S.A.D. (Seek & Destroy‪)‬

This story is set in Perth, Western Australia. Al Connor has to decide what he is going to do with his life. He isnt the cleverest of blokes, but he has a way with solving problems. His father suggested he join the army as at least he will get fed and have clothes to wear and something to do. Well, he joins up, and soon he is sent to Afghanistan, where he excels in the field. He hates authority and wonders why they never understand what goes on out on the battlefield. He befriends many men, and they form a bond that will help them survive together.

With the skills he displays, he is soon decorated for his heroism, but he doesnt want the medals and the praise, he says. He is just doing what he is ordered to do. Others see it differently and respect this brave Aussie soldier. He thinks he isnt the best-looking bloke and wonders if he will ever get a girlfriend or even get married. Circumstances arise where he is put in front of different women, and he wonders if he is being given the chance to find his true love. Life never runs smoothly with its twists and turns. Who knows what is ahead of him?
