Hamish enlisted into the NZ defence force in 1997 as an infantry soldier posting to 2/1 RNZIR. Hamish deployed twice to East Timor as an infantry soldier. During this deployment in Timor he encountered the NZ SAS which led to him attempting and completing SAS selection and training cycle and was badged in 2003. In 2004 he deployed to Afghanistan and during this rotation he was there on the day and witnessed when Willie Apiata VC displayed acts of gallantry which led to be long awarded the Victoria Cross.

During one rotation he was part of the famous battles in Gizab and Tizak both very successful SASR operations.
