Я слышал что Хендрикс служил в армии с отличием, это правда? уа

От его однополчан слышал? Или было тебе видение?

он служил в десантных войсках, год с 1961 по 62 ой
После увольнения из армии Хендрикс под псевдонимом Джимми Джеймс начал работать в Нью-Йорке как приглашенный гитарист с такими артистами, как Сэм Кук, Тина Тернер и группой The Isley Brothers

Не только он, но и Элвис Пресли тоже.

Фигню ты слышал ))) Это Элвис Пресли был хорошим мальчиком и образцовым солдатом.
В армии Джими Хендрикс был полнейшим и законченным разгильдяем, за что был уволен через год службы, хотя подписывал контракт на три.

As you'd expect, young Private Hendrix's rebellious attitude didn't especially wow his commanding officers -- among his many faults, he slept while on duty, required constant supervision, and wasn't a particularly good marksman. According to reports, he was a "habitual offender" when it came to missing midnight bed checks and was unable to "carry on an intelligent conversation." True to his calling, he continued playing guitar while off-duty, which didn't endear him with the other men in the barracks, who just wanted a good night's sleep. His constant noodling led one of his commanding officers to comment, "This is one of his faults, because his mind apparently cannot function while performing duties and thinking about his guitar."

Although Hendrix had signed up for three years of service, Captain Gilbert Batchman had had enough after one year, and made the case for Hendrix to be discharged, as his problems were judged to not be treatable by "hospitalization or counseling." An alleged ankle injury during a parachute jump gave Young Hendrix the opportunity to bow out of active duty with an honorable discharge, and he was happy to oblige. It can be said that at least he had the benefit of dental care while in service at Fort Campbell and California's Fort Ord -- care that would come in useful later in his musical career.
