• If I had joined the military, I probably would’ve been kicked out because I wouldn’t have been able to take orders. 
• Darielle: Boarding school was a great thing for me. 
• I was a Heroin and cocaine intravenous addict.

• Redcon1 has always been purpose-driven – especially serving the military.
