Team,
Welcome to our next podcast from TA18 - we are nearing the end of the podcasts captured from this program.
This time we gather yet another insightful perspective about life in Defence, operational service and adjusting after time away.
Kelly-Anne started her career in 97' as a reservist medical assistant in Mackay, while also working as a Jillaroo on massive acreage.
Multiple deployments, including to Banda Aceh following the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami, which had a lasting effect on Kelly, and took some months to process.
Stepping up as a female SNCO in a combat engineer unit, Kelly also had to navigate leadership in a male dominated Corps.
A current serving member, Kelly is an instructor at Canungra, and after having done Timor Awakening, sees the benefit programs like it could have on members prior to separation.
Great insights and shares indeed.
Many thanks Kelly
Enjoy listeners
