Billy enlisted in the Marine Corp in 1966 and completed his tour of duty in Vietnam in 1968. He was united in marriage to Connie Russell Bain in 1969. They were blessed with three beautiful daughters; Marion Bain Bishop (Chris), Paige Bain Stricklin (Craig), and Kelley Bain Surratt (Brandon).

Billy worked in the capacity of Law Enforcement for several years locally, then worked for the Tennessee Department of Corrections in Clifton, Tennessee. He was a Corporal and Drill Instructor for a large number of inmates. This job afforded him the opportunity to become an FBI, Certified Firearms Instructor. This allowed him to train new officers in Firearms safety and accuracy. He enjoyed this position until he retired from TDOC in 2008.
