[b]Bio:[/b] Hal was born in Kentucky to agricultural experts, as his father used to say. Hal and the rest of the world called them farmers. Though while Hal helped around the farm with the cattle and plowing when he could, his first job was in town as a paper boy. Most people felt the rough albeit mundane life suited him. But Hal disagreed. He felt an idealistic notion of changing the world in a more radical fashion. Perhaps it was his interest in history, or perhaps it was his long line of military ancestors. But he signed up for the service as soon as he could. 

Hal spent the next year in basic training, and once he completed it, he was sent to Fort Braxton for another 7 months before he was sent to battle insurrectionists in South America. He arrived there and essentially hit the ground running, because his transport chopper was shot down en route. He survived with a jump, and aided a fellow injured soldier to their rendezvous point. Once he arrived, he was already hailed as capable, receiving a certain amount of respect most newfish didn't acquire so quickly. 

He did not disappoint. 

The next six years, he lived, bled, and killed with the best of them. He rose to corporal, and then sergeant. Hal was never told what prompted him to get called for the Ark (other than a vague reference to his exemplary military record), but his call to fame was causing a 10 man team to surrender with naught but his sidearm, having flanked them and ordering his men to provide cover fire at just the correct time. After six years, he was then given leave and went home to visit his family. 

It was during these 9 months of home life that he was informed of the next impending Devastator attack, and the Ark project. Five days later, he received the call for military personnel to join the venture. At first, he refused. If the Devastator threat was approaching once more, he felt duty bound to fight against the alien threat. However it was by his father's wishes that he accepted the duty.
