Met an ex SAS guy when was into my scuba diving, wasn't very chatty about it despite the persistent questioning from a 16 year old.
Heard we had a few up at the dropzone the other week, doubt they would all of been bulls
ting as there are allot of forces / ex forces who do skydiving.
Somewhat more believable when they are expert scuba / skydivers rather than some weirdo down the pub.
Surely in most cases they have to have more than just the one screw lose to make up such a load of bks.

A work colleague of my dad (RAF Music Service)
was a Sargent with wings , at the time (mid 60's) he was one of the last sargent pilots still serving but tranfered to the music service .
Many who were not as observant as they thought would query his wearing of wings , if they had noted his medal ribbons they might of had second thoughts .
One of my prized possessions is a pair of his wings .

In contrast to the thread title, I knew an SAS lad until January. In fact having known him most of my life I only found out what he did for a living after his death at the ripe old age of 34 (Cancer got him). Somewhat ironic given his job and the danger he faced on a day to day basis.
I knew he was good at what he did in the forces, he'd been in 15 years or so. I never clicked how good though. Little things like The fact his Facebook profile never showed his face and his name had been altered to a foreign equivalent should have given the game away but I never clicked.
Anyway I digress.
His funeral was something else and it was an honour to visit Stirling lines and the officers mess, even more of an honour to have known the chap.
The point is he told very very few people what he was up to and certainly not some dhead down the pub or on the Internet.

My cousin and I have been on the run from army special forces for about 20 years
When we were 8 or so my cousin threw a stone at a passing army Land Rover, the passenger gave chase for about 15 seconds. Later that day I saw a helicopter in the area, I've been in hiding since. I expect when they do catch up with us they are going to employ us to lead a crack force of stealthy warriors

- disclaimer, they were probably just squaddies on the way back to bulford

Better safe than sorry; don't want a sniper to take you out at a mile away.When we were 8 or so my cousin threw a stone at a passing army Land Rover, the passenger gave chase for about 15 seconds.

I was in the SAS and so was my wife. I was third man on the balcony storming the Iranian embassy, and I once spent 30 days lying in a faeces-filled ditch in the 'Stan before taking out a Taliban warlord at 5000 metres with my Gieves & Hawkes 9mm rifle with Vivitar 10x50 scope. Got away by the skin of my teeth, 50 miles over the Hindu Kush with a 300lb pack in ten hours. Still do a bit of hush-hush work training Johnny Foreigner in special techniques, can't really talk about it. Boathouse is creosote not paint, BTW, trick question!.
Bullst.Gieves & Hawkes never manufactured a 9mm rifle. They used standard NARTO 7.4567895566.654567.7-4535 hollow beam chutney rounds.
This guy made the news here last year, gave a TV interview at the rememberence day ceremony. Crazy.

I worked with this guy, said he was in the sas reserves, i think they are part time. New Andy Mcnabs real names went to a wedding of one of the ones from Bravo two.
He didn't really talk about the time there, but told ever man and his dog he was in the SAS.he did seem believable as well as unbelievable, had a few photos from his time as well some celebrity bodyguard work.
