Join the H-Hour community at https://patreon.com/hkpodcasts ***** For H-Hour #285, I welcome Pasha Munro, ex Royal Marine and Special Forces operator, for a wide-ranging conversation on military culture, transition, social class divides, and navigating civilian life after elite service. We discuss Marines vs Paras social backgrounds — I pose my theory that Marines generally come from middle-class stock and whether that drives smoother post-service careers — and Pasha’s deliberate two-year transition plan using LinkedIn to build a civilian network before leaving. He explains balancing a high-profile social media presence with security work (“I can’t have clients hearing someone shout ‘I saw you on YouTube’ on Kensington High Street”), the infamous Marines “99.9% need not apply” ad that never matched reality, and why leaving wasn’t difficult when he knew his luck was up. We cover the Lad Bible Red vs Blue game show we did together, cross-service cultures, and why all cap badges share the same pamphlets — it’s just how you interpret them. https://champions-speakers.co.uk/speaker-agent/pasha-munro https://www.instagram.com/munro6141/
