His findings stated, \u201cFrom 1943 to the end of 2012 there were only TWELVE (12) men with the last name &#8220;MILLS&#8221; who graduated from BUD\/S. NONE of them show either a first name or middle name EMMETT. Only ONE (1) of those men was an officer at all. That one man was an ENSIGN in BUD\/S and only reached LIEUTENANT as a final rank before leaving the Teams. His name is\/was ENS\/LT ALDEN MORRIS MILLS.<\/p>\n<p>The Senior Warden of the lodge was contacted regarding the findings of the SEAL BUD\/S database search. There was no response.<\/p>\n<p>After contacting the UDT\/SEAL archives, the Naval Special Warfare Center and checking the UDT\/SEAL database we found that there is NO record of Emmett Mills ever completing BUD\/S Training or being assigned to a SEAL Team.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Emmett Mills Jr. retired after serving from Dec 1965 to Sep 1972.
