HDG would like to take this opportunity to introduce our honoured Patrons.
Pasha Munro
Joined the Royal Marines at the age of 19 and underwent rigorous Commando training to become an elite amphibious fighter. The training consists of five stages, including physical training, weapon handling, combat training, and tactical navigation. After completing these milestones, he faced a final exercise and four Commando tests, including endurance courses, speed marches, assault courses, and long-distance marches. Despite facing difficulties and failing a key test during the training, Pasha persevered and passed on his second attempt. He received his coveted green beret and became a fully-fledged member of the Royal Marines.
Pasha’s upbringing and family experiences shaped his determination to succeed. He was grateful for the support of his wife and family. After joining his first unit, Pasha spent a year at the Royal Navy boxing team and became a champion in his weight class. However, his desire to become a Special Forces (SF) Operator led him to undertake the challenging training of Mountain Leaders (ML). MLs are regarded as the elite within the Royal Marines and specialize in long-range reconnaissance, arctic warfare, and mountain climbing. While not classified as Special Forces, their training is considered as rigorous as UKSF units.
Pasha excelled in ML work, quickly gaining additional skills and inspiring fellow Marines. He was promoted rapidly but remained determined to pursue SF selection. Despite two unsuccessful attempts, Pasha applied for selection a third time, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to achieving his goals. Special Forces The selection process for UK Special Forces (UKSF) such as SAS or SBS is extremely challenging, with a failure rate of less than 90%. It includes endurance training, basic SF skills, jungle training, and combat survival training. Successful candidates are assigned to a squadron and troop after joint selection. SBS candidates undergo additional water skills selection stages. UKSF is considered one of the world’s leading Tier 1 special forces.
Pasha successfully passed the selection process and became a highly qualified UKSF diver.
