In this episode of The Grey Man Podcast, we sit down with Mark Henneberry, a Royal Australian Artillery Warrant Officer Class 2 with 23 years of service. Mark joined the Army at just 17 and deployed to Cambodia in 1993—an experience that shaped his perspective on service and the challenges of deploying at a young age. We dive deep into the transition from military life to the civilian world, focusing on the critical need for finding identity and purpose after discharge. Mark shares how he navigated his own path into the defence industry and his mission to foster community through the Wet Canteen Bottling Company. This veteran-owned whiskey company isn't just about the spirits; it’s about creating an authentic space for veterans and first responders to connect, reflect, and maintain the bond of mateship. In this episode, we discuss: Mark’s 23-year career in the Royal Australian Artillery. The realities of deploying to Cambodia at age 17. Navigating the "identity gap" after leaving the uniform behind. Building a community for veterans and first responders. The story behind Wet Canteen Bottling Company.
