Desde 1966-1969 sirvió en Papúa Nueva Guinea. Durante esta publicación, se casó con Marlena Kerr de Sídney, con quien tuvo tres hijos y una hija. Esto fue seguido por un período de servicio en la Guerra de Vietnam, durante el cual fue galardonado con la Cruz Militar (MC). Jeffery seguía convencido de que la participación de Australia en la Guerra de Vietnam era correcta. "Creo apasionadamente que Vietnam fue una causa justa en las circunstancias de la época", dijo durante un discurso en 2002 a veteranos australianos de la guerra.[3] En 1972, Jeffery fue ascendido a teniente coronel, [cita requerida] al mando del 2.º Batallón del Regimiento de las Islas del Pacífico desde 1974 hasta 1975.
