5,901
Published 2023-05-02
Despite his service & sacrifice to his country, it took only 30 minutes for him to get discharged & told to never return from the army.
In this video, he tells his story of how he went from wearing his mum's hand-me-downs as a kid with nothing, to becoming one of the world's best snipers holding the world record for the longest confirmed shot. Inbetween telling us a few funny stories from his book - The Longest Kill (link below) - he also talks to us about what it takes to become a sniper, how he manages his volatile mental health day to day & what he has in store for the future.

Quality interview mate, Craig’s story touches me in so many ways. Was in tears through most of this, thank you for the questions as well mate your energy made this interview even better

I’ve watched pretty much all of Craig’s podcast appearances and this is easily the the most I’ve seen him laugh and smile it just shows you how much of a funny bloke he is when the ptsd and what not isn’t as present as usual, loved this one 🙌🏻

Well done guys. A very true representation of this incredible man. I was fortunate enough to share time with Craig last weekend at The Maverick Survival School and hearing his accounts first hand was incredible. To know that his life was offered up so many times to the armed forces and they pushed him aside without care or support is disgraceful. What he has managed to achieve and continue to work towards is awe inspiring. I enjoyed every minute of your podcast and the interview approach. His open nature is truly visible here. Well done to you and your team.

The best interview I’ve ever seen that stopped me being a piss pot tonight. You talk of many hard to broach topics and I can fall in line with most. Used pot as a distraction from alcohol for many years after a relationship break up from my soulmate. Thought I had found another soul to be close to but got ditched weeks before I proposed. I’m 45 with a big family around me and feel I cannot talk to any of them- broken without reasonable repair. I’ve tried talking to my closest brother but it doesn’t seem to help/work. I see the drug/alcohol issue head on daily and have lived in a haze. Also grew up in hand me down or 2nd hand gear as a kid I’ve been to uni but being constantly told, you’re the first in a family heaps a lot of stress and pressure. I didn’t get a degree but took my dad’s trade and got qualified as a bricklayer. Construction is still a man’s world and I suffered from the abuse of being the only one who could add up at times. Plus the physical beastings to prove you are up to the job. So many things ring true in this interview I will be in touch with Craig for a few words Bravo Fellas and thank you ❤
