5 With A Digger. Brent Wright.

Episode 67 and I'm joined by Brent. Enlisting in the Australian Army in 1987 at the age of 17, he went to Kapooka, completing an extended 18-week recruit training due to an injury. Following this, he spent time at the School of Signals, Norforce in Darwin and 103 Signal Squadron in Townsville. In 1994, he was deployed as part of the South Pacific Peacekeeping Force (SPPKF) to Bougainville PNG. Unfortunately, he was medically discharged at the end of 1998, marking over a decade of committed service. Since his discharge he has struggled with alcohol and hopes his story can help others.
