Bill McMillen was a Captain in the Marine Corps running the Far Eastern Division Matches in Okinawa when I earned my first "leg" on Distinguished with the rifle (M1) in 1965. He retired as a full colonel, having commanded the Marine Corps Advanced Marksmanship Unit at Quantico. Quite an accomplishment for a limited duty officer, who had to stand guard with an M1 when he first joined the Marine Corps, because he hadn't qualified with the pistol. One of the few to win Olympic gold medals in two disciplines, Rapid Fire Pistol and Standard Pistol. Triple distinguished.
