Excellent.
In relation to the OP you weren't "bad" until later...I get that. I had friends I'd gone to school with who just chose the wrong path too. I'd suppose that having that good base as a child from your parents helped you realize the error of your ways once the military gave you what you needed.
That's great!
I just wonder if the kids in the first post won't have that opportunity or if everyone is redeemable given the right circumstances.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
