Brave Celebrities Who Served Their Country In The Army
Rock Hudson – US Navy
Rock Hudson entered the US Navy in 1944, just after he had finished high school. We don’t know if he did it to boost his earnings or if it was an intentional act, but in any case, he obtained his training at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station.
Soon afterward, he embarked on the military transport ship Lew Wallace, where he was eventually sent to the Philippines serving as an aircraft mechanic. He was released in 1946 when he had already returned to the US. It was only after that that he chose to take up acting!
