ADF DOUBLE STANDARDS - THE SASR GRATTWICK CLUB PROMOTIONAL ITEMS evidence enough!

MAY I ASK A FAVOUR OF MY FRIENDS

My darling son,Zeek, needs support and needs to be cheered up. As most of you will know he is now in the process of a Medical Discharge from the Australian Army as a result of the injuries he sustained after an IED incident in Afghanistan. He will never work in any of the roles he was trained for again. He will never run again, and for someone who was a PT/Fitness Instructor and followed active weekly physical training schedule of up to 50 hrs of exercise a WEEK, this is a hugely challenging time for him emotionally. He is also being forced to walk away from a career he devoted the last eight years of his life to, a career that saw him deployed for 9 months to Timor Leste and 9 months to Afghanistan, he was decorated with the Soldiers Medallion for Exemplary Service in 2012.
These promotional items were still on sale from both The Grattwick Club and the SASSPORTS Store on the SASR Base Campbell Barracks, in October 2014 when I was in Perth to care for Zeek post his spinal surgery.
Would you all share this photograph as evidence of the entrenched cultural problems still rampant in the ADF, and if we can make it 'go viral' as they say these days, that would raise awareness of the urgent need for cultural change within the ADF and it would raise Zeek's spirits immensely. 

(NOTE: Anyone who condones this materials - PLEASE KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT - I don't want to hear your opinions and neither does my son).


PLEASE SHARE AND SUPPORT ZEEK AND ALL OUR AMAZING HONOURABLE YOUNG ADF MEMBERS by helping to achieve cultural change in the ADF so that it becomes a safe workplace free of bullying and discrimination, a workplace that all Australians regardless of gender, sexuality, race or religion can serve OUR country safely.
