Royal Marine SHOT TWICE By Amazon Pirates
Royal Marine SHOT TWICE By Amazon Pirates, features John Bathgate & Ian Roberts. Featured recently on international news, the two former Royal Marines were trying to navigate the Amazon on a charity adventure, when armed pirates tried to stand in their way.
Transcript from ‘Royal Marine SHOT TWICE’ podcast
Ian – He was kind of making motions for us to go off down the the smaller part of the river, so imagine a massive island right in front of us. He wanted us to go down the left-hand side which was out on the flow of the river. Bigger than the Thames, but it’s the smaller part of the river. We basically said no and he was beginning to piss us both off. He then stood up and pulled a pistol out and so before he could aim, I struck him with my paddle high up in the chest. I guess the best way we can kind of get out of that situation if there’s armed or just aggressive men. We’re both pretty big lads compared to most Peruvians.

The book was initially written by Alan Boyd who joined the Royal Marines in 1979 and he served with 45 Commando during the Falklands War. Alan too moved into the world of private security as a team leader. He was diagnosed with Leukaemia and passed away in 2013. His book was finished by Robbie and Scotty Greig of The Royal Highland Fusiliers.
Transcript from ‘The Royal Marines Baghdad Cookbook’ podcast
Robbie – It’s actually the brainchild of Al Boyd, who was a former senior NCO in the in the Royal Marines. We worked together in Iraq as contractors. There’s three of us, myself, Al and Scotty Greig. He had this idea for a cookbook with dits and stories about people that he’d come into contact with. From the core and working out in Iraq.
The next thing we knew, he’d written the first chapter and he’d written the first draft of this book. Then Alan, the selfish git, went and died on us, so unfortunately he didn’t get a chance to see it through. Alan passed away in 2013 with leukemia and so I picked up the batton.

Transcript from ‘Who Dares Wins’ podcast
Phil – Yes I was in the S.A.S. and yes I’ve been on television and yes I’ve also had some major problems in my life. It’s not all over and you don’t give up at the first hurdle. You don’t just go, ‘Oh I’ve had a few problems and boom it’s all over, the world’s ending’. It’s not that bad if you still have oxygen in your lungs and there’s still something you can do about it.

SHOT In Afghanistan | Special Boat Service | Toby Gutteridge | Bought The T-Shirt
Toby Gutteridge is a former member of the Special Boat Service. He is also one of the youngest ever recruits to pass their elite selection process. Shot through the neck whilst operating behind enemy lines in Afghanistan, he was unable to breathe for over 20 minutes. Doctors recommended his life-support machine be switched off. With a defiant spirit, Toby pulled through and rebuilt his life. After returning to formal education, Toby attained a first-class honours degree and now runs his own company called, ‘Bravery’. Toby’s book, ‘Never Will I Die’, is a passionate account of life triumphing over death.
Transcript from ‘Shot In Afghanistan’ podcast
Toby – On an operation a sniper got me in their crosshairs and luckily it just winged me. Basically it was a million dollar wound I suppose. One inch to the left and it probably would have taken my arm completely off. It was the Dragonov sniper rifle. If that had been one inch to the left, it would have hit the bone of my upper shoulder and probably would have taken my arm completely off. I would have had to have it amputated so yes, very lucky there. As it went straight clean through and I was back out on the ground soon afterwards.

23 SAS Continuation Training | Nick Grainge
Nick Grainge is a highly successful athlete and veteran of 23 Special Air Service. In this podcast, Nick explains a little about continuation training within the reserve special-forces. Nick’s company, Elite Outdoor Fitness, offers a comprehensive course for beginners to pro-atheletes. Their former UK Special Forces team nurtures positivity, motivation and momentum to help you achieve your fitness goals.
Transcript from ’23 SAS Continuation Training’ podcast
Nick – To know that you’re okay, you need to be working hard and go on that hill with weight. You don’t go out and just wear a pair of boots, you should be running five hundred meters in a pair of boots or walking around with them and then do one mile. Then doing two miles, four miles and then ten miles. After a while you just do it, don’t you? It’s not about just lobbing straight in there.
If you break your training down very specifically and then start to put it all together, you start taxing your body and there is a lot of research that’s been done recently. One of the guys that’s part of it, got a quite high acclaimed award. One of them’s got a Nobel prize as well. There’s three elements within our bodies and systems that normally are relatively dormant. A lot of research has proven that if you can stimulate these responses, this fight or flight or this defense mechanism, these elements fire off and they they suggest at the moment that it can contribute to maybe fourteen extra years of life.

Could YOU Pass SAS Selection? | Nick Grainge
Nick Grainge is a highly successful athlete and creator of ‘Elite Outdoor Fitness’. In this podcast, Nick gives us his experience of going through selection in order to join 23 Special Air Service. From the Brecons mountains, to the notorious interrogation phase, Nick endured all to attain the coveted sand beret of the world’s most elite special-forces.
Transcript from’ Could YOU Pass SAS Selection?’ podcast
Nick – I think the first step that people need to make is, just try and find out as much information as possible. There’s a lot of information out there nowadays. You mentioned on the last podcast, that this is an open book to a certain extent. Certainly with 23, there’s a lot of open source information out there and if you go to a recruiting office, you can kind of get a really good understanding of what kind of level of fitness you need to go through, to start that process. You can get quite good understanding.

23 SAS in Iraq | Nick Grainge | Bought The T-Shirt Podcast #223

23 SAS in Iraq | Nick Grainge
Nick is a highly successful athlete across a broad spectrum of physical and mental disciplines. He has won competitions internationally across a range of events. These include sprint triathlons, ultra mountain races and long expeditions across the world with the Special Forces. In this podcast, Nick tells us about his time as a 23 SAS operative whilst serving in the middle-east.
Transcript from ’23 SAS in Iraq’ podcast
Nick – When I joined HRC I had to do a separate selection. It was devised by a bit of a legend that was in 22. I won’t mention his name, if you don’t mind, but he was an inspirational character and helped me facilitate my move forward. In actual fact, he was the one that approached me on a number of times and said, ‘I want you to go for HRC’.
What we found was that everybody from 22 and 23, were very capable SF soldiers. When they went to 22, they all got stand-up fails at the end. They weren’t right for that unit and much later, the guy who devised HRC, had a look at that whole political kind of situation I believe. I’d left by that time in 2004 and said, look this isn’t good enough. These are these are lads that essentially I have trained, because I devised this unit called HRC.

Transcript from ‘Royal Marines Commandos Cockleshell Endeavour’
W – We were always clipped onto the boat at all times whenever we were on deck, so when we were changing over, we’d always make sure we we’re clipping on to the the safety line. We’d obviously be wearing a life jacket or we had little climbing up harnesses which we took the leg loops out, so we’re just using the belt.
