What does that say? Where did the generals come from? Oldest, not longest service. The majority of active duty generals are also West Point graduates. The colonel was probably prior enlisted before he got his West Point appointment, thus making him older than his superiors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few slots for colonels where they are allowed to stay past the 30 year mandatory retirement. Typically these are highly technical and specialized roles where continuity is also desired. He is probably in one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
