a 41 y.o. sargent? He should have killed himself. I was an e-6 at 25
Depends on MOS and age at enlistment. If you assume a slow moving MOS and a late enlistment age, 41 would not be too far off. It is possible to enlist at 35 ... so 6 + years in service.
A person Sergeant can any rank. I was a MSgt I was address as a Sergeant. He could be an E8. I would not expect the media to know when to use a formal address.

Yet you can't spell sergeant?
Rank was hard to get during the Clinton years and can be slow in some MOSs, too.

Also, a seasoned vet like you knows that lowercase "sergeant" can be used for any sergeant rank. SFC Ryan Sabin
Your attempt at bragging has backfired.
Was a sergeant @ 21 and was still a sergeant when I retired @ 43... Sergeant is a title...
