Primary teacher Gordon Webb proudly served in the Australian Army for 23 years, reaching the rank of sergeant. He first became an air-defence gunner and later worked in administration as a clerk. Most notably, Gordon was deployed to Egypt as part of Operation Mazurka, which oversees the terms of a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel, but the task was always fraught with danger… His pre-army journey was a tough one. Gordon repeated Year 12 and wants those facing academic struggles to know that you can still make something of yourself… Although he recommends a career in the army, Gordon reveals the personal toll it can take, along with the crossovers between the military and the classroom, and a treasured memory of guarding Queen Elizabeth II… Co-hosts Ruby and Ben Collins also share their own ANZAC link... The show is produced by Aiden Arandez, with support from Jamie Canning and Jonathan Lynch. Cover art and music provided by Michael Poke.
