For the record, Elvis had the camp P.I.O. issue a denial that he and Anita would marry, then, in a grand finale to his eight weeks of basic training, loped off to the Fort Hood, Texas bivouac area for a hard week of marching and infantry maneuvers-and nights in a pup tent instead of evening passes...
