Welcome to this episode of Just Havin a Crack.

42 COURAGEOUS BRAVE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN

Sean Mulqueen was 25 when he enlisted in the Australian army, his trigger was 9/11. Like all of us, we remember that day. Well for Sean it was his memory which prompted him to enlist in the Australian Army.
Mully's grandfather was a Rat of Tobruk, his legacy lived with Mully and Mully wanted to do his country proud.
Mully joined the Combat Engineers, doesn't sound much but the storey grows from there.
The combat engineers like all soldiers have an important role to play in combat. Yes, they build infrastructure and support for others, but they also provide clearance for troops when a survey on patrol. You see the engineer is the pointy end of the patrol, looking for mines, explosives and other weaponry that could cause harm to the rest of the troops.
This story we go into the Afganistan conflict and we see it from a solders eye.
The situation was real, the enemy was real.
Mully returned with battle scars but the biggest injury was the mental scars of war.
We named this episode 42 Courageous Brave But Not Forgotten, this is to support Mully's charity which he set up with his mates that served in Afganistan.
42 for 42 represents the 41 fallen soldiers in the Afghanistan conflict and the 42nd is for those who have tragically taken the lives through suicide.
