/ @shawnryanshow
Our next guest is Christian Craighead, a former British 22 Special Air Service (SAS) operator, also known as Obi Won Nairobi. Although Christian cannot legally elaborate on the specifics of the events that transpired within the hotel attack, he graciously shares insights into the day of the attack and the subsequent occurrences. We delve into Christian's early childhood experiences, where he faced bullying and was exposed to violence. Christian recounts an incident from his youth involving a game of Batman and Robin, during which he was stuffed into a potato sack and set on fire.
Furthermore, we explore the factors that led Christian to pursue a career in the British army and the journey that eventually positioned him at the forefront of specialized operations. We delve into his time in the Pathfinders and discuss a notable close-quarters engagement where he eliminated five enemy combatants using a pistol.

Loves his country so much he wants to become a Us citizen. I always find it funny when people some celebrities or public figures say how much they love their country blah blah blah, but they live full time in another. If someone truly loved their country, they would stay in it. It's OK not to love the country you were born and grew up in of course it is, it's OK to loose faith in your country due to the post or current government, but don't say someone loves their country so much when the person is fighting to get citzenship in another.

[@Dr.Ian-Plect]

Christian Craighead, Para - Pathfinder - *22 SAS* ------------- Here's a breakdown of UKSF (United Kingdom Special Forces; 22 SAS and SBS selection)... PHASE ONE 1. Aptitude; Navigation & Endurance (commonly referred to as Hills Phase) 4 weeks of DAILY mountain marches navigating by map from point to point against an unspecified time limit. Typical schedule as follows (remember, these marches are EVERY DAY)... Week 1 15-20 km 40lbs weight+weapon, water etc. Week 2 18-24 km 45lbs weight+weapon, water etc. Week 3 20-32 km 50lbs weight+weapon, water etc. Week 4, Test Week; consists of 5 marches over 7 days march 1, 2 & 3; 30 km 60lbs weight+weapon, water etc. march 4; 35 km 60lbs weight+weapon, water etc. THEN, 4 hours rest and start the final march; Long Drag; 65 km 70lbs weight+weapon, water etc. 20-24 hour time limit (weather dependent). --------------- PHASE TWO 2. Jungle warfare, tactics, navigation ALL LIVE FIRE TRAINING. 6 weeks. Those who have passed phase one have to then pass jungle training. Training takes place in Belize or Brunei, deep in jungles. Candidates learn the basics of surviving and patrolling in the harsh conditions. UKSF jungle patrols have to live for weeks behind enemy lines, in 4 man patrols, living on rations. This includes yet more days of marches point to point. Jungle training weeds out those who can't handle the discipline required to keep themselves and their kit in good condition whilst on long range patrols in difficult conditions. Again, there is a mental component being tested, not just a physical. Special Forces teams need men who can work under relentless pressure, in horrendous environments for weeks on end, without a lifeline back to home base. ---------------- PHASE THREE Continuation; Foreign and new weapons skills, CQB training and testing in the world-renowned SAS Killing House where live ammo is used. Advanced infantry and marksmanship skills etc. Escape & Evasion & Tactical Questioning/Resistance to Interrogation The small number of candidates who have made it through endurance and jungle training now enter the final phase of selection. The likelihood of a special operation going wrong behind enemy lines is quite high, given the risks involved. UKSF want soldiers who have the wherewithal and spirit required to escape and evade capture and resist interrogation. For the escape and evasion (E&E) portion of the course, the candidates are given brief instructions on appropriate techniques. This may include talks from former POWs or special forces soldiers who have been in E&E situations in the real world. Next, the candidates are let loose in the countryside, wearing World War 2 vintage coats with instructions to make their way to a series of waypoints without being captured by the hunter force of other soldiers. This portion lasts for 3-5 days after which, captured or not, all candidates report for TQ. Tactical Questioning (TQ) tests the prospective UKSF men's ability to resist interrogation. They are treated roughly by their interrogators, often made to stand in 'stress positions' for hours at a time, while disorientating white noise is blasted at them. When their turn for questioning comes, they must only answer with the so-called 'big 4' (name, rank, serial number and date of birth). All other questions must be answered with 'I'm sorry but I cannot answer that question.' Failure to do so results in failing the course. The questioners will use all sorts of tricks to try and get a reaction from the candidates. They may act friendly and try to get their subjects chatting; or they stand inches away from their subjects and scream unfavourable remarks about the sexual habits of their mothers. Female interrogators may laugh at the size of their subject's manhood. Of course, a real interrogation would be a lot more harsh and the subject would not know that they get to leave alive when it's all over. That said, days of interrogations and enduring the stress positions and white noise break down a man's sense of time and reality. UKSF are looking for men who can withstand such treatment long enough so that the effects of revealing any operational information they might have can be lessoned by HQ. ------------------------------------------------------------ This is 6 months in, successful candidates for the SAS are now badged and report to Hereford, the home of 22 SAS. The SBS candidates still have a further selection/continuation phase to complete before being badged and report Royal Marines Poole, the home of the SBS. Completion of this 6 month selection course is NOT the end. They then start SF training (which never ends) and for the 1st year in particular are on probation; they can be sent back to their original unit at any time.

Can’t wait for this episode. In a world where celebrities are idolised, Chris Craighead is a true role model who stepped up to help those in need at great risk to himself, the cap badge and country. From the UK he should be held in the highest esteem, but listening to some of his stories it sounds like he was unfairly hung out to dry. Hoping this episode allows him to tell his story given the book has been veto’d.

This happens to military folks across the Commonwealth, and the US. You step up and confront evil head on? Go above and beyond for a cause that doesn't serve the tangible benefits of some politician?

Consideration for a VC has to ne written up by a senior officer who took part in the action. In CC's case he was the sole operator so could not be written up for a VC.

Long story short, I was angry with myself. Then I met a retired member of the SAS who informed me that I should be proud, he told me they usually leave a note on whoever is working.

Looking forward to this one! Would be cool down the road to see a episode with both Christian Craighead and Kyle Morgan discussing their experiences as they found themselves in very similar, unique circumstances.

[@stefandawson7708]

Just when you think Shawn has impressed us with his interviews and cant' impress us any more - he does, I cannot wait to watch this.......

[@Nightwalker_RN]

Was planning on having an easy Friday night. Saw the preview and clicked so I can start looking forward to this episode. Watched the clip, started crying, remembered how humbling and inspiring this was, and went to the gym for a brutal workout.

[@SannyOne9]

One of my favorite podcasts. You have unreal guests and you allow them to just talk, its always incredibly compelling.

[@melvinrasmijn7778]

I was kinda hoping you get this guy in one day for an interview. Like you said it Shawn, a massive wave of courage is what this guy is bringing into this interview. Can't wait for another Master interview of the Shawn Ryan Show. You're the best. May God bless you and protect you and your famia.

Chris, the ordinary British people are overwhelmingly behind you and respect and admire what you did and have done. You are also a huge inspiration to young men, something which is needed so very much in this day and age. You were the righteous man doing the right thing at the right time.
