A 19 year-old Jimi Hendrix jams with a friend in 1962. Choosing military service over two years in prison after being arrested in a stolen car, Hendrix was stationed with the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell Kentucky in 1961.

He was awarded an honourable discharge after a year in service on the grounds of ‘unsuitability’.
