Talk:Colonel Shay/@comment-2018431-20100513133341

Im not too sure about the Navy, but in the Marine Corps it takes at least twenty-two years of near perfect service to get to Colonel, and at that theres only a 50% promotion rate from candidate Lieutenant Colonels. So if her father joined in 1995 add twenty-two years to that. Is carly 22+? No she isnt. Also If he had become a Colonel in that short of a time, the Military would have his ass locked down in a command center. Plus, i really can't think of many occasions where a Battalion-Grade officer would be on a submarine that people know exists.
