As founder of the Holloway Plan, he was responsible for creating the modern Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps. He was the father of four-star admiral and chief of naval operations James L. Holloway III. As of 2009, they are the only father and son to both serve as four-star admirals in the United States Navy while on active duty, as opposed to being promoted to that rank posthumously or at retirement.[citation needed]
