Ice-T – Infantry

Before he became famous for his rapping and acting skills, Ice-T served in the U.S. Army 25th Infantry Division. He was eventually deployed to Hawaii, where he served as a squad leader. With the money from his service, he was able to afford stereo equipment like turntables, speakers, and a mixer. He was able to hone his rap skills with his new stereo equipment but he had to serve in the army for four more years. After that, he left and pursued a career in music.
