    Found this for you on a answer site....

    Elvis was younger than I was and I was too young to enter the war when it began in 1939 as a combatant, and I was still too young when it ended in 1945. It was mid-1952 before I was old enough to become a soldier at the youngest age one could enlist in the regular army.

    Elvis was born three days before I was in January of 1935, making him not quite five when hostilities began and a mere lad in his tenth year when it concluded.

    Elvis served in peacetime. December 20, 1957, he wa snotified of his draft,however, due to filming committments the Memphis Draft Board granted him a stay so he could comclude his contractual obligations.

    On March 24, 1958, he became a private, regimental number, 53310761, trained at Fort Hood, Texas on September 17, 1958, an was then sent to Friedberg, Germany with the 3rd Armoured Division, where he served from October 1, 1958 until March 2, 1960.

    Presley bought an extra set of fatigues for everyone in his outfit, donated his Army pay to charity, and bought TV sets for all the men on the base.

    He was honourably discharged with the rank of Staff Sergeant

    I never joke and mean everything I say. I am the driest man on earth. Nope, not one "just joking/kidding" comment has ever came out of my mouth. And no my butt doesn't hurt. Does yours?

    So Elvis chose to serve, even when he wasn't needed. Respect to him.

    Nope. I never have sarcastic or joking comments come out of my mouth either

    And yes I will go and get something in 9mm, eventually an SP89.

    I have no idea. Hopefully a private seller where I can trade for it instead of buying it outright.

    Why?
    Assault is a type of behavior, not a type of hardware.

    A shitty round. My CCW round is either 45ACP or 40S&W.
    When I was in the Persian Gulf, I saw the efffects of the 9mm on others, took many shots to subdue the situation.
