Description: After nine days at sea, the USS Randall docked at Bremerhaven, in Germany, on October 1st, 1958. It was welcomed by hordes of fans and reporters waiting for its most famous passenger, Elvis Presley. Once on land, Elvis took the train to Friedberg, then reported to Ray Kaserne where he would spend the rest of his military service. This day was somewhat similar to his induction day in Memphis in March. The next day, the army had arranged a press conference for about 150 journalists. Afterwards, followed by the press, he collected his new uniform and equipment at the distribution room and moved into his quarters for about four days until he got the authorization to live off base with his father and grandmother.
