Real British military & life stories with humour, heart, and history—SAS to PsyOps, Cold War Germany to Kosovo. Rugby, skiing, travel, and family woven through deployments from the 1970s–00s. Authentic veteran storytelling, no fluff—subscribe for true Army life.

In Book Three – Chapter Two, we mobilise for Kosovo with the British Army’s 15(UK) Psychological Operations (PsyOps) Group—from Chilwell’s kit mountains and medicals to a snow-laden Christmas in Sweden, then wheels-up to Pristina. Expect real military life: admin chaos, MATTS, CDT, APWT on the ranges, CFT yomps, and the black humour that keeps veterans sane. On the ground we build the PSE (Psychological Support Element), craft campaigns, and stand up radio/print—leaflets, messaging, and the first issues of the Serb Telegraph with help from sharp local interpreters. There’s liaison with Battle Groups, media ops at Mitrovica, coffees at Camp Bondsteel, calm efficiency with SweBat, and the daily graft of PsyOps: influence, reassurance, and truth told clearly.

If you love true military stories, British Army history, SAS to PsyOps transitions, Cold War Germany, Kosovo 1999/2000, and the human side of service—plus sport, rugby, skiing, travel, and family—this episode is for you. Authentic veteran voices, humour, grit, and heart.
