A fellow Lincolnshire lad. Nice one. All the best to you, Alex. Cheers Phil.

Phil’s the dad I never had💯

Another great guest and interview, you have a great approach to your interviews and guests, I love the way you respectfully ad the right level of humor to some dark situations, very unique.

Wow, thank you!

Thank you Phil and Alex for a very good but very moving interview. Regards and respect to you both and for your service best wishes😊❤😊❤

Total love and respect! Great interview, Phil!

Great podcast keep them coming. 👌

Proper top lad 🫡🇬🇧

Excellent interview boys , I was in training around same time as this lad in AFC Harrogate 2004 /5 , but I was RGJ , my god the frustration of when he was explaining about when he got hit with his sarge bypassing the small compound without clearing wound me up so much , had that situation a few times myself as a rifleman but I'll say no more think we would be better off with just rifleman and junior n.c.o.s half of the times on tour lol , wish this lad all the best for the rest of his life , also you two bounced off one another great in this Phil 👍💪

So true, same can be said for fresh out of Sandhurst platoon commanders…. tactically clueless some of them (some being the problem, inconsistent pot luck ). I learnt most of the useful stuff from half screws

Great interview Phil Alex seems like a good lad,keep ‘em coming pal 💪🏼💯🇬🇧

I was in the Vikings ,b coy. Then 2nd battalion good pod really enjoyed phil

Thank you for you service. It must of been absolutely horrendous & shocking to wake up in Birmingham I know im a Brumie

Hay phill really enjoyed this , sounds like a good bloke . This tour there was a book written about called attack state red , maybe look into getting some of the blokes on who were in this . I came after this tour and was in on herrick 11

Great interview. Phil’s a great bloke, really get’s the most out of his interviewees.

Another brilliant debrief Phil, with Alex. I spent 30 yrs with the RAF, mostly Chinook, 10 yrs contracting on defence projects and now 4 yrs with the MOD as a Chief Engineer, so still supporting the cause. Great to hear these stories that would otherwise be lost. Fascinating, keep it up. Good luck to Alex.

Lincolnshire lads always did make great unfanteers. I remember seeing and talking with the Old Contemptables' from WW1 as a kid. Grew fewer by the year.

Great episode what a lovely guy humble ❤

Would you be able to get Chris Ryan or Andy mcnab on big man both together would be very interesting that bravo two zero book is my favourite war book of all time and lone survivor getting Marcus luttrell on would be amazing Phil x

I served with Alex in 1GG. I had no idea he was injured in 2007 with the Royal Anglians. I stayed with battalion and was with 3coy. I am glad he is doing well.

My childhood friend served as butler at Buckingham Palace when Harry was a teen around 2001/2002 and he confirmed he was a proper lad then too, always partying.

Good to hear a podcast from a decent normal infantry soldier, who’s not a para or sas 🤣 seen blokes with injuries not recover mentally like he has so an amazing lad, nice to to hear story’s of kajaki as well, that’s where I did my tour and it’s not really talked about

Hey Phil was you ever an instructor on SAS selection? If you was can you do a video on your experience with potential new recruits on the course .

Bore off mate. We’ve all got are quirks. You sound like your a right chisler. Anything positive to say??

Why are the Grenadier Guards called gobblers?
