He now has a book out about his unimaginable life experiences called “Serviceman J”
In this episode we talk about his early years and his initial decision to join the army.
What’s involved with becoming a member of the SAS.
His deployments to Afghanistan and encounters with Taliban suicide bombers.
Fighting alongside Wilie Apiata,
Being awarded the NZ Gallantry star.
How he found himself again after leaving the military and adjusted back to civilian life and much more.
I found this conversation super inspiring-Jamie Pennell and seen and done some terrifying things and has had to do a lot of self-work to make sure his transition back to a regular civilian has been a success.
This episode is an edge-of-your-seat and deeply human look into the life of a dedicated serviceman. Jamie was so generous with his time and experiences, which involve revisiting some pretty grim situations, so I hope you guys like it.
