Did you know Elvis Presley was drafted into the US Army? It was the height of his fame, in 1957, and the day he began serving was dubbed “Black Monday” by the media.
Various branches of the armed services actually offered him cushy jobs. The Navy suggested creating an “Elvis Presley company” comprised of his friends from Memphis, and the Air Force wanted to use him as a recruiting model rather than sending him into combat, according to Military. The Army offered to have him only play concerts for the troops.
Presley chose to serve. He was posted in Frankfurt, Germany first as a bus driver for a captain, then in a scout platoon where he served well and rose to sergeant.
