On this week’s podcast I speak with Australian Special Forces 2nd Commando Regiment Veteran / Police Officer Murray Turner. A friend submitted an application on behalf of Murray to become a NSW Police Officer. After a short two-year career as a Police Officer, Murray was looking to further his career in which he decided to join the Royal Australian Army. Upon being accepted into the military post training he was posted to the 2nd Battalion Royal Australian Regiment. He then completed selection for then 4RAR Commando which now is the 2nd Commando Regiment. He spent a total of 16 years as a Commando deploying to East Timor and multiple highly kinetic Afghanistan operations as part of Special Operations Task Group, also working in Tactical Assault Group (TAG- EAST). Murray spoke of his deployments the cost of war service losing mates in combat and transiting from the Special Forces and finding purpose again after service a raw and honest chat.
