There appears to be a prolonged gap in his military service, which makes the story even more bizarre. Here’s is what they’ve released so far:
1988-93: Active Duty USMC
1993-96: Member, National Guard in at least two different states; left ArNG in 1996
No further mention of military service until 2012, when he was commissioned as a USCG officer. By that time, he had been out of the military for 16 years, and was 41 or 42 at the time he pinned on those gold bars. While the services have special, direct-commission programs for individuals with special skills (notably doctors and lawyers), this guy was an acquisition officer—not exactly in short supply.
What made Hasson so attractive as an officer candidate at the ripe old age of 41, with career skills that appear to be anything but exceptional.
Also, I have found no mention of what Hasson was doing to support himself between 1996-2012. You’d think the feds would be leaking some of his white supremacist activities from that period, along with how he was supporting himself.
Still lots of unanswered questions about this guy...
