Success Statements

“After leaving the military, my biggest challenge was overcoming the fear of securing and maintaining employment and important relationships while managing the mental health issues I developed during my service. With the assistance of my Employment Transition Manager, Kristal Watts, I was able to navigate these challenges successfully. Kristal helped me update my resume to a professional standard, provided job leads, guided me to mental health support, and informed me about other VA benefits. Her patience and extensive knowledge were instrumental in my journey.

As a result of Kristal’s support, I am now the newest employee at Help@Home, hired as a field coordinator in my home neighborhood with a better salary than my previous job. Additionally, I have initiated my disability claim with an RSO to enhance my financial stability.

Thanks to OJRV, the Call of Duty Endowment, and most importantly, Kristal Watts, I gained the confidence and the professional tools needed to secure a stable, in-demand career. Without Kristal’s guidance, I would still be struggling to find direction, endlessly submitting applications without success. Her support has truly transformed my transition to civilian life.”
