Article says he has 15 1/2 years of service, medical retirement?
Classic horny behavior.
I'd imagine so, unless it just means retired as in "got out".
Im trying to figure out how he picked up O5 in 12 years.
Maybe he was a reservist/NG guy? Even then, that seems very quick.
Yeah, 12 years, if accurate, is pretty quick. I had a very average career and I think it took me 16 or 17 years. Unless you come in at a higher grade (or just get someone to give you a direct commission to O5/O6), making rank that quick seems pretty unusual.

In the Navy even if you commission at a higher rank, you end in O3 purgatory for the duration, 6-10 years. So you can come in on day 1 an O3 (thinking physicians, mainly) but will then spend the same amount of time as a lieutenant as anyone else.
Yeah, 12 years is super fast to pick up O5.

During No Captain left behind, 12 years might happen. 2009-2011 was like 100% selection on first go and I think was also 3 years instead of 4 for first look (I could be wrong) but we were shedding so many dudes an O-3 that seems about right.
So depending on accession date in 2008. he might have been for what was early promotion. And then BZ for Major and BZ for LTC. You'd have to be SHIT HOT and connected for that to work. But they exist. Like finding a unicorn.
