Ex-SBS Operator: "I've just been PNG'd. I don't even know why." H-Hour #289 Dean Stott MBE

from H-Hour · host Hugh Keir

Dean Stott MBE returns to H‑Hour for a long‑form sit‑rep on life after the Special Boat Service. We dig into evacuations in Israel and beyond, the “ground truth” versus the media monster, the reality of being PNG’d by MOD, and why outdated secrecy policies are still shaping the lives of ex‑SF operators. Dean talks surfing and fighting at 49, cycling 14,000 miles, celebrity routes for ex-SF, and how he thinks about risk, family and doing things “the European way” in an American healthcare system. If you haven’t heard the icebreaker, start there for the backstory – then come here for what happened next.Instagram: instagram.com/deanstottX: x.com/DeanStottSBSLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dean-stott-mbe-24725880Website: deanstott.comIf you want more conversations like this, where we dig into evacuations, PNG decisions and the reality of life after Tier 1 service, get behind H‑Hour on Patreon at patreon.com/hkpodcasts.
