World’s Deadliest Sniper: Anthony ‘Staz’ Stazicker

[@taiwannumberone888]

These podcasts are absolute quality. Dodge gives everyone a great space to have a chat. Nothing confrontational, just great stories and some banter. ❤

[@DodgeWoodall]

Thanks 🙏

[@herb2078]

What always amazes me with these gentleman in the SF is how articulate, calm and educated they come across but always with a sense of humour. They really are the thinking soldier, very inspirational as a outsider of this world.

[@paulwilliams2663]

My bro in law was 22, and at wedding to my sister, there was several of his mates from Hereford. They were, as you say, calm, in control, disciplined types. My bro in law is same, hot heads (these idiots who want to fight the world) don't make good SF. They're not looking for that, people in control, capable of ultra violence when absolutely necessary.

@herb2078, very well said mate, you got the point of 'us' SF's across expertly!

[@LJC-d8k]

Honestly they are a different breed. Always so down to earth and humble. Staz is so so funny and I’ve been on holiday with an ex SAS chap 10 years ago. You wouldn’t even know they’re UKSF if someone hadn’t told you!

[@WatchingtheWorldBurning]

I was priveliged to take 5 SBS guys on an RYA Day Skipper course (as pert of their annual experience/fun weeks). Imagine trying to teach SBS guys dinghy handling😅😅😅 Such a genuine, funny, straightforward bunch of guys.

Just like you said, he earned my respect, although he serves another country. I'm going to have start watching a lot more episodes from this podcast!

[@adypat1578]

Staz is a testament to our military. Particularly our elite special forces. Nothing compares to the British special forces anywhere in the world. The most enthralling podcast on your list Dodge and they are all excellent. “Just doing my job” he says. So humble. Even after experiencing the most dangerous missions of deployment and coming out the other side with the highest of medals available, you would walk past this guy in the street and not even realise. Keep up the good work Dodge

[@paulhart2705]

The stories are mad and he knows how to tell em. We definitely make the best of em

[@Chef-1707]

Dodge, you have one of the best interview techniques on you tube by a country mile. Sensible,probing questions, but letting your guests tell their stories. I,m a big fan of your channel and working my way through all your fascinating podcasts with great range of interesting guests. Keep them coming

[@DodgeWoodall]

Kind words mate and glad you are enjoying the channel. Good man :-)

[@BootneckAlphaKilo]

Staz was up at Fleet Protection Group RM while I was a Marine there too. genuine good guy. I remember his repack box (basically a coffin sized cardboard box with which you ship all your kit between postings and billets) it had his name and P0 number, and below one of the lads had written ‘STAZ’S STEROIDS’ typical Corps humour.

[@bennathan7353]

Haha, i was there then too, and in his recuit troop, he turned up to training an absolute beast. Lost most of the weight by week 10 but always the fittest in the troop by a mile

The most hilarious description of Selection I’ve witnessed. All of our SF are so well trained, and I think they are all excellent. Staz is one of the most interesting and entertaining ones I have watched and listened to. A real character. And clearly very intelligent and skilled. Glad it was available on KZbin. His descriptions of events are fascinating, and the descriptions of people, very funny. I rarely laugh out loud at something like this. But Dodge did, and I joined him! it was truly excellent. And mind blowing to hear such a first hand account of life within 3 Commando Brigade and the SBS. I think my favourite phrase was “a human highlighter”. 😂 Respect to you both. Thank you for the podcasts.

[@davos4268]

This guy had the fitness of an international footballer and if he was a sweeper, I imagine a natural engine. He was then best recruit in the Marines. With that background he still described full SAS selection as brutal. Puts it in perspective!

[@stephenalex4345]

Did you do commando training with Staz?

[@blakeforrest6382]

i feel like sas selection would make marine training look like a walk in the park...

[@tranz_former]

A likeable character. What a dude!

[@JoBlakeLisbon]

This guy is around my age. I was a trainee professional footballer too. After getting released from my contract I considered the Marines, with an outside view of a future in SF. In the end, I sat A-levels, got good grades and went to Oxford University. I had EXACTLY the same perspective as him that drove me. My mission in football failed but I desperately wanted to do something elite. I remember actually playing the army for the University football team once. Very good lads.

I suppose you see it as a missed opportunity then.
