The Korean War armistice took place in 1953. Elvis wasn't conscripted until
1958. He served in the Army for two years, most of which was with an armored
division in Germany.

So Jill is on something for believing that Elvis took part in the Korean
War, and Pussy is batshit demented for believing that Elvis wasn't born
until after the Korean War was over.

There's a droll comparison to be made: Elvis left the service the same year
that Pussy joined! Although Elvis served only two years, he left with the
rank of sergeant, a paygrade of E-5. Pussy served twice as many years, but
never managed to reach E-4.
