If I make a crack about your age it's okay, because I'm alomst elderly myself. I got back in after a 15-20 year break in service, and now I think I'm the Army's oldest 1LT!
"and now I think I'm the Army's oldest 1LT!"
LOL
No, I just read in either the VFW or Legion magazine about an old warbird who flew Hueys in VN and is flying Blackhawks now. Him and his cronies are all in their 60s.
And another guy I just read about is either 70 or pushing it. Last month's issue.
You are not alone!!
You might be oldest, but I had over 8 years time in grade as a 1LT, and not nearly enough break in service to account for that. It had to do with the differences between promotions for those on extended active duty and people in the reserve and guard. I put on the silver bar in June of '75, put on the rail road tracks in '84, but back dated to early '83. I was a reservist and guardsman from Dec '75 on, with a break in active reserve from mid '78 to November of '82.
