Ep. 117 Simon Moloney British Army Household Cavalry Regiment Formation Reconnaissance Sniper - Conspicuous Gallantry Cross
18 Jun 2023
On today's Zero Limits Podcast I chat with Simon Moloney former British Army Household Cavalry Regiment Formation Reconnaissance Sniper.Moloney was serving with the Blues and Royals, part of the Household Cavalry, on his second tour of Afghanistan when he was nearly killed in July 2013 in Helmand province. He was part of a 12 man troop flown into a Taliban stronghold to seek out insurgents. The sniper and a machine gunner positioned themselves on the roof of a building to provide a watch and cover fire. But an enemy sharpshooter picked him out and shot him through the neck. The bullet entered the left side of his neck, missed his trachea and carotid main artery and exited through the right side but luckily a medic was on hand to help Simon. He is now a trustee of the Heads Up charity, an organisation that aims to provide mental health support for UK veterans and Servicemen. It’s safe to say Simon is truly inspirational and knows a thing or two about motivation. Listen in for more! Let's GO!Send us a text however note we cannot reply through these means.
