Richard Mills was born in Boston, Massachusetts and made several places home before finding his way to Pageland 32 years ago. After graduating from South Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte in 1962, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and completed his basic training at Great Lakes Naval Training Center in Chicago.
Upon graduation from basic training, Mills received orders to the U.S. Naval Air Test Center in Maryland and was assigned to the Crash Crew. He was trained in sea-air rescue (SAR) while there and also on board the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Saratoga.
