All About Gary Bostick, Former U.S. Army Psychological Operations Specialist and Military Police Platoon Leader

Gary BostickGary is a former U.S. Army Psychological Operations Specialist and Military Police Platoon Leader with extensive experience in developing collaborative relationships, leading tactical teams, and managing critical operations. His military career includes deployments to Afghanistan and various missions within the United States, where he worked alongside NATO forces and led a platoon of 50 soldiers in military police operations. His service has been recognized with numerous awards and decorations, including the Army Commendation Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, and NATO Medal.

After leaving the military, Gary faced the challenge of finding an environment that offered the same camaraderie, esprit de corps, and brotherhood experienced during his service. The lack of relatable experiences and understanding in civilian life led him to create Junked: Powered by Veterans. We provide a psychologically safe environment for veterans, connecting them with essential resources and services to help them thrive in society. We offer veterans a sense of purpose through employment and actively support veteran organizations such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans, American Legion, and Delta Veterans Group.

Junked: Powered by Veterans has been recognized for its contributions, including furnishing homes for formerly homeless veterans and receiving accolades from the Veterans Administration Compensated Work Therapy program and the California Employer Advisory Council. These recognitions highlight the commitment to helping veterans recover, thrive, and find a sense of belonging in their post-military lives.
