Kicked out of Nirvana and Soundgarden, he joins the Rangers. That wasn't enough so he joins Special Forces.

" In Everman’s cabin, I saw medal after medal, including the coveted Combat Infantryman Badge. “Sounds kind of Boy Scouty,” he said. “But it’s actually something cool.” I saw photos of Everman in fatigues on a warship (“an antipiracy operation in Asia”). A shot of Everman with Donald Rumsfeld. Another with Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal. And that’s when it hit me. Jason Everman had finally become a rock star."

Soundgarden one of the two biggest bands in the world? Not in the world I reside in. That is a bit of a stretch.

Sort of an interesting article from 2013. It doesn't seem like he was ever fully a part of either band though but unusual all the same especially when coupled with military life and an Ivy League degree.

I thought for sure I was gonna get a story about a mystery member of Led Zeppelin and the Beatles.
