The character was written out of the series by being promoted to Lieutenant General and replacing General West who commanded the Stargate Project in the original movie Stargate, although he made a guest appearance on an episode in Season 8.

I question the accuracy of this paragraph. It was established in the first episode of the show that Hammond had replaced West then. The position he took at the beginning of season 8 was a new position which he was apparently the first person to hold. Redfarmer 03:19, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

He took over the job seeing it as an easy way to spend his year tell retirement. So much for retirement.

Otherwise, what about Hammond as the V.P.? We know John Jumper, least ought to still be the head of the Air Force. Personally i'd rather see Hammond as the V.P.

[edit] Season 9 Hammond

I don't know what the Stargate community's position on canon is, but according to Gateworld.com, Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi stated in their forums that "Hammond retired and is currently serving as an advisor to President Hayes.". I don't know if this can be incorporated per the dictates of ... well ... how things are done here; but here you go. — THOR ^=/\= 16:00, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

By the dictates of what can be done here, you could say that on Gateworld.com, executive producer Joseph Mallozzi stated in their forums that "Hammond retired and is currently serving as an advisor to President Hayes." Just a thought. -- Supermorff 11:51, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Link Glitch

Just fyi, the link for 1969 is a link to the actual year, not the episode, the link should be this: 1969

Couldn't you do that? Kashami 17:18, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Succession

Shouldn't there be a mention in here somewhere about Major General Bauer? Although his tenure was brief, he was Hammond's successor for the episode Chain Reaction.—Preceding unsigned comment added by DigiFluid (talk • contribs)

As far as I know, there has been no references to Jack being made Head of Homeworld Security in the show, just that he's now working there, so Hammond would still be Head. I'm going to delete the paragraph where it says this until someone can citate otherwise.

Hammond has been shown in civilian clothes, which suggests he no longer holds a position in the Air Force. It's possible Head of Homeworld Security has just become a civilian position, but it certainly used to be military. --Tango (talk) 16:51, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia Question

The last trivia item: "Wears an Omega SA Seamaster Professional watch; full-size chronometer version. The same watch as worn by James Bond in all movies from Goldeneye to Die Another Day." is there any source for this?

[edit] S?

Where did the George S. Hammond come from? Has it ever been stated in the show? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jedi Master Bra'tac (talk • contribs) 13:49, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
