Great interview. I was a US Marine stationed at RAF St. Mawgan in Nequay in the late 80's. Got to train with the British Royal Marines in Lympstone a few times. Love those guys!! Great, hard and disciplined troops! This guy is a Motivator!!

Jack Carr is a magnificent interviewer because he knows when to keep quiet and allow the guest to speak.

Hell of an positive advert for military service, Deans pretty much been there done that & Bought the whole box of T Shirts.

Great discussion ( I can empathise with the shoddy medical care post injury, loosing doc's etc) and a fantastic insight into how, if you apply yourself, the military can open doors to an exciting and challenging life.

Fantastic interview. Such an great channel. Legends.

What a fantastic life story! Nice one Dean. I enjoyed listening to you. Loads of amazing experiences spoken of and some brilliant advice for a good life. Outstanding. James (UK)

When I was in training Dean visited the training reg, spoke about himself, his time in the military, his time after, so I know his story already. Did that stop me from watching all 2 Hours 38 minutes of this? Absolutely not. Regardless of your political stance, moral stance on certain topics, all irrelevant when a story as compelling as this is told by the person that lived it, even more compelling in front of your eyes. Great guy, awesome story, good to see it shared far and wide✊🏻

great interviews jack...keep em coming !!!

Great podcast, great interview and great guest. I didn’t know Christian Bale was doing interviews 🤣 Batman interviewing Aquaman

Amazing guy.

Just to add to what Dean says about his background, when I used to go out nightclubbing in my early days, I would occasionally stumble across my fat, drunken cousin, who would always be the drunkest person in the room. It wasn't unusual for me to find him passed out in the toilets, arguing with doormen, and just generally being a dickhead.. This would happen every now and again over a 3-4 year period, and eventually I was visiting my grandparents, and mentioned that I hadn't seen my cousin for a while, and my grandad said that he had joined the Royal Marines. Now I thought my grandad was joking, because the Royal Marines may not be special forces, but they are no joke, and the last time I had seen my cousin, which was maybe 2 years before, he was a fat slob sleeping in his own vomit on a pub floor. Fast forward another few years, and I'm visiting my grandparents again, and I noticed a photo of my noticeably not-fat cousin in uniform on the wall, with what appeared to be some African villagers, in a jungle setting. I asked my grandad what my cousin was up to, and my grandad replied that my cousin had joined special forces, and was now in the SBS and the photo was in Sierra Leone. I was gobsmacked by this, I always had the impression that British special forces were guys that grew up wanting it and were built for it, so to see my fat slob cousin being in such an elite unit was something I still can't get my head round decades later. Anyway, I could add more, but I guess my point is that these guys are superhuman, but they weren't born superhuman and they somehow found the desire and motivation to go above and beyond. I've only seen my cousin once in the flesh since those nightclubbing days, at our grandads funeral, and he was a bit of a dickhead on that occasion so I didn't get to ask him what motivated him to sort his life out, but I would love to know.

This guy is a SF weapon. That must be some list he's ticking off. I remember when the SBS came onboard our ship in the Falklands. I had never heard of the SBS up until then. The only reason I knew about the SAS, was because of the embassy siege. Goes to show how much interest I had as a teenage matelot.

Not suprised his medical notes were lost, prior to leaving the Royal Marines after 22 years I was advised by the unit Doc to photocopy my medical documents as in his words "they have a habit of getting lost" especially if you have an old injury that could result in a compensation claim. On a slightly different note my grandfather was career navy and WW2 submariner and he used to get pension stamps every month, he swore blind that the MOD poisoned the back of them in order to kill off the old timers!

deans a sound bloke

So are the SBS comparable to SEALs ? as in Naval Warfare Operators ? Whereas the SAS are then the UKs Green Berets ? ....except tied to the British Airforce ? I understand that not all countries have a cut-n-dry distinction between Army/Navy/Airforce similar to the States, but would the SAS be more like the US Marines ? With the Marines being a ground force that rely on the Navy to 'give them a ride' ? and the SAS being an 'ARMY' ground force that rely on the Air Service for a 'ride' to war ? but NOT under the Airforce flag, similar to how the Marines aren't under a Naval Flag ?
