“One of the biggest challenges I faced after leaving the military was adjusting to the civilian job market. In the military, I was confident in my skills, but transitioning into the civilian world brought new roadblocks, especially in navigating employment opportunities and financial changes.

Working with Kristal Watts was truly a turning point. She has been absolutely amazing, continuing to check in with me even three years later through emails and phone calls. Kristal guided me toward valuable resources on starting my own business and helped me find the right direction to build something meaningful.

Thanks to her support and the OJRV program, I now own a company I’m proud of and feel confident in my ability to provide high-quality services within my community. The transition from military to civilian life hasn’t been easy, but OJRV gave me the tools and encouragement to succeed.

I’m deeply grateful to Ms. Kristal Watts for her dedication and continued support. I reached out to her often for guidance, and she was always there to help. I will gladly refer other veterans to OJRV for employment and transition resources. It’s been an incredible experience.”
