Welcome back to A Soldiers Five Podcast for 2023. As mentioned, I have rebranded from The ALCON Podcast, as this better reflects what this podcast is all about.

In this episode I talk to Aaron Wood, one of the founders of No Duff. No Duff is a volunteer Veterans NGO committed to providing immediate welfare assistance to past and present members of the NZDF, particularly veterans, in order to ensure that the mental, physical, financial, spiritual and social health of all personnel is maintained at the highest possible level.

The basic concept of operations for this organisation is to provide first response, boots on the ground support where and when required to current and former service personnel, particularly veterans, in critical need. To do so we have built a network of volunteers across the country who are willing to support the New Zealand veteran community. 

This is a medium-spice episode, with some contentious discussion had. If you are on the other side of these discussions then please reach out and I will have you on to get other sides of the story. At the end of the day, it's all about the veteran.
