COMMANDO CONTENT CREATOR | Former Royal Marines Commando Ryan Forrest

The Debrief with Big Phil Campion

Sunderland born and bred, Ryan faced adversity, violence & grief in his younger years, but had always had the military on his mind. Visiting the careers office aged 15, Ryan had his application submitted as soon as he was able to, desperate to get his Royal Marines Commando 'Green Lid'. Everything he ran from back home, caught up with him during training, and he withdrew himself from the course, ending up working on building sites and getting caught up in the drinking lifestyle. Eventually meeting his now wife, and after one too many run-ins with the law, Ryan rejoined the Royal Marines, and deployed on exercises and tours around the world, before transferring to Police Troop and investigating crimes for the military around the globe. A brief stint on the Close Protection Circuit before the COVID-19 shutdown, and finding out he was soon to be a father, Ryan turned his efforts to YouTube where he has gone on to achieve impressive success. Ryan is a popular content creator, and now a father to 2 daughters, which he credits as his finest achievements.
