Gene Roddenberry
He must have had something in his heart for the air from a young age. In 1942, after Gene Roddenberry had graduated from Angeles City College, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force’s 394th Bomb Squadron. Later in life he would take to the skies again, but far far beyond when he wrote Star Trek.
Jesse Ventura
Some people like to hate on wrestling like “WWE” and “WWF”, claiming that it’s fake. Well, I guess it is. But when it comes to the famous wrestler, Jesse Ventura he’s as real as they come. Ventura drafted into the U.S. Navy and went on to complete the most difficult training to become a respected U.S. Navy SEAL. During the Vietnam War, he served in the Philippines… or at least that’s what he says.
