Episode 99 and I’m joined by Tooney. Tooney originally applied to join the RAAF as an Airfield Defence Guard, he instead enlisted into the Australian Army as a Rifleman in 2007. While at Kapooka, he trade-transferred into Air Dispatch, marching out with the Royal Australian Corps of Transport and posting to 176 Air Dispatch Squadron after training at Puckapunyal.
In 2008, an injury cut his Basic Parachute Course short — but it never slowed him down. Away from service life, he earned selection in the Australian Army Rugby Union and Australian Services Rugby Union teams, representing Australia through to 2012
Highlights include playing in NZ on ANZAC Day (Brumbies v Hurricanes curtain raiser), the PACMIL Cup, and facing the US Services team.
Postings at RAAF Richmond, Amberley, and Randwick — a career built on resilience and service.
