Alright dudes, maybe gals. Not sure who all is going to see this as I want it to stay relatively private. Got myself into a bind. In May of 2014 I exited the Marine Corps to pursue a private contract. I went down to Moyock, completely my WPS certification and was ready to deploy. Things went south quick. Academi lost 2 positions and left 80 guys sitting on the bench. I held onto hope until about January of this year when all of my funds and credit was exhausted and I had to take a job as an electrician. I'm currently living paycheck to paycheck on about 12-1500 dollars a month. The ramen noodle struggle is real.

8 months as an electrician and my soul is dying. Flat out dying. My warrior spirit is foaming at the mouth. I need to get back around meat eaters.

I have a wonderful girlfriend, and a six year old to look out for. I've reapplied with a new company to get downrange and start making the kind of cash my skill set demands. Things are going smoothly with them and I'm looking to either recertify in full, or simply requal. Either way I'm hoping to have my ass in the back of a Land Rover by Thanksgiving.

This is why I need your help. Working as an electrician I'm unable to save any cash at all. Not the kind that I need to make this move. I have to set myself up to pay 2 months of my current bills, plus front some cash for equipment that I need to train, and deploy, not to mention give myself some cushion while I wait to deploy.

This money will allow me to concentrate fully on getting back into the fight both mentally and physically. Asking you all for help is probably the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.

All I ask is that if you share this to help me out, you do it in private, in one on one messages. I'll only be sharing this with people that I know genuinely know me, and give a fuck about me. Thank you all for your time.
