Elvis Receives Draft Notice
On January 19, 1953, shortly after his 18th birthday, Elvis did as all American men his age did and registered for the US Selective Service System. As the draft system required, young men in good health were expected to serve two years in the active duty military and then four years in the reserves.
Over the next four years Elvis became one of the nation’s biggest entertainers, releasing numerous hit songs and starring in popular films. Then on January 4, 1957 he went to the Kennedy Veterans Hospital in Memphis for his army preinduction physical. On his 22nd birthday the Memphis Draft Board announced at a press conference that Elvis would likely be drafted some time that year.
As the news of Elvis’ draft became public, he received offers from the Navy and Air Force. The Navy wanted to create an Elvis Presley Company and the Air Force wanted him to tour recruitment centers. But Elvis didn’t want any special treatment and turned down their offers. He wanted to serve his country like every other young man.
On December 20, 1957, Elvis received his draft notice from the Army. Elvis was ready to do his duty, but he was preparing to film his next movie King Creole. On Christmas Eve he sent a letter back asking for a brief deferment to film his movie, which was accepted. Then on March 24, Elvis arrived at the Memphis Draft Board to begin his military career.
