Chapter XXXI: The shadow of the rising sun.

When we see an Australian service member, many of us will say “Thank you for your service”. We dedicate an entire day of our calendar to this exact sentiment. What does that service actually look like? Brian sits down with Shan and shares what it's like to be a teenage boy who is given a uniform, a group of mates, and a gun. He shares what it's like to give your life to service only to find that when your personal life is falling apart and you’re not the poster boy for a good soldier, an entire institution will turn their backs on you and hang you out to dry.  https://linktr.ee/thetraumatales    Lifeline: 13 11 14  1800 RESPECT: 1800 737 732  Men's Helpline: 1300 789 987    Qlife: 1800 184 527
