Supply Crate – Marcus

Marcus, in the Army, requested a Supply Crate after remembering Stack Up while on deployment. He's been having a tough time because of the hours and is away from his son.

Hi! My name's Marcus, I've been in the army 16 years. I actually met some representatives from Stackup way back at Twitch con about 8, 9 years ago, there was an officer who had a picture where he pointed out the Game Boy Advanced with Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced making a bulge in his uniform pocket, but I digress... This deployment has been really rough on me because I work an unusual shift (supervising communications equipment, gotta have comms!), so I've had very little time to socialize with other people due to my odd work/sleep cycle. My oldest son back home has also had a hard time coping with Dad (me!) being away, so it would be exciting to come home with a new video game system for us to bond over.

Those odd work hours can really take a toll on a servicemember's mind. We're sorry to hear Marcus' deployment has been rough on him. While a new game console can't solve everything, it can definitely help with occupying time in those odd off hours and give a kid plenty to be excited about.

Marcus did not send a reply in words, but rather pictures and we think they say quite enough!

Thanks goes out to IGotPuppies and his community for their support in sponsoring this Supply Crate. IGotPuppies has sponsored multiple gaming care packages and currently streams on Kick. Go on and check him out.
