On today's Zero Limits Podcast I chat with Wayne Weeks Special Air Service Regiment operator retiring after reaching the position of RSM SASR.

Wayne joined the military on the 6th April 1988, after completing year 12 and served a total of 33 years.  Wayne started out his career in the Corps of Signals for the first couple of years and during his time at Signals, He heard about the SAS and what you had to do to get there, as well as the roles and tasks they performed. Wayne attempted and passed selection in 1992, after which he completed a series of specialist courses that were required to become a qualified operator.

Wayne spent a couple of years in the UK (Special Boat Service) and deployed with them and SASR with 15 overseas deployments with SASR. From Kuwait, Timor, Iraq, Afghan and Belize through to Balkans, Solomon Islands, Cambodia and Bougainville, he managed peacekeeping efforts and stabilisation operations across multiple task missions.

Wayne with other SASR operators are working towards making the tell all documentary Bravery & Betrayal.

A truth telling documentary

It has been over a decade since the last SASR combat operation in Afghanistan, and over two years since the disastrous coalition retreat from Kabul. This lost war in Afghanistan has become the SAS’s Vietnam. SAS soldiers, some with as much combat experience as their Anzac forebears from World War I and II, now find themselves fighting on a new battlefield – a war for their legacies. Maligned, scapegoated, and callously discarded by their own leadership, the men of the SASR have suffered in silence until now. With your help, a small group of highly respected SASR veterans will embark on a mission of national importance.

The aim: to produce a documentary that lays bare the human dimension of this war and its impact on those who did the heaviest lifting.
