Just something that i took upon myself to do because ive walked in the shoes of a homeless veteran and an unemployed veteran before. So, going back to the second issue here, i have three years of active duty and San Francisco retirement board will not pick you up unless you join from San Francisco or you are waiting on an city employment list.

That served on active duty, but it also helps the city by moving people along. I served active duty for three years. That would move me out of the system. And id like to move along and retire so that i can devote more time to helping veterans because i can see where theres a lot of need and a lot of areas where veterans can be helped, particularly in the areas of employment. When i was at the Community Center, i put a lot of people to work in construction and i privately made veterans a priority when i was putting them in the Construction Apprenticeship programs because i remembered myself being homeless. So, i said when i would look at the he application, i said, okay, this person is a veteran. So, im going to just make them a priority for the next apprenticeship opportunity that i have.
