n2qhvRMLI posted:George was a Corporal in the United States Army, he was a clerk in Germany and one of his duties was to muster out those members of the service who were coming to the end of their enlistment. He would check their paperwork, give them their discharge papers and finally, their separation pay. One day a young Private appeared before George to be mustered out. As a good clerk, George examined each piece of the Private’s paperwork. Finding everything in order he issued the soldier his discharge papers and last pay check. Upon every detail being completed, George looked the man in the eye and said, ”Have a great life Private Presley!” Elvis replied, “And to you too Corporal!”
I don't want to split hairs here, but Elvis was a Sergeant when he got out... I think he was mustered out of Fort Dix. I used to serve in the same Brigade Elvis had served in during the 50s (long after he'd passed on), so we were always hearing stories about the man.
RIP George...
