Elvis' First Sergeant

A few years ago, while waiting for a doctor's appointment, I happened to chat with a older gentleman who was a retired soldier. When he mentioned that he'd served in Germany in the late 50s. I asked him if he'd ever crossed paths with Elvis Presley. He said, no, but he'd served with Elvis' First Sergeant. So I picked up a couple of good stories.

Elvis' company had a several old fashioned push lawn mowers- until shortly after Elvis' arrived- then some 'anonymous benefactor' got the unit modern power mowers- so all the guys on casual detail thopught Elvis was the greatest. In all the guys in the unit thought Elvis was great, *except* the *mail* *clerk*, who did *not* appreciate that his workload more than *quadrupled* when Elvis showed up.
