The other thing that really helped was the United States Marine Corps. So we think of the Marine Corps as a military outfit and of course it is. But for me, The US Marine Corps was a four year crash course in character education. Taught me how to make a bed, how to do laundry, how to wake up early, how to manage my finances. These are things my community didn't teach me. (11:47–11:51)

CLAIM
