Supply Crate – Richard

We're closing out the week with another Supply Crate update. If you are unaware, we have some staff and volunteers out at San Diego Comic-Con. Find them at the Voodoo Ranger pirate ship.

Today's update comes from Richard, an Army Veteran.

I have been out of the ARMY since 2015 I did not get out like i wanted to I spent 10 years 11months and 28 days on active duty, from the USDB (Guard not an inmate) to GITMO to Afghanistan and the NWJRCF I have had a unique career filled with many challenges none more then transitioning back to civilian world. it's been a long hard road for me though tough I have made friends through gaming online I had a Xbox One but the old girl has gave her last measure of duty and devotion and passed on to the next world. I am now left without that connection I had and I am hoping that you all might beable to help me out. Why I can't just go out and buy a new one? well I am glad you asked, I am in school I do get partial BAH as my school is online and candidly it's not enough to pay rent and cover all my bills my family and I are struggling hard core I am seeking employment in the tech field which oddly enough is hard to break into even if you have an A+, NET+, SEC+ and your CEH. (if you know anyone hiring for a soc analyst spot and can pay for a move I am happy to apply!) All that said a new Box would really help the morale around the house and could help me keep in touch with my kids who live a few states over. regardless of how this shakes out Thank you for your consideration.

We understand that difficult transition. Video games are a great way to escape those difficult moments and even release frustrations at attempting to resettle back into the civilian world.

More about Richard's crate: One of our volunteers, a friend of his, let him know about Stack Up and threw us a vouch for him. We're glad we could help.

If you know of any jobs within those fields, especially jobs looking for Veterans, we have a job board in the Stack Up discord. Feel free to drop off links and posts about them.
