JASON FOX FROM TV SHOW SAS WHO DARES WINS VISITS HMNB CLYDE Pictured: Jason Fix from TV Show SAS Who Dares Wins with a member of the SMERAS team MORE THAN 750 Military and civilian staff flocked to listen to Jason Fox on Wednesday, April 17, when he delivered the second in a series Human Performance Lectures in the HMS Neptune Supermess. TV personality Jason, who is best known for his role on the popular Channel 4 television series SAS: Who Dares Wins, is a former Royal Marine Commando. Jason or ‘Foxy’ as he often referred to, was a former Royal Marine, joining in 1992 when he was only 16. He transferred to the Special Boat Service in 2001, where he reached the rank of Sergeant. This was the first time Jason had delivered this talk and he captivated the audience as he described how he had joined the Royal Marines as a 16-year-old in the 1990s and all the way through his military career to finding himself standing in front of crowds. He focussed on his mental health and how he could have handled it better throughout his time as a marine and in the Special Forces. Jason delivered two talks at Faslane with over 450 people attending the first and over 300 coming along to the second. The main driver for these events is to enhance the health and wellbeing of personnel at HMNB Clyde. By organising high-performance talks, the initiative aims to provide valuable insights and inspiration, ultimately improving the lived experience of individuals within the base. The rationale is to invest in the holistic well-being of the workforce, fostering a positive and resilient environment.
