I'm pretty sure Hawk earned his rank. Wouldn't have been picked for the Joe team assignment if he hadn't.

What if the Jugglers were in control from the beginning and they picked a guy like Hawk thinking he was some spoiled rich kid they could control but he ended up suprising them by being awesome.

Or maybe Hawk was a terrible officer and they chose him as a "fall guy" for military ops gone bad. He's more like a general's ho--a shield for pentagon flak!

Both good theories, and then Hawk proved 'em wrong?
They would work except for the few early appearances of Hawk. Remember Hawk was court martialed (which was when Flagg got his hands on him) for defending Stalker (who had tortured a terrorist to protect some kids from getting bombed) from one of the Jugglers.

Since we're talking about character ages, what about the Cobras? As Troynos pointed out, Destro and the Baroness are younger than Snake Eyes and we know Storm Shadow is roughly the same age as him. What about Cobra Commander, Major Bludd, the Crimson twins, Zartan and his siblings, the Dreadnoks? I imagine it would be nearly impossible to guess on someone like Firefly, though.

Firefly would be the same age as Snake-Eyes/Storm Shadow if not older. He appeared older when shows up in backstories at the Ninja Clan.
Cobra Commander would be the same age as Snake-Eyes. Major Bludd about the same. The Twins would be the same age as Destro. Zartan is the hardest to get. I think he'd be the same age as Snake-Eyes (judging by appearances at the Ninja Clan). So why weren't any of these guys in the service? Why wasn't CC in the service? His (younger?) brother wasn't (right?). So wouldn't one of them had been drafted?

Thankfully IDW and Resolute are rebooting these guys so they'll be starting over in their 30/40s again.

Destro had to be some sort of 70's pimp, so he's up there in age. Firefly is a great character but one of the least explored in the early marvel comics. We need to see more of him in the future.

I think Custer made Lt Colonel at like 26. This was after he was a Major General of the Volunteers during the Civil War at age 23. Those were the days. You were full grown and on your own at like 13.

Yes, and if you weren't married by 19 you were an old maid and the average lifespan was 40. Those were hard times.
