I know a guy like that. Grew up poor in the Bronx, always in trouble. Finally had a judge tell him he could go in the Marines or go to jail. He went into the Marines, turned his life around, did a tour in Kuwait (Gulf War I). Now he's a VP in a small business. He'll tell you right off the bat that going into the Marines saved his life.
