All this talk made me think of how old the other "senior" Joes are.
- Wild Bill (a W-3) would probably have anywhere between 10 to 16 years time in service at minimum (5 to 8 years of enlisted service + 5 to 8 years of service as a warrant officer).
- Flint would probably have almost just as much accumulated time-in-servce as Wild Bill, despite being a full rank lower. Off the top of my head, I think an enlisted SF operator would need, on average, about 10 to 12 years enlisted TIS (with at least 3 years in a Special Forces "A" Team) to get into the SF Warrant Officer ranks. Throw in the time needed for promotion from W-1 to W-2 and you're looking at something like 14 years.
- There's no way that Repeater could have 20 years of service and still be an E-6 (which is what it says on his original filecard). The Army has a strict "up or out" policy for enlisted soldiers, so if a soldier gets passed over for promotion twice he or she must retire.
