Podcasts about australian regular army

From the trenches of the Western Front to the ricefields and jungles of South-east Asia, Australian women have served and doctors and medical specialists from World War I until the present day. Not For Glory is a book that tells their stories of adventure, courage, sacrifice and determination as they fought to serve their country… and won. Co-author, Susan Neuhaus joins us to share some of those stories ahead of Anzac Day. And in the Musical Pilgrimage, we hear a small snippet from South Australia's 2022 Dawn Service, lest we forget.

In the play we get to meet a number of women who have served Australia, our allies, and humanity in various locations and situations in response to a deep calling to "do their part", do their service. The production by The Shift Theatre, was adapted from the book, Not For Glory, by South Australian army veteran and surgeon, Colonel Susan Neuhaus CSC (Retd) and Dr Sharon Mascall-Dare. I wrote back then that in light of this production and this book, I will certainly be recalling these women's stories as part of my emotional and historical journey every Anzac Day. And to prepare myself for this Anzac Day, and to share some extra insights with you, I have Susan Neuhaus with me now. This simplest link for finding Not For Glory is here: Australian Women At War bookshelf page. Susan, you spent 20 year5s in the military in both the Australian Regular Army and the Army Reserve as a clinician and a commander. You served in Cambodia, Bougainville and Afghanistan, and in 2009, you were awarded the Conspicuous Service Cross, followed in 2020 by being admitted as a Member of the Order of Australia for services to medicine. What compelled you to serve Australia in what is referred to as conflict medicine? How does medical work in the field differ from back in normal practice? In small business mentoring, I have found that often I end up playing the role of confidant and counsellor. Surely that must happen in the field to a much greater degree. Can you share an example? Are there any disciplines or procedures you learn in the military that make civilian life better (or worse)? I want to reflect on your awards because it connects directly to the title of your book, Not For Glory. When you and so many other service people join the military to "answer a call", how does one hold the notion of medals and awards, when that was not a part of one's motivation? What is so important about these women's stories, that has propelled you to go on the gruelling pathway of crafting a book? What impact would you like this book to have on readers and on the military itself? Can we look at some stories? Through what lens do you reflect on the current situation in Ukraine? 00:48:27 Musical Pilgrimage The most fitting music for this episode has been drawn from the 2022 Dawn Service at the South Australian War Memorial.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today my guest is Matthew Phillips, a Media Producer. Matthew shares memories of growing up along the coast of tropical North Queensland and his early enthusiasm for cameras, photography, boats, and sailing. Matthew reflects on his diverse range of professional experiences and roles working as an apprentice Sailmaker, a Soldier in the Australian Regular Army posted on peace-keeping exercises in Namibia, north-west Africa, as a police officer, and more recently as a media producer and film-maker. Matthew outlines his most recent role as Producer of “The Wild One”, a micro-budget short film currently in final post-production, set on the North Queensland coast in the mid-1800s. The film tells the story of British shipwrecked sailor James Morrill rescued by the Indigenous Birri Gubba people, with whom he lived for 17 years before reconnecting with European culture. Matthew outlines some of the practicalities of producing a short film, with insights into to protocols and on-the-ground interactions with local Indigenous people relating to actors, approvals, locations, and crew, as well as content, language and translations to ensure story accuracy and authenticity. Matthew emphasises the importance of engaging with the broader understanding of historical events, such as actively exploring Indigenous perspectives and points of view when expressing history on the screen. Matthew offers further insights into the importance of trust, connection to the land and to people, and the creative and practical dynamics between a Director and Producer.

Warrant Officer Kevin Arthur "Dasher" Wheatley VC enlisted in the Australian Regular Army in 1956. He served in Malaya with various units until 1965 when he was posted to the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam (AATTV). Dasher is one of the most extraordinary characters in Australian military history. He was a husband, father, champion footballer and one of the finest soldiers this country has ever produced. The story of his sacrifice is used by the ADF to this day as a perfect example of valour and mateship. Although he is one of the most famous Victoria Cross recipients of all time, his story has never been fully told, until now. Author Michael Madden's book captures every sense of this compelling story of courage, sacrifice and never leaving your mates behind.   Presenter: Adam Blum Guest: Michael Madden Editor: Kyle Watkins Investigative Consultant: Adam Holloway Academic Adviser: Margaret Strike

24-MAY-1966. While serving with B Company 5th Battalion Royal Australian Regiment, Australian Regular Army, National Serviceman Private Errol Wayne Noack served as a section machine gunner during the Vietnam War. He was killed during his first military operation two weeks after arriving in-country and would go into the history books as the first Australian National Serviceman killed in Vietnam. His death would go to polarise Australian society about a war that was increasingly becoming unpopular, and his position as the first conscript killed in that war would serve as a rallying cry for those against mandatory military service.

How do you respond in an emergency? Jeremy Holder is the managing director and co-founder of EmergiSim. He was born and raised in Western Australia and joined the army at the age of seventeen in which he served as a medic in the Australian Regular Army for seven years.

Jeremy later became a civilian Intensive Care Paramedic for NSW Ambulance for twelve years.  During that time, he had four days on five days off, which was too much free time for him not to do anything with, and as such, Jeremy identified a need in his industry. It led him to start TacMed, a company specialising in equipment and training for high-threat environments. For five years Jeremy and his wife ran this business from their spare room, they then got government contracts and were able to upscale their business. TacMed trains and equips most police services around Australia, which opened up a need for staff with a specific background. EmergiSim is a virtual reality, emergency simulation training company that prepares first responders for the high-risk and life-threatening emergencies. EmergiSim is a collaborative company by TacMed and the virtual reality studio; Spectre Studios in Sydney. Together they provide unique and scalable emergency response training.  In this episode of Talking HealthTech, we sit down with Jeremy Holder from EmergiSim, and he teaches us all there is to know about getting first responders ready for high-risk and life-threatening emergencies with the help of virtual reality. As a bonus, Jeremy gives us a step by step checklist on how to save someone's life if they pass out.
