A training course where the quality of the skin on your hands was the worse thing ! Sounds like the navy

Phil Campion could no doubt be a standup comedian!🤣🤣What a guy, after everything he went through as a kid to still be this force of giddy optimism and have a great career is simply excellent! Top episode!💯

Big Phil’s a breath of fresh air, his own podcast is top tier also

Phil was my cop commander for 2 years,best 2 years of my military career...It was an absolute honour to serve with Phil before his well deserved SAS Legendary Status.... Proper Legend and Top Geezer......bless up...

Phill is a legend! Hes a big lad with a even bigger character, a proper stand up guy.

Phil Campion is the epitome of an SAS Blade, just like all the other guys who have served in its ranks through the years. And just so people know ,Phil has earned his Green beret having done the "AACC"All srms commando course. Also his Maroon beret ,having passed P-Company and the most famous of all the, Special forces selection to earn his SAS sandy beret and blue stable belt. Passing all three of the hardest training's in the British military, and considered some of the hardest training out of any Military. What Phil done is known as the Holy Trinity in the British army,he passed/earned the three hardest training's out of them all.

@nickjohnson710 Don't know their pass rate for the SAS/SBS, but one of the Regiments that have got a 99% pass rate for sending lads is 59 Commando Royal Engineers now "24 Commando" R.E. Dean Stott and Ant Middleton are just two who served with them,but it would have been 59 Commando at the time.

@nickjohnson710 I'm not talking about specialist training like the M.L ,I'm talking standard training like P-company. You could say the Path finders is another hard one aswell,as is SRR selection.

Really enjoy hearing Phil. became aware of him years back as a talking head on a documentary. Seeing him on forces radio looks like he's found a second calling.

Phil being very insightful of the Troubles in NI.

The Debrief is one of my favourite podcasts.

I could listen to this guy all day long!

Phil is a great character with great banter. I just hope it translates well across the pond!

Need more Phil on tv, breath of fresh air

I'm a Brit. When the pressure's on our sense of humour shines through and we'll have a nice cup of tea.

There are People who know and appreciate everything you SF guys have done and continue to do and all veterans who have served . Great interview, Thanks again Phil …..

I’m a father of a 11 month old son who’s currently running around smiling and playing with the curtains. Seeing these stories from these amazing people is heartbreaking with their childhoods. My goal as a father is to never let my son experience what these amazing people experienced. Sorry if it’s a bit left field comment.

I'm so Proud that he's one of us a True down to earth fella we love Big Phil he's doing a good job after everything he sacrificed through and going to war good & bad and all the awesome achievements after that Thank you Great Podcast we love you Big Phil your are Legend.....🙏🫶🇬🇧

Phil is an absolute British legend

Awesome interview. Wish it was longer. Im American and been a fan of Phils a long time. He seems like he would be a cool guy to have a beer with tons of stories and laughs

Phil is a stud. What a fella!!! Ex-SAS, but doesn't show it off, very humble and self deprecating which is a rare quality in folks these days - funny and I am sure a great laugh at a party, although I would not want to mess with him even today , as "those SAS guys, they're real badasses..." (from First Blood re Green Berets...). Hard as nails back when he was at Credenhill... I bet.. .

Love hearing Phil's stories! The best interview I've watched. What a humble and lovely Man.

got to love big phil.

Phil's doing a great job with Force Radio. Some really interesting interviews. Phil deserves everything good that might come his way.

i met campion when i was attached to 3rd sas and he ate so much muesli he was called campion the wonder horse.

I worked closely with Phil - amazing guy. We loved the spelunking and water park training ahead of our spin up to the Maldives mission.

This dude is a badass and loved working with the Brits and him in a firefight making a proper tea. I worked contracting in Afghanistan and many of us would head to Pattaya Thailand on R & R which was crazy. I would have hate to see him get pissed off in a bar. Legend!

Big Phil is a great interview

Whenever you normally watch sf interviews its always very serious with much daring do, whenever I watch big Phil I'm peeing myself laughing, the man is a walking morale boost

Phil makes me proud to be British.

Awesome guy Phyll. Great meeting him too and attending 3 of his seminars.

Philosophy, monkey see, monkey do. Phil’s a absolute legend and top geezer. Shame he didn’t mention the pirate mission and the cold drinks fridge, he’s just got a true talent for telling stories in a way that just makes you laugh.

Great character. Makes everybody comfortable. Jack in his element talking to him.

Phil you are a legend .Thanks all three of you for this interview regards and respect 😊😊😊❤❤❤

We need men like Phil. Total respect

Brilliant episode lads. Top draw. Love big Phil, and what a great storyteller. Hooked from start to finish. Awesome channel lads, keep attacking

I've only read that book about it but it's obvious loads of stuff had been left out. I think we can all imagine what those animals were doing to the captives. You can't trust a book that won't even call the WSNs by their real name. But still, sounded like one hell of a mission. Kind regards.

Top Man is Big Phil 👌🏼The parachute story was class 😂😂😂

I can relate to some of what Phil says pre SF. I too was in Cop in NI combat medic and patrol photographer, 1989 Scots guards. Phils easy to listen to and no BS, tells it like it is, a man's man. 😊

What a great interview. Absolutely based. TY

Great episode. What a funny chap! Love this one❤

Phil is awesome!

I just downloaded the app! Thanks Phil, Respect bruv!

Thanks Phil what a great two hours of absolute truth, facts put out in with great humor.

Big Phil, the man! Love that cat. He lives it like most wish they could, wish they would. He and his Squaddie mate Frankie Oatway are 2 of the topper most of the popper most, (in Beatle speak, hip Fab gear), the latter I've heard stories by that would level you and they don't even disclose the real deal bang bang n such. Thank you for hosting Big Phil and if you were interested in Mr Oatway, I can talk to him for you, no promises ( out of respect to all of you) but, I don't want to steal Mr Campions thunder here, just putting it to you in case. It's total class to incorporate our cousin operators from across the drink like this and I thank you guys for doing so. God bless / 6 In - 6 Out.

I never understood why people gave a toss about these pretend interrogations. Phil sums it up perfectly. "You're not going to make me pregnant and you're not going to kill me". After all they had been through how could guys quit at this stage?

STILL one of the BEST mil/spy channels on KZread!

Great interview. Phil is the kind of guy you could have a great craic with down at the local pub.

Didn't know Phil was on the Stansted hostage operation. That's two operations I know off, that he has been on. With SAS legend Colin McClaughlan. The second being Operation Barras.

just love this!

Great man Phil is love listening to his stories ❤

Great pod cast ,so interesting

These SAS stories are great, the British personalities are entertaining.

Phil is a main character 😂

They give MBE,OBE to people that have been a credit to they're industry. Surely this guy and many of our military guys and girls deserve much more credit than a Gary Lineker.

Phill is one of the best SAS operators ever.

I'm sure he's gutted or regrets getting booted or i mean buying himself out,as he knew his actions whilst being in the SAS he was causing himself problems which they didn't like ,so leaving at that particular time when the SAS was just about to start or take their part on the war on terror. He mentions in another interview that he got out at the start of September 2001 and then a week or so later the twin towers get attacked. So something tells me, he regrets missing out on that chapter of the SAS spe ding years over there between Iraq and Afghanistan as im sure Phil would have been in the thick of it ,and would have done his job to the best of his ability as he was a top bloke ,and most of all a top soldier.

A top guy is Phil. No bullshit

August. Before September. Phil.

Uk legend

Watch all your and Phils podcasts. Glad force radio is going wellfor Phil, he deserves some success after being shafted by the media people. I always used to like his tv stuff. Oh and I always felt he spokenfor the common man when interviewed and didnt come across badly.

Would love to see Phil doing a military type documentary teaching Ukrainian soldiers advanced combat skills that would be awesome weapons skills ect be great to see him teaching these specialist soldier skills.Great that Phil escaped his juvenile days went on to the most elite regiment in the world.

I did 6 months in Belfast on an emergency tour and the hardest I ever worked was in Northern Ireland it was 16 hour work days 7 days a week with 2 weeks off

Phil Campion the very best of British

That’s fucking badass

Ep 264. Very appropriate

Big Phil! Legend is a word heavily over used however he truly is! His book Born Fearless is excellent and he's quite correct we've all been men who could be better but we grown mature and mellow. Long may he continue. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧
