Bear Grylls: The Sting

[Navigator]

Grylls joined the Reserve SAS and served for a couple of years with them, but he failed Selection the first time and had to have a second try a few months later which he passed.
About half the book dealt with the Selection process,(mostly long hikes and route marches in the Brecon Beacons) which is just as brutal as the regular non-reserve Selection and it made me tired just reading it!
Grylls-


PS- interestingly, at least 3 ex-SAS men have killed themselves over the years after leaving the regiment which is a lesson to us all, namely that physical toughness is one thing, and having the right mindset to cope with lifes ups and downs is quite another.
