40. Sounds like he joined the military before the Persian Gulf War.
If he joined "straight out of high school" as the article said.

It also sounds like he took every path available to him to delay deployment; the extra MPH degree, the fellowship in addition to a residency.

It also sounds like the military had invested so much in him that they were damn well going to get what they wanted out of him.
