WORLD'S LONGEST KILL | THE DEBRIEF | British Army Sniper Craig Harrison

In this episode of The Debrief, former 22 SAS Trooper Big Phil Campion speaks to Craig Harrison.
Craig Harrison is a former Corporal Of Horse in the Household Cavalry, and during his career as a sniper, achieved the world's longest confirmed kill in Afghanistan in 2009. Holding this record for 8 years came with its own challenges, resulting in death threats, being personally hunted by the Taliban, and left Craig fearing for his family's safety in the UK.
Now the founder of the Maverick Survival School, Craig combines valuable survival skills and mental health support, with himself continuing to be on a rehabilitation journey for the severe PTSD caused by his service, and what happened after he made that record-breaking shot.

The best podcast I’ve heard in a long time definitely going to check out Craig’s charity Being an orphan I also thought a bit sad for Craig but so happy that he has a great family now . His charity is not like other who are greedy for networking Craig really does want to do it for the pure good it can do to others , Craig also has the best attitude to learning . You learn from others and you’re self this is the type off mindsets we need. And anyone who try’s to go into Craig’s personal space should deserve to be smashed in then taken on SAS who dares wins and try to survive 😂😂😂😂😂 , what a great man along with Phil it’s great to see them both smiling . All the best I also suffer from Cptsd obviously not from army It’s great to talk about it and yes fearing everyone will put you aside when you get mental health it’s hard I was put on meds because no one understood me and I realised I have to just be alone and sort it myself , definitely going to look that course up Great podcast !

[@inspectorclouseau3880]

I wish Craig all the best in the world, he fought for his country and been left with mental trauma. I really hope he finds peace, he deserves to be happy

[@kamelionify]

I Saw Mr Harrison in another youtube video where he was describing his PTS. You're absolutely correct, the way this country treats it's Veterans is nothing short of disgraceful. I hope he can repair his relationships with his family and wish him all the best in the world.

[@martinattwood7801]

I was in the blues and royals with Craig. We were in the same troop. We are both from cheltenham, and I still live there now . Hes a good guy and a real character. I wish him all the best .

[@P4sty]

Again thank you @martinattwood7801 for what you have done as well ❤

[@twobyfour]

I`d seen Craig interviewed before, but this is exceptional. Great to to see there is still a huge amount of humour and laughs bobbing around the pain. What a great bloke.

[@user-yr9hl2mk5h]

Took the words out of my mouth

[@Charlie_1992]

This country was built on men like these two. We should all aspire to be like you. I could listen to you both all day long. Respect 🇬🇧

[@TomMatin]

This is the first time I've seen Craig laugh and it's amazing to see. You can see how 2 forces lads really understand each other. Thank you for your service lads. 🙏

[@ForceRadioHQ]

Thanks for watching!

[@Anthonys_S]

This was the deepest best episode of just about any armed forces interview , this actually had me in tears . How in gods name can we do this to veterans or anyone for that matter. God help this man, I wish him nothing but the best

[@ForceRadioHQ]

Thanks for watching!

[@aleccrombie7923]

As a shooter myself, I was in shock at the distance he made these accurate shots. Only to find he was STANDING at the time. Words fail me! Could I get near to what he did,never. And not just the record but all the other stuff. Have a good life Craig,all the best!

[@danielsellers8538]

Philip Campion, thank you for helping the homeless veteran 😊

[@dustwadge]

Wowsers.. what and absolute pair... you know the US vets are all over this podcasting, it makes such a difference to hear these stories and to know you are not on your own.... this is what we need... Bosina vets, NI, Iraq etc .. the public needs to hear these achievements.. awesome Force Radio ..just Awesome..keep er lit !!! Aye Dusty

[@Professionalmoochers]

What a thoroughly decent bloke! A roll model to us all. If I was a wealthy man, I’d buy him that woodland. And if he wasn’t a 5 hour drive from home, I’d love to attend his bushcraft courses. Let’s hope he gets everything he deserves 🙏🏼 You’re not bad either Phil 😉

[@markrainford1219]

I thought the same whilst watching 'if I win the lottery, I'm buying that wood for him'.

[@Jonathan-mk1ju]

Beautiful to watch how Phil communicated with Craig, knowing where he is coming from.

[@adamcrawley9778]

Thoroughly enjoyed that conversation! Craig is a warrior and I wish him all the best with his new venture!

[@neila6474]

An incredible episode. Phil’s experience having been there and done it, helped Craig to share the horrendous experiences that he has been through.

[@peteward3833]

We really let our veterans down in this country. Great chat though, enjoyed it

[@SYFGTrading]

was a fantastic interview/chat 2 great men that should be supported by the country they protected!!!

[@Peter-or8oc]

I'm so glad he's starting to get to a place where he's starting to let it out I don't think you ever recover 100% from ptsd you just learn how to recognize the triggers and are able to talk before it builds up to breaking point I'm buzzing Craig's started his charity it'll make him have a sense of purpose helping people I really do hope that he can find some kind off peace eventually thank you for your service Craig

[@percymonster1]

I’ve watched god knows how many of these military podcasts/interviews and most have been very good but this one is on another level, utter quality

[@lesjohnson7183]

As an ex vet, it's good to hear vets talking, it helps, and their bravery now more so to talk, share and let people know what it's like and the impact on their life, family, friends... Brilliant interview, well done lads.

[@ForceRadioHQ]

Thanks for sharing!

[@charlespruett9066]

Two real men here! Both have suffered and still continue because of taking up others wellbeing as a mission for themselves. The epitome of men.

[@craiglatham]

Left out to struggle with all that shit going on with mental problems and real physical problems. The Army did the same thing with me. I stood outside the place where I moved into after a career and it broke my heart to think that I won't see myself as a soldier again

[@ryanmccarthy1215]

Hearing about your lovely wife bursting into tears and curling up when you shouted "boo" was absolutely heart breaking! I've read your book, you're an absolute inspiration

[@ForceRadioHQ]

Thanks so much for watching

[@fowler957]

Another interview I’ve listened to today in the background whilst working from home. And another breath of fresh air for an ex-mil listener; some home truths and similarities. Awesome, keep them coming.

[@andyg6967]

That was THE BEST podcast I’ve ever seen and I mean ever.I read Craig’s book a few years back and that was amazing but I loved this,Craig Harrison and Phil Campion what an absolute dream team.

[@ForceRadioHQ]

Thank you so much for the support!

[@Ben-tq6wr]

I’ve followed Craig and his story for a long time, since his first interviews started popping up. Each time I see a new one, I am even more astonished at this man’s character and resilience. He’s a true warrior. The type of guy any man would love to have as a mate. The way he’s been treated by so many people in his life he should’ve been able to trust, and the military/government, is an absolute disgrace. I wish Craig the absolute best. Truly inspiring individual with a heart of gold. Top, top fella, and I don’t think he realises it.

[@colrobertson]

Wow. Got the old tingles too watching this. Another great interview and guest. Served 30yrs in UK military myself, mostly Puma and Chinook as your taxi to exotic locations Phil. Good luck to Craig. After 14 years, my night terrors seem to be subsiding. I used to keep jumping out of bed thinking something had to be done. Dunno what the something was. Done Bosnia and Middle East stuff. Think we all must be going through something. Its surprising how much influence your mother has. My mum always said eat your sandwich over the sink. I'm 62 now and eat my sandwich over the sink.

[@ForceRadioHQ]

Thank you for sharing!

[@YogiMoto108]

Great podcast Phil! The interaction between yourself and Craig thoroughly engaging from start to end. You’ve gained another subscriber (Veteran, British Army) I look forward to more excellent content.

[@kennethbrown4480]

I feel your pain mate, I was based out in NOWZAD about 6 hours north of Camp Bastion, I worked for Estonian's and US Marines. The Estonian Company had just changed over whilst I was mid tour and I was an Alpha MFC and the Estonian OC wanted to post me into an OP because the Taliban were getting up to our FOB on a night and planting IED's everywhere. So we left the FOB to a location I'd previously identified and we had only been out about 20 mins and had to go through a high sided alleyway. As the lead Estonian went to go round the corner he stepped on an IED and lost his left leg, the Estonians were running round screaming and trying to help this young lad, I was shouting at them to check for secondary devices but they just stopped speaking English and walked all over the area to my front. Once he had been evacuated there were 2 more young lads in front of me, I told them to clear a path back to me and I would clear back to the road, however the rear man spotted the lads kit who had been blown up and walked to it, the next thing I remember was being blasted backwards, when I regained myself I got up to find he had lost his right leg. Until that patrol I felt like I was untouchable, like superman but when we got them both sorted and returned to the FOB, I just broke down in tears, I blamed myself for not getting a grip of them all and also for planning the route to the OP and it haunted me for years and took 4 lots of treatment from the headshrinkers before I slowly got my life back together.

[@user-xv1gn7yk3t]

Every day is a bonus, small steps, forgive yourself.

[@paulburnett1344]

A man that gave it all and got treated like shit by the system. Shame on them.

[@connerflagg9186]

What an absolute amazing man, I only wish one day I could contribute to helping others like Craig has & continues to do so
