John HardgraveHOST
At what point, I guess, as we're exploring that relationship of you working in the British Army, did you then go, hey, I've got an opportunity? Or how did you even find out there is an opportunity to continue to serve whilst you're in another country?

Oliver DouglasGUEST
My Australian Reserve Service is deeply important to me as it is for everyone who wears the uniform.

Oliver DouglasGUEST
I first appointed in June of 2019 as I sought to commence my university studies the next year in February 2020.

Oliver DouglasGUEST
I went through a little bit abnormally, I think, compared to most people in the sense that I knocked over sort of a TB every six months.

Oliver DouglasGUEST
So I commissioned in November of 2022 and was then posted to Third Ninth as it came under First Armoured Regiment.
