In this episode, Soldier On’s Jason Isaac sits down with Joe, a former submariner, to explore life beneath the sea, the sacrifices of long deployments, and the challenges of transitioning back to family and civilian life. Joe shares how submariners are trained to understand every system on board, why accountability and trust are non-negotiable, and how resilience develops in confined spaces. He reflects candidly on family separation, the process of reintegration, and why knowing your “why” is critical before leaving Defence.
