Episode 34 - Christian Lillington

This episode is really a conversation between two friends who happen to be retired Army officers. I first met Christian Lillington at the Royal Military College of Canada in 1994. Our relationship started with a slightly ill intentioned wrestling match at a hockey game, but has improved significantly since then. Christian served as an armoured officer and deployed to Africa and two times to Afghanistan. He concluded his career as the commanding officer and base commander of the Army Training Centre in Meaford, Ontario. Christian has been open about living with complex PTSD which he chronicles in his amazing memoire, Parade State Zero. We cover lots of ground in this discussion from mental health and addictions, veterans affairs, the military family, and transition. This is the perfect conversation to highlight many of the challenges our veterans and their families face on a daily basis.Thanks again for listening to the NSP.NSP on LinkedInNSP on FacebookNSP on InstagramNSP Podcast Music Credit (episodes 19 - onwards): PaulYudin, Upbeat Uplifting CorporateNSP Podcast Music Credit (episodes 1 - 18): RomanSenykMusic, Action TrailerNSP Podcast Logo - L.
