About this listen

This portable podcast is hosted and edited by Gavin Watson, a British Army veteran of 16 years. He talks to other military veterans, allowing them to share their stories and experiences from before, during and after service.

This podcast will give non-military personnel the chance to gain a better understanding of military life and gain an insight into what the transition back to civilian life can be like. These strong individuals may inspire, after dealing with diversity, resilience and possibly life changing injuries or illnesses.

If you’re a veteran missing your time in the military, this is a great way to rekindle that fire. Regardless of service, rank or time served....every veteran has an experience to share. Sometimes, they just need an opportunity to do so.

This podcast is recorded and edited in Gav’s free time.

  • Viewpoint 37: Rob Campbell
    Feb 10 2026

    Original Episode: Ep 037 - COL Rob Campbell from 10th June 2023.

    In this Viewpoint, Rob discusses his transition from military to civilian life, connecting it to his distinct milestones from his tenure in the United States Army.

    He shares the challenges he encountered upon leaving the military after 27 years, including adapting to civilian life, which presented its own learning and adaptation to new civilian roles.

    This led him to become an author and write several books to share these experiences. We discussed “It’s Personal, Not Personnel,” which shares what he learnt from his time in service, and “At Ease,” which is about transitioning out of the military.
