Episode 70 and I'm joined by Corey. Corey joined the Australian Army in 2006, midway through a boiler-making apprenticeship. He began his service with the 42nd Royal Queensland Regiment in North Queensland and by 2009 was given the opportunity to transfer to full-time service. After completing his trade, he was posted to the 8th/9th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (8/9 RAR) in Brisbane, where he served in Alpha company where he just missed out on Timor. In this time, he ended up helping out on a basic sniper course, which landed him in a platoon for prep for MTF 4, leading to a deployment to Afghanistan in 2012. After returning he transitioned out of full-time service and briefly went back to his trade. Following a 12-month break, he attempted to return but was formally discharged due to medical classification. He is now a fully licensed real estate agent in high-performance team based on the Sunshine Coast.
