The following biography was written by USAF Shooting Team

Arnold Vitabro served ten years in the US Marine Corps before transferring to the Air Force. In his words, "During the years of 1961 and most of 1963 I was a member of the United States Marine Corps Pistol Team and was an established 2650 "Bullseye" shooter for the Marine Corps. Whenever we encountered the Air Force Team at Matches around the Country we were very much impressed by the skill and professionalism demonstrated by the Air Force Pistol Shooters at the Competition. When I observed this professionalism I wanted to become a part of it. During November of 1963 I completed my tenth year in the Marine Corps and decided to join the Air Force."
