    KAAVER GOD ALMIGHTY 🙏😊 Who is complete God? Iyov 36:5 - Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB) See, El is Kabir, and despiseth, not any; He is Kabir in ko’ach lev (strength of understanding). Translation: Supreme God is Kabir, but despises no one. He is Kabir, and firm in his purpose. In all Bible translations, the word Kabir has been translated as "Mighty" or "Great" whereas Kabir is the original name of Supreme God. Conclusion: This verse of the Bible proves that Kabir is Complete God. The one who worships God Kabir by taking initiation from the complete saint sent by him gets complete salvation. After attaining salvation that souls rest in peace in the eternal abode Satlok forever. The throne of God is in Satlok. God Kabir met Jesus and took his soul to Satlok. On their way, God Kabir made him see his ancestors David, Moses, Abraham, etc. in the Pitra Lokas. Then God took him to Satlok😊😊 PRESENT MESSENGER of ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is SAINT RAMPALJI MAHARAJ 🙏🙏

I'd be very interested to see a follow up regarding more in depth how he got on upon leaving the SBS and starting the distillery from scratch. Overall top notch content and I think the sound and lighting for the video was very professional. Looking forward to future content. All the best mate👍

    I did like how you got across the mental side of doing something. From my experience on a physical course the mental strength of someone is just as important if not more important then physical strength. I have seen fit strong guys not pass a course where I would say guys not as fit passing the course because they are mentally stronger, pushing themselves beyond what you would think is possible.

    There's a common theme on all this interviews as to why these lads ended up on selection, not the same for all but there is a trend. The commando brigade being completely miss used in Afghanistan,not being deployed in a commando raiding capacity in order to plug "on the ground" man power gaps. It seems as if the RM would have been deployed in the manner in which they were intended ( more focused, intel led raids on targets with slightly less value than what uksf would go for) then these highly motivated lads would have been happy with that.

    You do need authority unfortunately. Special Forces attract highly motivated individuals who want to do the job well. The green army has a lot of people who are good at what they do, they just need a little nudge in the right direction now and again. And a lot of idle fuckers who work well when supervised

    I’ve been suicidal since I was a kid, about 9 I think. I’m 26 now and even though I’ve relentlessly pursued healing and professional help yet I still haven’t managed to shake it off. Every day I’m forced to grab my mind by the throat and tell it to feel/do what I tell it, just so I can be productive and do what I need to for the day. It’s built some considerable mental strength and discipline over the years, I’ve learned to love the fight and challenge my body/mind with things it thinks it doesn’t want to do. I’d be quite keen to see how I’d cope in this marine training and how far I’d be able to push myself.
