Elvis received his full Sergeant stripes and threw a party to celebrate. This story is open to question. Did Elvis really achieve full Sergeant stripes or was it an army PR stunt? Army documents show that he left the army as Sergeant (E-5).

In an interview with Armed Forces Radio around this time, Elvis reflected upon his army experience. "People were expecting me to mess up, to goof up," he said. "They thought I couldn't take it, and I was determined to go to any limits to prove otherwise." Of his return to making records, he comments, "I think it would be a bad mistake if I had somebody else telling me what to record and how to record it, because I work strictly on instinct and impulse. . . . I choose songs with the public in mind. I try to visualize it as though I'm buying the record myself."
