of committing stolen Valor, and two really sad stories that the participants have (genuinely)
I watched that the other day, had matey sweating hard...
The guy who heard is wife being murdered on the end of a phone while he was helpless hundreds of miles away. Listening to his kids try to wake their mummy up. That was a tough one to watch.
Who's Art Middleton? .... ya mean ANT? The irony is this entire episode is about people not paying attention to details ....
hahaha
Them Collins folk Marty art ?
The reality of this situation, is that you just want to give him one big fat kiss on the cheek.
LMAO...... Your right!!
@Billy Big Bollocks Nah that's not true, He has respect, wouldn't be making this video if he didn't.. the Americans actually admire the SAS
Ant is the perfect blend of gentleman and beast.
Look at his history lol
10:36-10:37 "Your relying on these other idiots" is exactly the point. This would not be an easy challenge, let alone actual SAS selection. If the instructor/trainer tells you to put warm clean cloths on its for a legitimate reason. What a carry-on. I'd have binned all those he called out.
Yes he was SAS but went undercover as a recruit to gather info, that was a good moment and the recruits had no idea.😉
@dany stone Proberly talking about Jamie.
SBS not sas
@@alanlee1355 learn to read, Alan.
SBS, it's just as elite as the SAS and I believe they've got the complete respect from the SAS. I think they just use SAS as the programme title as it's more widely known.
@@flemit35 I've heard there's even more disciplines learnt due to the scope of their work.
What I love about all military worldwide & this guy narrating proves my point, there is a natural kind of team mentality automaticly have a real respect for each other.
When I was in, the guy that messed up just stood and watched while everyone else beat their face.
'Jamie' was one of the 'participants' of the show. He gained intel on how the recruits were doing; their weaknesses and strengths all whilst acting and living like one of them. He profiled them. Then he fed this information the DS, who later used it to tap into the recruit's personalities exposing their weaknesses to build them up or tear them down.
He was a Marine so I believe he was SBS. In fact I think most of the DS on this were SBS. SAS is just a more well known name around the world.
That's true, only Billy and Jay were SAS. Ant, Olly and Foxy were all SBS.
Great analysis mate, great respect to Ant, from ex Aussie Para 😊
I like that reality show from what I could see. Ant was taking it seriously for a show.
They should be glad they are not in the Roman Legions. They would have faced Decimation.
You're a burden only to yourselves, but to the group, you're an anchor. You're holding everyone back from the flow of things.
Who’s this Art Middleton you’re always talking about? Is he Ant’s brother? Is it one of those SF things where their identity has to be kept secret?
Hilarious.
On my grandpa's B1 Para gear the slogan "Who dares wins" is also present.
We are Belgians and my grandpa didn't speak good English, always said it's a Latin sentence. 😅
You may or may not know that: During WW2, many of the Belgian 1st Parachutist Battalion were part of the British 5th Special Air Service and after the war, they retained the SAS badge, motto and many of their traditions.
Therefore, it looks like your grand father was technically an SAS soldier.
I meant to say you give fascinating insight and explanation as well as very informative opinions. You have my subscription, I wish you the best future sir.
Loving watching the Australian version of this, with the same Staff.
One year a 5 ft 2 woman won she was as tuff as fk no moaning or complaining she got into the mind set that you would need even the sas guys said if she joined up thay would have no problem serving with her
In what episode?
episode??
Bs
No women(biologically)has ever passed a real sf training
If one does either they lowered the standard for her or the standard is already low
You refering to the SAS: Are you tough Enough show in 2002. A female doctor completed the course along with others but was not chosen by the DS
@@abhijithanilkumar4959 SAS don't train first. You get selected. And this course is the selection course for the UK SAS. She made the selection, even going through the interrogation phase of 13 hours. That is why they said, they'd gladly serve with her.
Also, whilst I'm not sure on the UK, here in NZ, we have a female regiment that goes through the same training the SAS does, and have even been praised. They're used mostly for missions where men would be culturally unacceptable, or where problems that may arise with the men, are gone with females. Such as looking at an Afghan Warlords wife. Females can, males cannot.
SAS Instructor: *Slays Recruits*
Marines watching: *Insert Leo DiCaprio Laughing face*
Hey mate they are now doing SAS Australia, has heaps of celebrity’s and the famous drug smuggler Chapelle corby on it! So far it’s amazing
Dmutto by far! Honey badger is a machine
I'd like to see 25 normal Aussies chucked in the mix, hope thats next. Best TV I seen in a long time, apart from the footy ))
Back in 2013 he was sentenced to 14 months in jail for assaulting two FEMALE police officers, what a big man!!!!!
@Dmutto Haha
@@paulhumphreys8238 Get your facts right, its one male officer, and one female officer. After leaving the armed forces, after serving for many years and seeing combat. Ive read and heard how hard it is to transition back to being a civilian. Very hard to turn it off. Ant owned it, said how he regretted it, and I bet he also apologised to the police officers involved. My last four relationships have been with men who don't mind getting hands on with a woman (and men), most have been that way their whole life, they won't change. They didnt do 4 months jail for what they did (yes should have called police, but its never as simple as that). Ant has changed, and overcame his demons and succeeded. Look at him now. Wife, 5 lovely kids, older, wiser and a true leader. And now a TV star, alongside his awesome, tough as fk colleagues!
As brutal as the training is I am surprised they are allowed to sigh out commands and say "shit" and "I am so sorry" in front of their instructor. Just a callback from my old bootcamp days.
I lost Handshoes when i was in german Military Training, the whole Squad search it for more then 5 Hours. NEVER lose your Equipment!
Yes "Jamie" was in the group for about 2 weeks.
They sent him to gather as much information as possible and at some points they would snick him out to pass on the info.
Also great video mate 👍👍
Would absolutely love to see you react to the episode on SAS who dares wins (season 2 i think?) with the walter mitty guy !! You would be in for an absolute treat sir !! And your audience too!
I see these videos and I see love. It takes love to put this much effort into improving someone, and I very much appreciate it. I don't think those people even 10% understand the value they're getting out of that TV show.
MATE, YOU ARE SOOOO RIGHT !!!
Those SAS blokes are not to be messed with!!
People may not like ant, but the man is one hell of a unit.
I absolutely loved watching this, and respect the training and lessons being taught. I would love to see how far I’d last.
I have absolutely no problem admiting that i wouldnt last five minutes
As a combat veteran of AFG and IRQ, once you’ve seen allied blood in the dirt, you know why combat arms training absolutely has to be like this.
Just to clarify, the only ex-SAS member in that program is Billie Billingham, the rest are from the sister SF SBS. :)
and the "undercover" one, he is also SAS. But SBS is very close to SAS if we think selection.
It’s the same selection you pair of eejits!!!
They are practically the same. SAS is like the army version and SBS is the Navy version. Both same selection, similar training and same secrecy
The selection for the SAS and the SBS is exactly the same.
@THE Don Spaghetti & Ravioli yeah I'm aware mate, was just clarifying that the selection process is the same, training is different.
Theres also additional training for the SAS for example mountain troop
