    At 31 she has a lot more life experience than some student just getting out of college at 22. She’ll instantly have more respect than that 22 year old recent college grad.

      Age doesn't mean a damn thing compared to how they carry themselves. A leader is a leader. You're born with it.
      We had a first sergeant who the whole company would swear the guy had dementia. That's probably a whole different issue.

      @@rogerwilco5918 I agree. My grandfather was awarded a battlefield commission in Korea and promoted to an officer rank due to the leadership he demonstrated on the field of battle and because there was a shortage of officers fighting in Korea at the time. He never had any proper officer training but he made a damn fine leader. He was able to become a lieutenant colonel before finally retiring in 1970 after 26 years of service. He intentionally retired before he made colonel because in his words, at the rank of colonel and above you get involved in army politics, but all he wanted to be was a soldier and a leader first and foremost.
