WOW. Time flies so quickly. 23 years ago. First, I joined the Brigade of Gurkhas in the British Army. From there, being the first Gurkha ever to pass the selection for SBS, elite UKSF, in 200 years of Gurkhas serving the British military. On this Armed Forces Day, I reflect on a journey that has been nothing less than inspiring. My 16 years in the British military, and 10 years within the SBS/UKSF, taught me so much. It helped me build a very strong, fundamental base of who I am today. Remember: wherever you go, whatever you do, if your base is not strong, you will collapse. So, having that base established from the world’s number one special forces unit what more could I ask for? Since I joined the British military, the war kicked off. And pretty much my whole career in the British military was spent on war and conflict, until I left the forces in 2019. After serving 16 years, I decided to take a completely different path. Going even bigger, I took on this groundbreaking project that the world at that time had thought impossible. And of course, the journey continues. Today, I hold the most 8,000-metre summits i.e 56 of them: 28 without oxygen. Both the highest. And inspiring many along the way. I spent years in the darkest places of conflict. Today, I choose a different mission. To be a voice for peace. What the Gurkhas and the special forces have taught me is invaluable. The discipline. The mindset. That will of never giving up; Understanding the bigger picture and always being true to yourself. I saw firsthand the impact of a small elite group delivering maximum effect. Being able to learn everything from meticulous planning to strategic games. And most importantly, no excuses. Only delivery matters🤜🏽💥. I didn’t just learn that success is not a coincidence. I saw it. I lived it. I breathed it. The unrelenting pursuit of excellence. Strength through humility. Speed, aggression, and surprise. The quiet professional who lets actions speak. That code, success is never a coincidence, is built on integrity. Build everything around that. To all who serve, and have served, this day is for you. Happy Armed Forces Day 🇬🇧 #nimsdai #armedforcesday #uksf
