WALLACE, Idaho — It’s been a cold and long winter for former Army Sgt. Roy Gomez. Separated from the military for nearly five years now, his transition into civilian life has taken a little longer than he expected.
“I figured with a DD-214 and an associates degree, I’d have no issues finding a job,” says Roy as he sits in his recliner positioned nicely in the corner of his trailer home. “But I’ve only found seasonal work most years.”
Although many veterans experience a similar scenario upon leaving the military, Roy has a unique way of keeping his head up about it all.
