Looking Back
Before They Were Stars, These Celebrities Earned Stripes—in the Service
The road to fame as an actor, politician or musician is not one specific, prepaved path. Still, it seems surprising to go from something as serious and life changing as the armed services to an industry where you still may slip on a uniform every day, but only to play pretend. You might be surprised by just how many big names in entertainment and public life were military men first, though. Take a look through Snakkle’s gallery and see if you recognize the men inside these uniforms. By Danielle Turchiano

Elvis Presley, a.k.a. The King, in the Army; Elvis Presley—1970
Elvis had already broken out into the music scene when he was inducted as a private in the U.S. Army—so much so that he was met by hundreds of fans and photographers as he entered the base. The Army, which is where he met his eventual wife Priscilla, allowed him (in theory) to be just one of the regular guys again for a short time. His songs may have been topping the charts outside, but in his ranks, he still had to answer to his commander and partake in exercises like everyone else.
