It seems Hendrix didn't use a "gay ruse" to get him out of the service
It was too much playing guitar and with other things that got him booted.
This is some interesting reading:

"AUGUST 3--Days before Private James Marshall Hendrix (Jimi to his friends) was officially drummed out of the military, Army brass delivered withering assessments of the 19-year-old soldier. Hendrix, Captain Gilbert Batchman reported, slept on the job, had little regard for regulations, and was once "apprehended masturbating" in the latrine."

2. lol
wow... there goes the whole story of his 'back injury' that all his bios give as the reason.

or maybe he got the back injury while he was 'apprehended masturbating' or somethin like that.

he still rocks though.
