On today's Zero Limits Podcast I chat with Nathan Bolton former Sapper from the Special Operation Engineer Regiment and Author of Trigger Warning: A Special Operations Engineer in AfghanistanBefore enlisting into the Australian Defence Force Nathan worked in the mines, worked on the oil rigs, was a volunteer firefighter with the Country Fire Service, and then enlisted into the army reserves as an engineer however during Kapooka he transferred to the regular army.After joining the Army, Nathan was posted to 1 Combat Engineer Regiment in Darwin, however a few months later he was posted to the Special Operations Engineer Regiment based out of Holsworthy in Sydney between 2009 and 2014. In 2010 and 2012, Nathan deployed to Afghanistan as part of the Special Operations Task Group supporting the 2nd Command Regiment. Nathan found himself involved in multiple situations, from having his vehicle blown up, being pinned down by enemy gunfire, laying on top of IED’s, and more.Trigger Warning is a story of success, triumph, trauma and overcoming. This is the story of a former Special Operations Engineer as he worked relentlessly to rekindle his life after the war. Having worked alongside Australia’s Special Forces, he discusses in great detail, the exploits that he was tasked to perform as an engineer during his multiple tours to Afghanistan, during some of the roughest years of the war. However, this tale is something more, as it is also a human story, of a son chasing his father’s approval, the challenges of growing up in a shadow, and one man’s unrelenting drive to make peace with the demons that followed him home.
