Yeah, they've gotta get used to the fact that the boomers are going to have to die before they get promoted and they'll be 'the kid' in the office until they are 45....
Oh good grief. Grow up. Knock the chip off of your shoulder, prove yourself and stop blaming others for your failures.

Sixteen years in the service and you whine like a twelve year old girl who can't go to the mall with her friends. Given your flaming adolescent attitudes I would suggest that perhaps it is not your 'youth' that is keeping your from promotion. Cream always rises to the top.
My oldest is just a bit younger than you. After reading your posts I am even more proud of him than I was before.
