The troop train arrived in Brooklyn at 9:00 a.m. Elvis held a press conference and once again expressed his hope that the fans won't forget him. He walked up the gangplank of the USS Randall 8 times, carrying his duffel bag, so the press could all get a good shot. During the crossing Elvis and Charlie became good friends. Charlie cheered him up.

RCA wanted Elvis to complete at least 4 vocals for tracks Felton Jarvis had already recorded. So with the approval of the Colonel, there was a mobile recording truck sent to Elvis' home in Palm Springs. Elvis however was busy with his new group Voice. After spending a lot of time with Voice for their demos, Elvis finally completed the overdubbing of one of his own songs: Sweet Angeline at 3:00 a.m.
