And she's a Major too. How many people are Majors by the time they're (only) 30? Maybe 2 or 3?

They have tons! It the Air Force. They have the youngest officers and the oldest NCOs.

If you haven't made Major by 30, you might be looking at a RIF package in your near future.

After about six years, major is a re-up bonus for most captains.

She's 30, and a major? Sounds like below the zone to me. I've been retired 13 years now, so things might have changed. I pinned on major at the 11 year point from 2ndLt and that was on time.

It could happen if she was commissioned as soon as she finished college.

The system has changed. Air Force officers typically hit their majors board at the eight year point, or so. Inasmuch, someone who got commissioned at the age of 22...rather common...could easily make major and be pinned on by 30.

Don't know if she is medical corp or not. Many docs and dentists make O-4 well before 30. Hell, they come right out of med schools and are immediately O-3s.
