The gulf in honesty between one of Britain's warriors and politicians is breathtaking..

Lucky dude! 👌 🍻

[@seamus9750]

Your initial experiences on joining the military are so similar to my own...excellent narrative.

[@stubones]

Awesome that Ant is reading it himself.

[@kdlofty]

Very inspiring, true to life. It's amazing what you can achieve if you just take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Brilliant. Can't wait for the next installment.

[@robertsayers6864]

Brilliant book this....must read

I was unsure if to purchase the audiobook. After listening and digesting this I have 👍👍

This is what we need. More sas members should take advantage of the respect us civilians have for them and use that to gain fame.

[@scrungedigger8625]

I mean after actually listening to it I kind of sound like a fool. SBS, sas, royal marines. It doesn't matter, we should have the upmost respect for these men. They should be treated better than celebrities.

[@joshbond496]

I’d say any armed forces roles, especially the ones you mentioned and other frontline roles, these brave men and women really put it all on the line so we can live a cushy life with Maccys and video games

Scrunge Digger they work for the rich, all armed forces work for the elite, the rich.. Great to see armed forces personnel having a good life and earning cash, especially after being brainwashed into joining the rich families security force.. Good on him..

I've not heard of this writer before, is the voice reading the words the person that wrote them? He (the reader) sounds so young.

The voice is ant Middleton himself

[@mattgosling2657]

Was Ant in the paras and the royal marines before he went into special forces SBS? I thought I'd heard him talk about being a marine in the past, I also didn't know he started off in the engineers. How long did he stay in the SBS? Think he's also been to prison for nacking a cop when he was pissed up.

Are there pictures?

Ant Middleton who wasn't in the SAS himself but is happy to front a TV programme giving the impression that it is some sort of SAS selection course...

Didn't he walk on good terms? I know he ended up in the slammer for drunkenly punching a copper, but I'm sure that was after he'd left the services? Either way, he's a bloody legend and an asset to any team. 🤝

I listened to the whole book on Audible and man does he shit on 9 Para. I guess most of the Para's are like the way he describes. he didn't have a good time with them at all.
