Pathfinders was so elite they got an extra sausage for breakfast in the cookhouse at Monty lines.

Every time I watch one of these I get so much out of it, this was great, Tom came across as such a positive bloke and great sense of humour.

I'm 50 this year. So many regrets. The forces could have given me an amazing life I'm sure.

Good to see Tom on here. Enjoyed the banter.

Bravest of the brave the pathfinder’s, a friend I grew up with through school with, and drank with plenty when he came home on leave early in his service, when he spoke about the para and pathfinder’s you knew he was going to be a career solider, sadly he passed away on duty, I’m not going to name him on KZread, but he made warrant officers, and I’m proud to have grown up with the man and have known him. People worry about this younger generation and joining the forces, yes they have a easier up bringing compared to us born in the 70’s and 80’s but we have always produced great soldiers, and the woke world won’t stop this generation coming through

Thank you for sharing

one of the best you tube interviews yet. Both great to listen to. Tom needs to get Phil on his courses teaching cooking skills with beans. Phil did one it was funny. The not shouting is spot on. SAS are you tough enough is tv bullshit for the massess. Few good bits. Most not relevant at all to the real UKSF world. I was in cadets from 1979. Won cadet of the year Yorkshire in 1980 just after Iranian embassy. Parents stopped me joining juniors! I eventually after serving with 4 Para. Went onto UKSF( R). Passed selection 1988. Served 14 years with them, best thing ever. Learning Learning and more learning. Plus operational stuff. I think when the uk gov starts having to conscript these soft millenials. Tom will have a good oportunity to get involved. All kids should be in the mil cadets. Does not matter what service. Does you no harm and sets you up for life. realy enjoyed. this thanks both of you.

I’m sure I remember from your book Phil that Tom squared you away a caravan from South Cerney after you got out of the nick. Could be wrong but had it in my head it was Tom Blakey for some reason.

Something great about these chats with all of these people that have served is not only are you always picking at the negatives of coming out of military every 1 of them have something that have in place to either help or give back. It's great too see keep up the great content. Normally people in your place would only want to showcase the positives which there are alot

I’ve been binge watching your uploads since I saw you on The Team House. You’re a fantastic host and you’ve had some incredible people on, and I’ve enjoyed listening to every last one of them. You provide great commentary, yet know when sit back and give these folks all the space they need to tell their stories. As a Yank civie who practices recce with a great and motivated group of guys, both former military and civilians, I was thoroughly engrossed with Tom. A recon soldier is a more “wild” breed of warrior, a man who welcomes isolation and calls the deepest, darkest and thickest of forests (and all of the dangers that come with it, both flora and fauna) his home. It’s not just a selection, it’s a calling. If you’re interested in having another American onboard at some point in the future, might I suggest a Ranger? They truly are fantastic warriors, with a lineage of excellence dating back to the latter half of 17th Century New England (more specifically, New Hampshire and Massachusetts), a century before the War of Independence. Mike Edwards, a Ranger vet and member of the RRC (Regimental Reconnaissance Company; a Tier 1 element within the Ranger Regiment and the U.S.’s parallel of the Pathfinder Regiment) would do very nicely! The man has some stories.

To add. Not being in loads of contacts etc. Tom was honest and spot on. Doing your job behind the lines . You dont fire a shot unless you have got it wrong big time and been compromised. No shame in that. Professional soldiers in a covert role. therefore Good soldier.

Class as always lads

That was a great debrief Phill. Tom is a complete live wire ( and a fucking nutter lol anyone who voluntarily jumps out of a working aircraft is just as mad!) I'm going to look at Tom's KZread channel as it sounds interesting. Even as a 70 yo partially disabled man ( not a veteran though) I love to watch other people's skills in many different guises. Looking forward to seeing the airborne drop over Carentan come June 6 th (Presumably it will be on the 6 th? )
