I've probably mentioned it before but I went on a training day run by some ex SAS/SBS. We met in a car park in Wales. As I drove in there was a group of people, some in army gear. But it was instantly clear who the ex SAS guy was. Wasn't huge, tall, thin athletic build, but something in the way he stood and looked he just looked proper fking hard, but in a low key way. Was a really nice chap.
I guess it can be similar to many successful or ‘loaded’ folk?

Those that have (or know/feel they have) nothing to prove behave as you would expect….

Those others try a bit too hard?
To quote from an old instructor, it is always better in life to be a has been than a wannabe……..

Not sure I can face it. Gave up on the last normal season because the new instructors were tts.

Might give it a try as can't find anything else.

That’s what I’m thinking.

Respect that they’re special forces and not something I could ever achieve but the US instructors just come across as gobstes.

Lead instructor is a wannabe Rambo and the cast are D/E listers. Think i'll be giving it a miss.

That's what I can't stand. Why are you so brash and in your face. We know you're the best of the best. Be more like Foxy and Billy. Quiet confidence.

Fatima Whitbread is the only one I recognise, Rudy has got lovely hair, I wonder if he's ever walked passed a mirror and not checked himself out.

Lots of reality TV celebs, influemcers and other non job types. I do enjoy it though, its my guilty pleasure. Fatima looks tough, I think she'll do well.

+1. There was a shot with Rudy in the backgroud and the wind kept blowing his locks in his face and he was doing the L'oreal head toss to get it out of his facebiggrin I'm sure he is angling for a Head 'n shoulders gig.

Wasn't keeping count but how many reality TV mugs? Celebrities my arse!

Not checked back through the whole thread, but for anyone who doesn't know - Rudy played himself in the excellent HBO series 'Generation Kill'.

Ref. Fatima....

I was thinking - there is often something different about elite level athletes. Then she starts performing, then the back story. Tough lady.

Respect from the DS too.

Did Billy take part in the milling?! His face looked battered towards the end of the episode after the recruits had been scrapping.

Noticed that too, looked like he had quite a big graze near his eye.

The female boxer's reaction was very surprising. Really wasn't expecting her to refuse to fight. If she was concerned about hurting someone she could have just controlled her punches.

From what I gather, milling is nothing to do with boxing so she should have been bked for trying to bob and weave like she did.

Exactly.

It's all about controlled aggression. Maximum effort, regardless of pain and consequences, until ordered to stop - then STOP. Then, maybe, start again.

Car analogy - F1 - 100% on the track, into the pits, back to 100% on the track.

There wasn’t much proper milling in this series, saw a lot of them Jab and then block etc.

Enjoying this series- love the change in scenery and actually like the new DS's. Think I'm just leased it moved from Scotland.

No doubt, Billy is the one that is hardest there.

He certainly looks like he had the hardest paper round.

Yeah I've got into it now, much better now Angry Keanu has toned it down. Think it was defo ready for a change of scenery.

Think Billy's only about 6-7 years older than Foxy and Rudy (both 50 apparently). According to info online, he had the longest SF career by far.
