In 1951 – 1953 he joined the United States Air Force and later worked full time at the Air National Guard and retired after 39 years of dedicated service to his country. Hoot volunteered at the VA Hospital for over 12 years and would generally spend his birthdays (his birthday was on Veterans Day, November 11, 1929) putting up flags around the city, then attending the community Veterans Day program, enjoying the American Legion stew and cake luncheon, and volunteering at the VA service of remembrance.
