On today's Zero Limits Podcast  I am joined in the studio Kyle Wilson former Australian Army infantry soldier from the 2nd Battalion Royal Australian Regiment.Kyle served roughly 5 years within the army serving at 2RAR joining the army through the "Gap Year" program. Upon completion of the gap year he then enlisted as a fulltime soldier remaining posted at 2RAR. During his service he ran into to some trouble during an incident which had him serve time at the Defence Force Correctional Establishment at Holsworthy which almost destroyed his career.Kyle deployed to both to Timor Leste and Afghanistan on the Mentoring Task Force 3 rotation.During his deployment to Afghanistan he was awarded the Commendation for Gallantry with his citation reading -For acts of gallantry in action on 7 September 2011 while deployed on Operation Slipper as a member of Mentoring Task Force 3 in Afghanistan. While attempting to apprehend a withdrawing insurgent commander Private Wilson and a fellow soldier came under intense plunging fire from an insurgent force numbering three to five on their southern flank as well as fire from their quarry. Despite facing extreme personal danger Private Wilson and the other soldier advanced over 100 metres with no cover, concealment or friendly suppressive fire to close with and neutralise the insurgent commander. Their actions also drew fire away from the remainder of their section enabling them to reposition and engage more fully in the battle.Send us a text however note we cannot reply through these means.
