Ian Rawson - RAAF Veteran & Founder Of Australian Warfighter Coffee

In this episode, I have the privilege of interviewing Ian Rawson, who served for 19 years with the Royal Australian Air Force. Ian dedicated almost a decade of service as an Airfield Guard before transitioning to a role as a Ciscon for another 10 years. During our conversation, Ian shares insights from his time in the RAAF, discussing experiences from boot camp, the future of warfare including the use of drones and unmanned aircraft, the enduring importance of ground troops, and the circumstances leading to his discharge from the Australian Defence Force, along with the challenges he faced during this transition. We also delve into Ian's post-military endeavours, particularly his founding of Australian Warfighter Coffee. Despite his discharge, Ian's commitment to service remains unwavering, as he donates proceeds from Warfighter Coffee to various organisations that support first responders and military veterans. www.australianwarfighters.com.au
