Scott "Jacko" Jackman served with the 8/9 Royal Australian Regiment. He deployed to both East Timor and Afghanistan where in 2012 he sustained an injury. In 2013, he was diagnosed with Major Depression, PTSD and debilitating back and neck injuries and was medically discharged from military service.
Soon after, Scott was deeply devastated after the death of his assistance dog "Whiskey". In an effort to support and assist in Scott's rehabilitation, close family and friends gave Scott the encouragement he needed knowing that he was more than able to help and support others through his experiences, knowledge and empathy.
Thus, was the birth of Whiskey's Wish. Its important Mission is to provide training and puppies for service dog training to veterans, first responders & correctional officers who suffer from PTSD and service-related injuries.
