We all have a past that comes up every so often, and mine was 20 years of service in the Royal Australian Navy.
Yesterday, I was interviewed by my niece Ashley for a history project about war in the 20th century. She approached me due to my service in 1990 at the start of the conflict in the Persian Gulf.

It is quite a good interview, and at the very end I try and make a point about the reason for the conflict, besides the obvious liberation of Kuwait. I could have gone a bit deeper, but I didn’t want to spoil her project!
Also, I do not glorify or promote war nor conflict. It serves no purpose, so I just tell it how it was like at the time during this part of my life.
Anyway, enjoy the podcast.
I certainly have had a full life so far!

Yes it was sad when you were not there to see me leave, however that is a lot of water under the bridge old man. Glad you are still around to enjoy life with me now!
