Breaking up with Jennifer Aniston has brought out John Mayer’s macho side!
The crooner recently spent the day with Marines at Air Station New River and Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, N.C.
“Believe me when I say that the day was life-changing,” John said of his visit to the base, which included shooting a machine gun, sparring with marines trained in the martial art of Krav Maga and visiting wounded Iraq veterans.
“It was an awesome day,” Staff Sgt. Angela Mink tells OK!. “I think John would make a good marine — but I wouldn’t want him to give up the blues guitar!”
We agree, stick to the music, John!

When Lance Corporal Samuel Petersen went off to join his fellow Marines in Iraq, there was no way the Colorado native could have foreseen that he’d be hobknobbing with some of Hollywood’s biggest A-listers. But that’s exactly what happened.
Last month, in a photo that ran exclusively here on OKmagazine.com, silver screen queen Angelina Jolie popped by to get a picture with Samuel and the other troops. And, today, the 22-year-old got the chance to meet Walker, Texas Ranger himself — Chuck Norris!
“He thought it was so cool to be able to meet Angelina and now Chuck," Samuel’s mother, Sue, explains to OK!. "I think it really boosts their morale and takes their mind off what they’re doing.”
Chuck, who likes to come out and visit with the troops once a year and has been made an honorary Marine, regaled the soldiers with a story about him and Bruce Lee.
