    On today's Zero Limits Podcast in a 2 part podcast I chat with Craig “Spins” Turnball. Spins was a K9 Handler in the Incident Response Regiment (IRR) now known as SOER and also spent time in 2 CER and 3 CER (Combat Engineer Regiment)

    Craig enlisted into the army reserve in 1990 whilst still at school and spent a couple years at 5/11 regt RAA as a FO Sig. In 1994 he enlisted into the regular army and was posted to the transport corps. After 12 months in transport he put in his transfer to become a combat engineer. Craig was posted to 2CER/ 3CER and to the Incident Response Regiment as a K9 handler.

    He deployed on multiple deployments including Solomons Islands , SOTG III and SOTG IV deployments with SASR as an explosive detection handler from Incident Response Regiment and a deployment with Combat Engineer Regiment Afghanistan MTF1. During one of the SOTG deployments as spoken about in Mark Direen’s Podcast Ep. 159, Mark’s and Spins LRPV hit a IED with Mark and vehicle driver getting medically evacuated due to injuries. Spins and his Explosive Detection K9 Razz were rattled from the explosion but carried on with the patrol however a couple of hours later during a route search K9 Razz indicated and sat on a IED which initiated the main charge being killed instantly with spins only a short distance away yet again gets thrown by the blast and injured.
