Episode 29. Major Marsh Australian Army Chaplain

Roger spent his time in the Army from 2006-2019 as a Chaplain. Roger discusses his pipeline of becoming a chaplain and what some of his duties were. He talks about the duties while in Afghanistan and working with people there, as well as explaining what it was like doing Family notifications for fallen soldiers once back in Australia.  He was medically discharged after dealing with the mental toll these duties had on him.  We get into typical Army life and experiences he had along the way.  We get into something I'm learning more here, regardless of nationality there seems to be a common ground of understanding amongst the veteran community that we don't easily get from our local civilian communities.  Another common aspect is the reality that, no matter what happens, we still have a job or mission to do the next day..    Roger has written 2 books- "Echos In The Wind", and  "A wind Of Bitter Tears"
