1984

He graduated from the Owego Free Academy in Owego, New York in 1984 and graduated magna cum laude with honors from Tulane University, earning his B.S.E. degree in civil engineering in 1988.

He was also a distinguished graduate from both Tulane's Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) program and from USMC Officer Candidates School.

1988

Hurley received his commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps from the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps at Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1988.

After graduation, he attended The Basic School at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, and later the Infantry Officers Course.

1989

Following aviation indoctrination at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida, he entered flight training in Texas in 1989; he was a distinguished graduate of the U.S. Navy Pilot Training program and was designated a Naval Aviator in August 1991.

Hurley then reported to VMFAT-101 at Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, California for initial F/A-18 Hornet training.

Upon completion of training, he was assigned to VMFA(AW)-225 where he made three overseas deployments to the Western Pacific.

While assigned to VMFA(AW)-225, he attended the United States Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Instructor Course, the Marine Division Tactics Course and the Aviation Safety Officers Course at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.

Over his four-and-a-half years with the "Vikings", he served as the aviation safety officer and the pilot training officer.

1997

Hurley was then selected to attend the United States Naval Test Pilot School at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland and began the course in January 1997.

After graduation in December 1997, he was assigned to the Naval Strike Aircraft Test Squadron (VX-23) as an F/A-18 project officer and test pilot.

At "Strike", he participated in a variety of flight testing, including flying qualities, ordnance separation and systems testing and became the first Marine pilot to fly the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet.

He was serving as the operations officer when selected for the astronaut program.

Hurley has logged over 5,500 hours in more than 25 types of aircraft.

2000

Selected as a pilot by NASA in July 2000, Hurley reported for training in August 2000.

Following the completion of two years of training and evaluation, he was assigned technical duties in the Astronaut Office which included Kennedy Operations Support as a "Cape Crusader," where he was the lead ASP (Astronaut Support Personnel) for Space Shuttle missions STS-107 and STS-121.

He also worked shuttle landing and rollout, served on the Columbia Reconstruction Team at Kennedy Space Center and in the Exploration Branch in support of the selection of the Orion crew exploration vehicle.

He also served as the NASA Director of Operations at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia.

2009

He piloted Space Shuttle missions STS-127 (July 2009) and STS-135 (July 2011), the final flight of the Space Shuttle program.

He launched into space for the third time as commander of Crew Dragon Demo-2, the first crewed spaceflight from American soil since STS-135 and became, together with Bob Behnken, the first astronaut in history launching aboard a commercial orbital spacecraft.

He was also the first Marine to fly the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet.

His call sign is "Chunky", and he was sometimes referred to by this name on the communication loops.

In July 2009, he was the pilot on STS-127, ISS Assembly Mission 2J/A, which delivered the Japanese-built Exposed Facility (JEM-EF) and the Experiment Logistics Module Exposed Section (ELM-ES) to the International Space Station.

The mission duration was 15 days, 16 hours, 45 minutes.

2011

In July 2011, Hurley returned to space on the final shuttle flight, STS-135 on the Space Shuttle Atlantis.

The mission delivered the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) Raffaello and a Lightweight Multi-Purpose Carrier (LMC) to the International Space Station and tested a system which investigated the potential of robotically refueling existing spacecraft.

STS-135 mission duration was 12 days, 18 hours, 27 minutes and 56 seconds.

After returning to Earth, he served as the Assistant Director, New Programs for the Flight Crew Operations Directorate (FCOD) at Johnson Space Center.

Subsequently, he started working with Boeing and SpaceX to train in their commercial crew vehicles, along with the other chosen astronauts Sunita Williams, Robert Behnken and Eric Boe.

2018

In August 2018, Hurley was assigned to SpaceX-DM2, the first test flight of the SpaceX Crew Dragon.

Following the in-flight abort test of Crew Dragon, Hurley was confirmed to be the flight's commander.

Hurley and fellow crewmember Bob Behnken were humorously compared in news and social media to the fictional brothers Bob and Doug McKenzie because of their friendship when they participated in the first commercial astronaut launch on SpaceX Crew Dragon Demo-2.

Crew Dragon undocked from the International Space Station on August 1, 2020, and successfully returned to Earth on August 2, 2020, after splashing down in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Pensacola, Florida.

On July 16, 2021, NASA announced that Hurley would be retiring from the agency after 21 years of service.
