Thatās right! Elvis Presley, the king of rock ānā roll, was also a military man! Like many others, he was drafted back in December 1957 and entered into the U.S. Army in March 1958. Interestingly enough, all this happened two years after his hits āHound Dogā and āHeartbreak Hotelā turned the unknown boy into an epic superstar.
“The army can do anything it wants with me,” Presley said. “Millions of other guys have been drafted, and I don’t want to be different from anyone else.” When enlisted, Presley deployed to the 1st Medium Tank Battalion in Friedberg, Germany. In 1960, Presley was honorably discharged. Hereās a fun fact: it was during this time that he met his future wife, Priscilla Beaulieu!
