Pretty cool my grandmother loves Elvis Presley. She had his movies and all his songs. On cd and on two records.

I love the fact you clarified which one was Elvis
I wonder if he ever got “ordered” to do stuff like take pictures or sign stuff…
I cannot think of any other folks who were celebrities before they joined the military…. Jimmy Stewart, Pat Tillman, …
Did they tailor Elvis’ uniform?
Thought it was Norm Macdonald
Where in the FUCK is Elvis in this pic??? Is it this guy over here? Is it that Elvis-lookin fella over there? How, oh how, are we to know?!?!
And remember you didn’t know if you got a good pic until film was developed.
Well, let’s hear a story
Weird concept to think that Elvis Presley would be some one’s grandfather, but then again he passed away 45 years ago.. almost two generations ago….
My Dad served in the same base; I believe he transferred out a few weeks before Elvis arrived. Never stopped complaining about almost-but-not meeting him!
Did Elvis volunteer or was he drafted ?
I read that he partied a lot in an apartment off base.
Edit: Elvis, not your grandfather.
So what number repost is this?
My step father served with Elvis in Germany.
Dude this is so cool. I’d kill for a picture like this, would definitely be framed and presented for all to see
According to my mom, she was waiting at a bus stop after watching Elvis at the Louisiana Hayride when a limousine pulled up. Elvis ran up, kissed her on the lips, and then jumped into the limo and sped off.
I remember this post.
Wow! Just…..wow! BTW your grampa is very good- looking!
Is that a 1st AD patch?
I’m just imagining your grandpa when asked about his old service buddies back in the day and hes like yeah I’ve got some pictures and he pulls out this one and he was like oh yeah Elvis and I were pals back in the day
