But even before I was in the military, I was extremely jumpy when asleep.

Because my father was often absent on naval duty, my mother suffered me to do much as I pleased.

And then, when I went into the Navy, there was no choice. You took about half of the hours during your naval training as naval courses and the other half were engineering.

When I was 17, I was told I had the choice of enlisting in the Navy or going to jail, so I spent the next three years in the Navy.

The one good thing about our school was the Cadets; I chose to be in the Navy, purely for the sailor's outfit. A pity we had to give them back.

My grandpa was in the Navy, but it wasn't something that was expected or planned for me to do.

I grew up in a Navy family.

In real life, I first started sleep walking in high school because that was when this concept of getting into college first appeared. I had this moment of, 'Oh! This is going to affect the rest of my life.'

I really empathise with some of my peers who had success in the early years; then it dries up, and so there's no reason to get up in the morning.

When I happened to get into school, I felt like I could approach it as aggressively as things in the military.
