Marvin Gaye
Marvin Gaye and the military just didn’t mix. During 11th grade after living in an extremely unsettled home due to his love of secular music, Gaye dropped out of school and joined the Air Force. This decision didn’t give him the outcome he expected, as he wasn’t able to land his job as an airplane pilot and was instead stuck peeling potatoes and doing other mundane tasks. Gaye also had a huge issue with authority figures in the military and wasn’t able to take orders from them. To get out, he faked a mental illness and was honorably discharged. He soon went on to become a Motown legend.
