Everett began his career as a mechanic fixing supply trucks and joined the Special Air Service Regiment (SASR) at 18 where he spent three and a half years.

He claimed the selection course was the hardest thing he had ever done in his life (including his prison sentence).

However, because the Australian Army was not at war, he left for Burma and took great interest in the Karen people.
