WASHINGTON — Military officials say Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the suspected shooter at Fort Hood, was a psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for six years before being transferred to the Texas base in July.
They said he received a poor performance evaluation while at Walter Reed. The Virginia-born soldier is single with no children. He is 39 years old.
He is a graduate of Virginia Tech, where he was a member of the ROTC and earned a bachelor's degree in biochemistry in 1997. At Walter Reed, he did an internship, residency and a fellowship.

Is there something in the water down there in Blacksburg?
If a candidate for president says he will close all Mosques , burn them to the ground, and then deport all Muslims here on Visa's, hes got my vote.
I guess he missed their football victory tonight.
With thinking like that, maybe you should become a Muslim.
Not in the water, I think. In a book - Koran, Quraan, however you spell it.
Well, it’s a serious question-—actually, I raised this yesterday when I heard VA Tech: what is their connection? Seems odd they used the same semi-auto pistols, too.
Another reason for me to continue loathing Va. Tech.
I’m a 1999 graduate from Tech (Master’s), and it’s a big stretch connecting the two incidents. I’d only say that this Hasan dude went there because of Tech’s friendly admissions policies toward Middle Eastern types.
There is obviously some jihad being taught in the Virginia Tech campus area. What are the odds that two muslims coming from the same college would do the same thing?
I don’t think many people realize that the korean Seung-Hui Cho was muslim.
“There is obviously some jihad being taught in the Virginia Tech campus area. “
Cho wasn’t a Muslim.
Really? Then why did he have “Ismail’s Axe” on his arm?
Ismail is the traditional islamic spelling of Abraham’s son. Ismail is also the son that went off to eventually form Islam from his offspring.
According to PC litany & the multicultural crowd he is American as apple pie.

Mine too.
“Then why did he have “Ismail’s Axe” on his arm?”
That’s the proof that he was a Muslim? Sheesh......
He didn’t graduate from college until 11 years after he completed high school. Why is no one asking what he was doing during that time?
Maybe it was nine but nonetheless........
When did he enter the US Army to receive his medical education - and how long does that education take, in the military?
Just in the last several years: shootings, a beheading, murder of students near the school, and breeding scum like this latest islamic radical terrorist murderer of unarmed (which, especially ON a military base, they should NOT have been) Americans.
VT MUST be cursed.
Medical school is four years in length no matter where you go. Psychiatric training takes one year of internship and three years of residency after medical school.
However, if the numbers posted last night were correct, he would have graduated high school in 1988 but not from college until 1997. That is the time I am the most suspicious of.
Yes, it it true that some people don't go directly from high school to college or that they take longer to complete a college degree than four years. However, while it is not unheard of, it would be a little bit out of the norm for someone who became a physician.
I would like to know what happened from the time he graduated from high school until completing his undergraduate degree nine years later.
Sorry, the numbers I posted for his post graduate medical education were incorrect. They should have been internahip from 2001-2002, residency 2002-2005, fellowship 2005-2006. But the question about his undergraduate education still remains for me.
Maybe we can blame all the crime in Atlanta on Georgia Tech.
VT has a large % of international students like the ones who committed some of the actions. If two people were murdered in Atlanta or Boston or Miami, no one would even notice.
Therefore, he served at WRAMC for awhile years in a nontraining status before his transfer.

Maybe he was travelling -- don't young college students do that all the time -- personally, I would just love to see this doctor's passport for the years you so correctly are suspiciously questioning. Maybe he spent that time visiting museums in Rome?
And Fox is reporting that this mutt’s education was bought and paid for by........you guessed it.......the American taxpayer!!! Great country we live in.
If a shooter had Nazi posters in his house, and read Mein Kampf the motive would be all over the news.
But when a shooter belongs to an organization whose teachings include murdering non-believers, the media deliberately hide the motive and say that they just can’t figure out why such a nice boy would ever do such a thing.
Mass deportations.
This link yesterday said Hasan had earned a degree from the Damascus University medical school in 1990. The site has since scrubbed the reference to Damascus. Hasan would have been only 20 years in 1990.
