Inspired by Bill Murray's performance in the 1981 comedy film Stripes, Keenan joined the United States Army, with the intention of having the G.I. Bill fund his dream of attending art school.[5] By this point, he had lived in Kansas, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Texas.[10] He initially served in the Army as a forward observer before studying at West Point Prep School from 1983 to 1984.
In addition to completing a rigorous math and English curriculum, Keenan wrestled, ran on the cross country team, and sang in the glee club.[10] It was during his time in the military that he adopted the sobriquet "Maynard" on a whim,[11] based on a fictional character he had created in high school.[12] He was distinguished in basic and advanced training,[13] but declined an appointment to West Point and instead chose to pursue a music career because of his disillusionment with his colleagues' values[14] and because he knew West Point would not tolerate his dissidence.[13]

Jimi Hendrix – Before Jimi became the greatest guitar player of all time, he served as a paratrooper in the Army’s famous 101st Airborne. According to his superiors, James Marshall Hendrix wasn’t particularly suited for military life. One officer noted that he was more interested in “playing his guitar” than being a soldier. Jimi received an honorable discharge in 1962 after injuring himself in a parachute jump.

>Before joining Motörhead in 1984, Burston had been a corporal in the Army, serving in Germany and Northern Ireland with the 1st Battalion of the Gloucestershire Regiment, and had played in the bands Bastard and Warfare.
He gained a lot of respect from an older audience for his service. He had opportunities for special officer housing and could've just went around performing for the troops, but instead chose to go through boot camp like everyone else.
