A Short Story About Sergeant Hack

During the year 1957, he applied for the Coast Guard of the United States at a very young age of seventeen. There he served for about four years.

In 1965, he was put on track for his Ranger School Preparation. He was designated to serve at Eglin Air Force Base, FL as the Harbor Craft Boatswain.
In two years, for about 21 long days and one month, he supported around twenty preparation cycles for Ranger School. Though, he was still praying that he might start his own training as well. But because of the essential needs of the Army, his dream ended second place. He stayed in the Army and served loyally and began preparing the young soldiers to be deployed in Vietnam for battle.
In his 24 months designation as the support for Ranger preparation, he was not able to finish it and never wore his coveted Ranger Tab. He became disappointed because he was not able to get his desired schedule for his class. Also, he was not given the chance to have a Tab.

Upon his recovery, he was designated as the recruiter for the towns Akron, Cuyahoga Falls also in Tallmadge, Ohio. He got a recognition nationwide as the top recruiter.
His distinctive recruiting tools will include a shirt, a custom jeep and a custom painted Corvette. This made him the number one recruiter from the years 1969 to 1973. The jeep that he used is still on display at a museum in Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
