That must be a Guard guy, the age cutoff for AD is much lower.
How many good years of team time do you think that a 45 y/o has ahead of him? Add a year or two to that to complete the SFQC, BTW.
I have lived through SF leadership which was relatively late in their careers in arriving on teams. It was not a positive experience.
The team is only as fast or as strong as its weakest link, and I see a lot of potential problems with a brand new 46 y/o SF soldier. He may put the rest of his team in jeopardy for his own agenda.
Just my .02, YMMV.
