Jack W. Hill
Jack Warner Hill (1928–1987) was a member of the United States Marine Corps who bears the distinction of holding Marine Corps enlisted service number one million (1,000,000).〔National Personnel Records Center, Military Operations Branch, "Service number index and registry of retired, deceased, and discharged military personnel" (2007)〕 Hill served a total of two enlistments in the Marine Corps, one during World War II and the other briefly before the outbreak of the Korean War. After his military service, Hill lived a normal and uneventful life; he was killed in an automobile accident in the year 1987.〔United States Department of Veterans Affairs, Freedom of Information Act Inquiry (May 2010)〕
==First Induction and Enlistment Scandal==
Hill was issued his number upon induction into the Marine Corps on July 8, 1944, at the height of World War II and during a time period when the United States Marine Corps was heavily engaged in several bloody battles in the Pacific Ocean. The issuance of the one millionth Marine Corps service number was a sensation in the media and was reported by several major newspapers, including ''The New York Times''.〔"One Millionth Marine Enlisted", ''The New York Times'', July 10, 1944〕
Hill's induction into the Marines later became something of a scandal as it was revealed that the induction board which had drafted him had done so without a check into his background, based on verbal statements only from Hill and his parents. It was then discovered that Hill had made false statements to the induction board and was only sixteen at the time he was drafted. The Marine Corps quietly discharged him in December 1944 after only five months of service.〔"Selective Service Rolls", 1944, United States Selective Service System〕
