I also think it's possible that he was in Nam considering the following statement: Flint "personally led a half dozen rescue missions in hostile terriorties that for obvious reasons were never publicized let alone admitted to." So he's obviously been in combat and he's obvisously led covert/clandestine operations (perhaps in Laos or Cambodia) and he's had tons of training. Sounds like the perfect SOG One-Zero to me. Maybe after college he went to fight the war in Vietnam because he felt it was important and he wasn't feeling challenged in academia, which may explain why he didn't become an officer. Maybe he wanted to experience something outside of his class and level of education. To fight alongside the common GI. To be a real Joe.
A soldier can move from Aviation to SF, but not from SF to Aviation. Just like his original rank of E-6, Hama just didn't do his research and understand how this process worked. What's possible is that he went into the Army under a Flight Contract and was sent to Flight Warrant Officer's School upon successful completion of his basic training. Given his level of education and fitness, a slot like that is not unheard of. He then went through Flight Warrant Officer School, and then applied for SF. So he could have been a Junior Warrant Officer when he went through selection.
