Background to my injury - 2002


"I think the best way to tell this story is by starting at the end, briefly, then going back to the beginning; then periodically returning to the end, maybe giving different characters' perspectives throughout. Just to, you know, give it a bit of dynamism . Otherwise it's just sort of a linear story."

- David Ershon in The Other Guys 

No seriously, I was medically discharged from the Australian Army in 2003 due pain in my back that I just couldn't shake. I tried for 12 months flat out - physio, doctors, drugs (the prescribed kind!!) I just couldn't do the army thing anymore. Standing was the worst - so drill and parades were just not going to happen.

This is what it looked like in 2002
