Intending to become a journalist, Hastie began a Bachelor of Arts in History, Politics and Philosophy at the Kensington Campus of University of New South Wales in 2001.

In 2007, Hastie completed the George Washington University Elliott School of International Affairs U.S. Foreign Policy Summer Program in Washington, D.C.

His first posting was to the 2nd Cavalry Regiment of the Royal Australian Armoured Corps, based in Palmerston, Northern Territory in 2007.

2008

Hastie took command of a troop of Australian Light Armoured Vehicles in 2008.

2009

He then led the troop on operations in Afghanistan as part of Mentoring Task Force Two, at the start of the fighting season in May 2009, concluding in February 2010.

2010

On returning to Australia, Hastie moved to Perth to prepare for the "brutal" Selection course for the Special Air Service Regiment, which ran between July and August 2010.

Of the 130 soldiers who began the course, Hastie was one of 30 who completed it.

After a further 16-month Reinforcement Cycle, he was formally accepted into the Regiment, being assigned to 1 Squadron, SASR.

2012

He first deployed with the unit in May 2012 to Port Moresby, supporting the Papua New Guinea Defence Force for that nation's general election.

Then, from February to July 2013, he deployed to Afghanistan as a troop commander with Special Operations Task Group Rotation XIX, largely targeting Taliban forces in partnership with other Afghan forces.

On this third deployment, Hastie had command of Special Forces during a battle in Zabul; and it was here a member of the troop severed the hands of deceased Taliban soldiers, ostensibly to conduct biometric testing.

Regardless, Hastie ordered this to cease, and the incident was reported to ADF command.

An inquiry later found troops were trained in biometrics to identify combatants, which included the collection of body parts, though there was no explicit instruction to do so.

At the conclusion of the inquiry, both soldier and troop commander were cleared of wrongdoing.
