Elvis was inducted into the ARMY. This is copy and pasted from www.history.army.mil. Elvis Aron Presley entered the United States Army at Memphis, Tennessee, on March 24, 1958, and then spent three days at the Fort Chaffee, Arkansas, Reception Station. He left active duty at Fort Dix, New Jersey, on March 5, 1960, and received his discharge from the Army Reserve on March 23, 1964. During his active military career Mr. Presley served as a member of two different armor battalions.

How did being a christian help Elvis Presley to get stronger?
Elvis was raised to believe in God/Jesus Christ and the importance of the second commandment "to love thy neighbor with all thy heart". Elvis, as a child, suffered firsthand concerning; his family was poor, his twin brother died at birth, his mother miscarried in her second pregnancy, his father spent time in jail (note: he made full restitution to all parties), going without options for food/clothes, etc. Throughout it all Elvis kept his faith in God and the reading of the bible, a practice Elvis kept throughout his life, along with going to Church where he loved to hear the choir sing made a great impact on him. At Elvis' height of popularity Elvis was drafted into the US Army (i.e. in December of 1957) and within a year had lost the love of his life...his Mother (Gladys Love Presley) on August 14, 1958. This event was the hardest of his life and his faith helped him to "go on". Elvis always questioned "why me", pertaining to his blessings of fame and wealth, and adhered to his faith of helping his fellow man. In later years Elvis' faith helped him when it came to going through his divorce, his health issues (mentally, physcially, emotionally, etc.), and unrelenting rumors about his abuse of prescribed medications. Elvis' three Grammy Awards were all in the Gospel category and Elvis sang Gospel Songs onstage throughout his life. He would stay up, even after doing two shows a day in Las Vegas, all hours harmonizing/singing Gospel songs. He also went to the Gospel Conventions (always staying backstage so as not to "show up" the Gospel acts). Without his faith there would not of been an "Elvis Presley" as we know him. Many lessons can be learned about Elvis, and life in general, by studying him and knowing the facts about him. Even after these (approximately) six decades I still find out "new facts" about Elvis and I am thankful for your question and for answers.com.
