Who would you like to see next on the show? 🤔

[@brightoneouk688]

What about “Jocko willink “?

[@JohnnyCarterMusicOfficial]

ngl, that was fricking intense. None of us can even IMAGINE what a special ops officer has been through. Scary. These guys are just built different.

What a bloke

[@SteveO-666]

I see the sf people as real philosophers and listening to their mindset advice and taking action has really helped me grow. Really good interview always great listening to this legend. I loved how he handled Hancock that deserves a mention! 😄

[@leighbakeruk]

Could listen to JF all day . Another South West dude to be very proud of ! Great interview as always chaps

[@rds957]

Great show, Foxy is such an interesting and inspirational guy

[@andyturner7039]

The 10 second rule is very important. After the Air France 447 crash - we brought in a module called Startle and Surprise. The golden rule was to sit on your hands for 10 seconds…don’t rush into a motor response. Great episode again - and Foxy speaks very well on his experiences. His books are definitely worth a read/listen.

[@user-mk6xr6zm9q]

Great video but there is excessive advertising creeping in😢

[@RussellTurner]

People need to get paid, big boy.

Those advertisments help pay for the people you see sat in the chair

[@ollielewis9093]

Question here that hopefully someone can answer as I am conflicted. I am 21 at the moment and I am currently training in preparation to try and join the Royal Marines. I have the qualifications to go in as an Officer so that is what I have been looking at. I am however concerned that going in as commissioned will mean largely a managerial and administrative role for the majority of my career when, at heart I like to be in the thick of it, planning operations or not I prefer to be involved doing the dirty work. I want to make a career out of the military and will probably stay in for a long time. Not sure wether to go Enlisted or Commissioned. I would be very grateful if anyone here as advice regarding my situation. Cheers, Ollie

[@winston6752]

Hey mate, I had the qualifications to join as an officer but joined as a marine. I don't regret it. Thoroughly enjoyed my time as a grav and wouldn't change it. Your first job as an officer is going to be a troop commander at a unit (Lt to capt rank). You'll be planning everything about your troops life, exercises, annual reports, ops, the works. I've met some class officers in my time who knew how to balance things and have a good relationship with the lads but you have to have a level of separation from the lads to be able to lead effectively. It all depends what you want out of it. Either will set you in good stead for life and nobody but you can make the choice for you. Good luck mate

[@ollielewis9093]

@@winston6752 Thank you for the advice mate. Thank you for your service as well. How long were you in for?

[@rottenhoop5767]

Go officer if you can mate. If not, you can always get a Corps Commission further on down the road. I think things only become more administrative once you’re at the rank of Major and above. Hope this helps

[@brynroberts9880]

The question about bridging the gap between his daughters burth and his expriences is one of the dumbest, most crass things ive ever heard.

[@mexican6997]

I would class life saving Doctors as super human, the paramedics who save lives as super human, the nurses who care for all withour prejudice as superhuman, the staff in a hospice as super human--sorry but this guy is as far removed from super human as it gets.
