What the heck does this have to do with video games? Well not a whole lot really, at least not directly anyway. C.O.D.E. or Call Of Duty Endowment is a website sponsored by Activision and Call of Duty. The main goal of the site is to help Veterans find jobs after the military. This has been a problem across America for a long time and something needs to be done about this. So Activision has answered the “Call of Duty” and created the C.O.D.E. website to raise awareness and help combat against this issue.

Earlier this afternoon, C.O.D.E. posted a list of upcoming job fairs specifically for Veterans. If you know a Veteran who is jobless and happens to live in these areas, please pass this information on to them. Remember, without our Veterans, there would be no freedom to play video games, among many, many other things. The list of the job fairs is as follows:

Some of you may not know this, but our very own Steven Artlip, creator and owner of Platform Nation, is a Veteran of the armed forces, so I believe this is something that Platform Nation takes seriously. Please show your support by helping your local Veterans.

Rodder and I will be retiring from Squad XP and along with us so will the brand that Squad XP has built over the past 5 years. It was fun to do the show and even up to today I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. But I feel, just like any good series on TV or radio sometimes it just has to move along. I don’t know what I’ll be doing next. Maybe something with video or I’ll just start other projects in my personal life.

If you would like to follow our future projects as well as our day to day lives, our twitter account are available below.

The site will no longer be updated and our forums will be removed from the Platform Nation list. You can still expect to find Rodder and myself around Platform Nation from time to time.

I want to thank each of you that aided me in my success and I will be forever grateful that you gave us the chance to entertain you each week for the past 5 years.

Any who it was a great show then again I am drunk.
