That's what hit me immediately.
He's awfully long in the tooth to be a captain, isn't he?

I was a 43 year old SSgt. Of course I had an 18 year break in service. The age vs rank thing is very different in today's military. So is the interoperation of the various services. Lots of JTF stuff these days. It was a culture shock.
Prayers up for the CAPT.

At age 41? I pinned on LtCol six days before my 37th birthday. Well, he is a Dem. You know how time consuming all that charity work can be in his spare time.

"At age 41? I pinned on LtCol six days before my 37th birthday." He's a National Guard JAG...neither of which is conducive to rapid promotion. He's swimming in a really small pond and essentially somebody has to retire or die for a slot to open up at the next higher grade.

1) Were you NG or regular military?
2) My cousin retired, as a Captain (O3), after 30 years honorable service in USMC. Think about it for a bit ...

At age 41? I pinned on LtCol six days before my 37th birthday.I was a 37 year old 1LT. Want to talk about my 16 years of honorable enlisted and warrant officer service before knocking age/rank? Some of us go through WOC and OCS and not the candy-ass ROTC for commission.

My dad did LTC at 28. Of course, he was Forward Artillery (105 welded to the bed of ha-f-tracks) under Patton. Different times.

“At age 41? I pinned on LtCol six days before my 37th birthday.”
Promotions in the Guard/Reserves are complicated.
I can remember a guy who was a Captain in his early forties and a little over six years later was wearing eagles and being talked about for flag rank.
