Sergeant Hack was raised in a rural town in Kentucky and later moved in another town called Louisville. He joined the US Coast Guard in the year 1957 at an early age of seventeen and served for at least four years. In the year 1964, he enrolled in the Army and volunteered for Ranger Training. He prepared through different recruiters until he reached the Ranger Department at Fort Benning, GA. In the year 1965, he was placed on track for Ranger School Training. He was then assigned to serve as a Harbor Craft Boatswain at the Eglin Air Force Base, FL.
He was able to support twenty Ranger School training cycles for 21 days and a month for two years and still believing that his own start date would come. However, his desire to attend his dream took second place because of the needs of the Army. Sergeant Hack loyally served the Army by preparing young soldiers and officers for combat in Vietnam.
For about 24 months as support in the Ranger preparation, he still did not complete such and he never wore with him his most desired Ranger Tab. He seemed disappointed that he did not get his dream class schedule and did not get the chance to earn a Tab. Yet, he realized the importance of all his training duties and was proud to be in the brigade for almost two years.
Sergeant Hack later joined the First Infantry Division and served as a sergeant with the Big Red One in Lai Khe, Vietnam. In 1968, he was awarded the Purple Heart for his combat injuries that ended his military career. He suffered injuries in two different occasions.
He stayed the whole year in a certain hospital in United States that is designated for the Army and was put on hold for medical reasons for another three years. 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.
A special Corvette, a shirt and a custom jeep was among the items that he used for recruiting. Because of these, he was proclaimed as top recruiter in the years 1969 until 1973. A museum in Fort Campbell, Kentucky is used to display the jeep which he used.
After many years that followed his retirement, he served in Hudson Township Police Department. He was also assigned in the Summit County Sheriff Department. He ended his police career as a Chief of Police in Sebring, Ohio.
In the year 1985, he founded the US Wings together with his wife. This is a family operated company that is located in Boston Heights, Ohio. They supply bomber jackets and aviation gears to different branches of the armed forces.
Sergeant Hack was honored as a Lifetime Awardee of the 101st Division, the Veterans of the Foreign Wars of United State and also the Ohio Association of Chief of Police. In 2011, he was formally presented with several awards such as the Vietnam Service Award, the Purple Heart and an Army Recruiter Emblem.
