"iss soldier mai toh ...... Bohot zyada protin haiiiiiiiii" Bear Grylls 2024

[@louisbeerreviews8964]

He looks different now

[@LaHayeSaint]

A brilliant choice for an honorary Colonel. This gentleman is inspirational!

[@dynamo1796]

What makes Col. Grylls such a great choice - you can hear it in this video. He can connect with the young soldiers coming through by sharing his life and his adventures while also acknowledging that the world is very different now to the one he came up in. Back in his day, things weren't as immediate, as online, as unforgiving as they are today. Its a whole different ballgame for these young men and women but Col. Grylls can see that, he can see the potential in these young people and he wants them to succeed and to believe in their future and their country. We need more people like him. So many people his age are full of disdain for the youth of today - they don't understand them, they don't understand the world of technology they're surrounded by and they often feel resentment at the future changing so quickly, and so they fall back on what they remember and whats comfortable and then look for the gap between than and what they see (but do not understand) today. Col. Grylls isn't like that, and that's why he's such a natural leader and the men and women under him at the college will no doubt feel trust and respect from him and towards him.

His fall at 16,000 feet is one of the highest falls anybody has survived without an opened parachute. (1994-1997, served in the Territorial Army then parted ways with the SAS due to an accident doing free fall parachuting - his parachute didn't open, and he broke three vertebrae in the process) ...In 2004 was awarded the honorary rank of lieutenant commander in the Royal Naval Reserve.

Colonel Bear hit the nail right on the head with his comments and observations.

The training and self discipline stays with you throughout the restnof your life. I just wish I could have my time again. I'd encourage any young person to go fo

I at 19 was humbled by my Reservist Military Service. I egotistically expected it to be easy, and thought I would be the Top Recruit... Then reality set in ... and I finished in the middle to lower ratings. The forced march at the end was diabolically hard... As it should be...! I think most young people need to go through something similar to expose them to the realities of the World. I am thankful for my experience.

GOOD FOR HIM! There is a certain sadness when you've been medical'd out of the military... a sense of 'I had more to do' with that part of one's life. I'm glad that Grylls is being welcomed back into the fold. Let me also say to the graduating soldiers: Welcome to the Brotherhood. No matter where you go and what you do in your future life, there will always be a piece of you that is 'ARMY'. Enjoy the feeling and take pride in your work. A sincere and respectful tip of the Stetson from an old US Army cavalryman and 'cousin' from across the Pond.

As unfortunate as his forced separation is, his situation leading up to it is somewhat insane. A 16,000 foot fall with no functional parachute is a feat in itself to survive.
