Did Elvis have that many stripes that early in his army career? I didn't think so. I thought he was just a private at that time.
Just asking.

These are not actual rank stripes, he merely wears the armband of a "Corporal of the Guard":
Elvis, who had been in ROTC in high school, was made an acting squad leader, as were Mansfield and another Tennessean from the bus, William Norvell, Elvis’ next-door cot-mate whom he had nicknamed Nervous. As acting squad leaders, they were also corporals of the guard, in charge of the men pulling guard duty. They wore armbands and saw that orders were carried out.
