On March 24, 1958, Elvis Presley was inducted into the U.S.
Army, starting his day as the King of Rock and Roll, but
ending it as a lowly buck private in the United States Army.

When Elvis Presley turned 18 on January 8, 1953, he fulfilled
his patriotic duty and legal obligation to register his name
with the Selective Service System, thereby making himself
eligible for the draft.
