Hey KAG,
Just occurred to me that perhaps the reason we don't come to terms on the age of guys who left the military at the end of conflict or shortly after, is that many of them got out "early" as the military drew down and so they were in the 24-27 age group. Hence, a guy who was 25 get out in '74 and is now 61-62. Even a 27-year old who gets out in '73 is just now hitting 65. Admittedly, a narrow "Vietnam-era pilot" gap which I should have better explained. Whenever I speak to someone regarding the upcoming retirement boom, they refer to these guys in this manner.
Just for clarification.
Cheers
B the K,
I was heavily into getting ready to apply and prepared from 95-98, still have the old Air Inc gouge book. Ended up flying in Europe instead.
