Jimi Hendrix – US Infantry

Jimi Hendrix always seemed like a real bad boy, but before he even became famous, he was already doing some outrageous stuff, like getting arrested in a stolen car. Hendrix was given two choices, to either go to jail or join the U.S. Army.

You guessed right, he chose the latter. He was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division in Kentucky, where he completed his paratrooper training. However, it is his undeniable love for music that kept him from following a military career. He was eventually discharged due to an injury sustained in a parachute jump.
