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.

It is a guard guy, Sir, and personally I completely agree with you. Just making the observation that there are some old guys in the course. In general, the older guys are from the guard. The oldest AD guys I know are in their late 30's, and they are E6s or E7s already with good, real-world experience.
