Strap yourselves in ladies & gents because this episode of Axons Unleashed is one of the best so far (which is a BIG call…) Hot off the heels of an incredibly successful inaugural Veteran Games, Heston Russell joins the boys in our studio. A mini-reunion of sorts, as “Hesto” talks about his time at ADFA with Luke, running into Captain “Guns ‘n’ Buns” Turner at RMC-D, how Hesto finally entered the SOCOMD world, before hearing why he decided to discharge from the ADF.
It's a cracking chat between three mates, who love being veterans, that finds itself discussing Hesto in politics, his experiences with November Platoon in Afghanistan, his (now famous) PTI Nanna and of course how the Veteran Games came to be.
On this podcast, you will discover things about Hesto you did not know about him.

He even has a Tammy…) Phil tells us his journey from growing up in Papua New Guinea, to a poor Uni student in Sydney, loving the cockpit of a helicopter in the Australian Army, and his success story of another Veteran living his best life.
Alongside the Axon boys, this episode touches on knowing when it's time to transition, the importance of long-term planning in business and the enduring friendships formed in the ADF.

We love mixing things up here on Axons Unleashed!
This cracking episode has not one but two enlistment stories… from the same solider! An uncommon story even amongst our guests, Sam tells his incredible journey from enlistment as a teenager, to discharge shortly after, to despair as a civvie, and back into the ADF again -proudly serving his country.
This is a journey that would not be possible without serious doses of humility and reflection of past mistakes, with the seeking of improvement.
With all the life lessons Sam explains, his story is an uplifting one that has him in a really good place - with plenty more to come. Don’t miss the episode and stick around to the end for a very unexpected, first time guest appearance… -
When Luke was first posted to East Timor as part of the DCP, he was completely unaware of the journey ahead of him. What was meant to be a 24-month posting of a lifetime with his new son and wife, soon changed to become a nightmare that would not end.
This situation eventually saw Luke medically discharge from a budding career as an Army Officer. On this episode hear an incredibly vulnerable and moving recount from Luke himself as he sits with RT to properly debrief the challenges and struggles faced by him and his family during an almost 5-year tenure abroad.
There are tears on this one - can you guess who from?
