Wanniassa pharmacist and Defence Force reservist Luke Peacock appreciates the support he has received from his employer for his military duties, but it is the backing from his wife Susie that is truly remarkable.
Mr Peacock, who has been working at the Erindale Pharmacy for eight years and has been a reservist in the army for four-and-a-half years, is the father of a six-month-old daughter, Kayla.
“I’ve just done one two-week [Army Reserve] course and I have another two-weeker coming up,” he said.

“It’s pretty good to get a leave pass from home when we’ve got a six-month old; I’d like to think that if the roles were reversed I’d be willing to do the same, but I’m not sure.”
