On his seventeenth birthday, Hoffman went into York with his friends and, after shopping and having lunch, went into a pub where he saw Rebecca Robinson, ten years to the day since he had last seen her. (PROSE: Defining Patterns)

Wanting to see the world, escape from his family and avoid a typical suburban life, Hoffman joined the British Army. He was reckless and disobedient and was sent to London to join UNIT. Before he left, his friends gave him a watch as a present. (PROSE: The Terror of the Darkness)

As a companion
On Lieutenant Hoffman's first day at UNIT, Colonel Emily Chaudhry informed him of a Code Blue and had him driver her to the site of the TARDIS, where they met the Sixth Doctor.

After the Doctor received a distress call, the TARDIS landed in World War II London. He captured and handcuffed Edward Grainger after he shot Colonel Chaudhry and, after they returned a Mim to his home, they were returned to their time. However, they went for one more journey in the TARDIS after they found records missing from the UNIT archive. (PROSE: Incongruous Details)

In September 1957, Hoffman and Chaudhry kept watch whilst the Doctor and Ronnie Tillyard erased the UNIT files on the Doctor. Afterwards, they were returned home. (PROSE: Defining Patterns)
