Well, maybe he was enlisted. Look at this link.

Accused Army killer attended Barstow College, records show

The soldier accused of killing 13 people and wounding 30 others at Fort Hood, Texas, on Thursday attended Barstow Community College from spring 1989 to spring 1990, college records show.
Maj. Nidal M. Hasan was a straight-A student and on the dean’s list at the college, said Maureen Stokes, the public information officer at the school.

He took six classes and earned 19 credit hours. His classes - all basic courses - were English, history, sociology, math, political science and biology.

Hasan’s official transcript indicates he was an enlisted man, an E-3, at Fort Irwin at the time but John Wagstaffe, public affairs officer at the Fort, said Army records for Hasan only go back to 1995.

“Our records indicate that he was not at Fort Irwin,” Wagstaffe said, “but we are still checking other possibilities.”

Stokes said the college records show that Hasan attended the classes at the college’s satellite campus on the Fort. She said the records also show he was an undergrad and was undeclared for a major.

Otherwise, Stokes said, “Our records are pretty sterile and generic.”

Thanks -- that's what I suspected.

Here we go again, though, with the Army record clown-show:

Hasan’s official transcript indicates he was an enlisted man, an E-3, at Fort Irwin at the time but John Wagstaffe, public affairs officer at the Fort, said Army records for Hasan only go back to 1995.

“Our records indicate that he was not at Fort Irwin,” Wagstaffe said, “but we are still checking other possibilities.”

And the college gets its very appropriate snark in:

Otherwise, Stokes said, “Our records are pretty sterile and generic.”

Translation: no need for a PC cover-up on the part of the college. I'm not sure we can say the same for the Army at this point.
