Elvis Presley, King of Rock 'n Roll, begins his 2 year army hitch at Camp Chaffee, Arkansas. No bands. No screaming fans as he gets his GI Issue. Young American men drafted into the US Army and among them wearing a plaid suit jacket is Elvis Presley. MCUS - Elvis standing bare chest with his right arm stretched out and another soldier taking his measurement on the length of his sleeve. MCUS - Looks like a army tailor putting a army jacket on Elvis. CUS - Elvis looks at the camera and gives a huge smile (boy he was cute)
