I Catch Killers with Gary Jubelin · 'I owe it to the guys who died to do something': Mark Wales Pt.1 · 4 Jul 2026 podcast

Yeah, one plus.

So, yeah, that's a factor, I guess.

I was – I felt a bit –

I was a bit dismayed.

I was really glad that I'd gotten to do the very thing that I kind of set out to do.

I was disappointed about how things had unfolded overseas towards the end.

I was like, this is clearly a mistake.

And I also remember being that kind of fork in the road going, okay, you're going to commit to a career now.

Where you're going to be in Canberra a lot and you're going to be an officer and you're going to be away from that coalface.

And I just didn't want to do it.

I didn't have it in me.

And I'd also lost a lot of respect for a lot of ladies because I was like, I had seen behind how the sausage was being made and I just didn't love it.

I was looking at US business schools.

I wanted to kind of – if I was going to jump out of a great career, I wanted to try and jump to something else great and then settle on trying to apply for some US schools.

And I kind of did it in secret.

I studied on the side.

I was still in.

What rank did you retire at?

So I left the regiment at the end of 2010.

and went back to Duntroon as a trainer for a year and a half when I was a major at that point.
