Jimi Hendrix
Yes, the guitar god is on the list as well! Before he made it big in the music industry, he underwent training to be a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division. However, he got discharged after a year when he broke an ankle during a botched landing. That was the 26th jump he had under his belt.
Gene Roddenberry
It feels like some people were born for greatness! Gene Roddenberry was one of those people. After he graduated from Angeles City College in 1942, he joined the Air Force. He was a part of the 394th Bomb Squadron of the Air Force. A few years after that, he created the iconic show Star Trek.
