Many people may not know about his time in the U.S. Army.
He is the son of an Air Force General and an accomplished
Golden Gloves boxer. He graduated from Pomona College
with a B.S. degree and then became a Rhodes Scholar from
Oxford University.
He joined the U.S. Army at the prompting of his father. After
graduating from Officer Candidate School he attended and
graduated from both Army Airborne and Ranger training in
the top of each class. He was selected for U. S. Army Special
Forces Training but refused so that he could attend pilot
training where he earned his wings and became an
accomplished U.S. Army helicopter (gun ship) pilot, achieving
the rank of Captain.
He was about to be promoted to the rank of Major and
appointed to teach at West Point when he resigned his
commission from the Army to go into music and acting. You
can tell in this video that his time in the military means a lot
to him.
