From what I have seen, 29 years old is young to be a Marine Lt. Col.

He looks more like 40. I think they got his age wrong.

One news source (don’t remember what it was) gave his age as 48.
To: GOP_Party_Animal; HChampagne
In reading the comments at the article, someone said they served with the Lt. Col.
They stated that he is 48 but that he's served for 29 years.
The sloppiness of the reporter get it wrong again.
To: HChampagne
29 in the Corps, 48 on the planet.

From what I could research, I think you are correct. He’s 48 y/o.

I think I’m pretty tough, but even if I was a thief I wouldn’t steal a gold chain from that guy!

Good thing it was only five times. Even a Marine would run out of fingers eventually.

He’s a Marine with 29 years of service. The report got garbled somewhere along the line (either that or Marines don’t count the part of their lives before they joined the Corps).
