Don’t sleep for36 hrs. Wet. Cold. Carrying injuries. Rashes. Blisters. Min food. And move Tactically. Then let’s talk. This guy has been through it all. And so he might have some demons which require self medication. He’s seen And done things that would make gyn bunnies wee their panties. Throbbers

    He sounds like a soldier's, soldier. You could take any soldier from Greece, the Romans, the Vikings, a man at arms on a medieval campaign and this is the person you would get. Really good. I fought pirates off a yacht in Papua New Guinea. We didn't have guns either. My dad, in his mid seventies was battering people with a length of wood and I was trying to bundle people over the side, shouting a lot helps. Getting the anchor up and running away helps even more. Happy days, in hindsight.

One time, he turned up after K.O, straight from the pub. Within 2 mins he dropped his guts & cleared out a couple of rows in the Northam End 😄 Stewards thought there was some trouble, ran up but soon got wind of the cause 🤣

    What a bloke! Many of my friends were in a children’s home,and not many of them are here anymore, due to the unfortunate paths they took. I’m guessing his YTS days must have been in the mid ‘80’s, for £26.25 a week,as I was on it too. So glad he joined the forces and pulled himself out of the hole he was heading for. He seems like a living legend like Billy Bingham, who came to our town and gave a talk about his life so far. Perhaps he should do a tour like Billy and talk about his days. I would go to hear him. He sounds a great character with some dark and light stories. All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧

    I used to walk past a children's home whilst on my way to the sea cadets, I always felt privileged to walk along in my uniform and was very grateful for my upbringing I went on to join the TA 5RRF then eventually joined the RM's being surrounded in a good way🤣 by people like Phil had a long lasting impression.

    No he isn't, he's a fuckin turncoat. Went against everything most SF soldiers believe in just to get a career in media. I wouldn't give him 2 minutes.
