Скачать или смотреть Gang Life Marked Him for Failure but the Navy Saved His Life!

He had gang tattoos on his face and body. The Marines said no. The Navy gave him a second chance and it saved his life.

In this powerful episode of Urban Valor, we sit down with a former gang member whose face told one story—but his heart told another. Rejected by the Marines for his visible gang tattoos, he walked next door to the Navy recruiter. What happened next changed everything.

Raised in the streets, surrounded by violence, drugs, and tragedy, he was still an active gang member when he walked into the recruiting station. But his newborn daughter, born prematurely at just 2 pounds, gave him a reason to escape gang life. The Navy didn’t just give him a job—it gave him purpose, structure, and a future. From MEPS waivers to duck walks, to rising through the ranks and retiring as a Master Chief, this is the story of how gang life nearly killed him and the Navy saved him.

If you’ve ever wondered what real redemption looks like, or how someone with a past full of gang ties and tattoos can turn it all around, this is the episode to watch.
