Homeless Man Talks About His Life

This video features an interview with Jeffrey David Chisc, a self-described "in transient" disabled American veteran (0:32). He shares insights into his life, how he became homeless, and his perspectives. Here's a summary of his story: Background and Service Jeffrey is from Papillion, Nebraska, and served in the Air Force for 30 years, retiring at age 44 (0:05-0:15, 6:35-6:41). He is a 100% service-connected disabled American veteran (0:15-0:18). He emphasizes the strict "one mistake Air Force" policy, particularly regarding drug use, which he avoided to keep his pension (4:23-4:41). Path to Homelessness Jeffrey attributes his homelessness primarily to a woman, humorously stating, "It's usually the same thing. It's a woman" (0:42-0:46). He also mentions an issue with a wagon full of thousands of dollars worth of items from Walmart that he can't return or take on the bus (0:53-1:12). He refers to his current situation as being "in transient" rather than homeless, noting it's "the same thing, it just sounds fancier" (0:32-0:37). Family and Childhood Jeffrey has stepchildren who he says "don't call him" (1:16-1:19). He recounts raising them like his own, similar to how his own father raised him (1:49-1:53). He shared a story about caring for his father during the last 18 months of his life after his father passed away from lateral sclerosis (2:11-2:20). He describes his childhood as "great," stating they were "poor, but didn't know it" (2:24-2:31). He also mentions his parents' divorce after 50 years of marriage (3:03-3:06). Current Situation and Hopes Jeffrey currently sleeps "wherever he's tired," often "out here in the mean streets" (5:48-5:56). He mentions that the Colorado Springs Fire Department homeless outreach team is working to find him a place (4:05-4:15). He states that he is still the "same sweet Jeffrey David Jes," though perhaps "a little more innocent" before being exposed to the "harsh truths" and "seedy underbelly of society" (4:56-5:07, 7:29-7:32). He also expresses his hope to find his wife, Margaret Dean, who is also on the streets (9:12-9:28). Reflections and Advice Jeffrey believes people often misunderstand that he is a "good guy" (6:01-6:05). He feels society has let him down the most (9:50-9:57). When asked about regrets, he cites the saying from Adidas in Tokyo: "Live life with no regrets" (8:43-8:48). His advice to others in similar shoes is to "keep a stiff upper lip and prevail," "never explain and never make excuses," and "just live by example" (10:40-10:59).
