On today's Zero Limits Podcast I chat with John Armfield Clearance Diver from the Royal Australian Navy.John enlisted into the Royal Australian Navy in 2003 and served just over 20 years predominantly as a Clearance Diver. During his service John deployed on multiple operations including Operation Slipper with 5/7 RAR as part of the Explosive Ordinates Disposal team with army engineers.Further to John’s story, his brother Andrew joined the Australian army in 2001 deploying to East Timor as an infantryman and then later service transfer to the Royal Australian Airforce. In 2011 Andrew’s mental health had declined and he committed suicide and where this story goes south is John only found out about the existence of an internal report into his brother’s death 10 years after the traumatic event. John presented to the Royal Commission about serious failures he encountered in the ADF’s treatment of his brother and spoke about a hostile culture as he grappled with the circumstances of Andrew’s death.
