I was given an opportunity to join the marines instead of go to jail - and I think I made the correct decision.
Everybody who wants to be in a band should be made to join the marines.
The marines gave me an eternal discipline.
While I didn't grow up in a family where there was domestic violence I knew of families in my neighbourhood where abuse was happening. I wanted to be part of the Women's Aid Real Man campaign to send out the message that real men don't abuse their partners or their children.
