I was curious if anybody knows how a HFO member is determined. The qualifications to become a HFO team member. Early in the Series, the Governor pats himself on the back often about hiring Steve McGarrett to lead HFO. I wonder how joining the elite unit is possible. Is there a written exam and some questions in front of a small board? I wonder if the Governor has any input on who the men or women candidates could be. I guess there would be an "acclimation process" as the person could be qualified but not mesh with McG or Danno. Later, in the Series, McGarrett just asks Carew to be a member. They were extremely thin on manpower at that time. Duke works his way from HPD to HFO. Anybody have an answer?
