George Washington was a general at 22. :)

The federation is the equivalent of a navy. I may be wrong, but if you get appointed a rank due to circumstances, and do the job well, they probably won’t demote you.

But somebody, who knows better, can correct me if you can’t keep a rank that you get appointed to.

Yeah, but, c'mon, life expectancy was about 40 then.

I'm just being a crank [but you knew that.] Even back in '69, Commander Kirk must have been pushing 40. A more mature Kirk would spark more interest from me in the new films.

But, of course, I won't go see them anyway. So, who cares?
