Episode 73 and I’m joined by Rex. Rex joined the 42nd RQR in early 1981. By the end of 1981 he has joined the regular army as a combat engineer. After being posted to the school of engineering, he spent time in Townsville before he was involved in a horrible motorcycle accident on his way to work, leaving him to spend 12 months in various hospitals recovering. He was then medically discharged.

Following his discharge he pursued a career as an advocate working for fellow veterans. He is now the president of the Military Brotherhood Motorcycle Club on the Cooloola Coast. The MBMMC was formed in 2009 and there are over 30 sub branches Australia wide. The club is an ESO and Non for Profit. They have trained Advocates who can assist in wellbeing matters and compassion claims. They assist with veteran homelessness and work with other organisations like Open Arms, Legacy, RSL’s and Young Veterans.
