Armored veteran Ellis deploys to Korea after mountain training
After Armored Basic training Ellis joined cadre training for Tank crewmen and earned an Officers Candidate School commission.

They married in the Post Chapel and honeymooned in Hagerstown with Ells's mother. Training emphasized mountain climbing, earning him the nickname mountain goat. In August 1948 he was sent to Korea, delaying letters home until their daughter Barbara Jean was born in Colorado Springs the following January.
