In the Army he would only be a Sergent

Time in service is a better measure here to reflect his seniority, and thirteen years is long term. And BTW historically, it takes much longer to make rank in the Air Force than in the Army between the ranks of E-1 to E-7.

I am retired Air Force...And I don't see this guy having much of a future in or out of the military.

I don't see him as being sincere but an opportunist looking for publicity.

The lengths that folks will go to here to spin are just amazing. No...his seniority is based on his rank and time in grade. Period. It has jack to do with time in service. Anyone who spent more that a day in the military knows this.
