A 23-year veteran of The Eastman Kodak Co. has been fired

How much of a 'veteran' can one be at 23?

I don't think it is saying he is 23 years old, but that he was worked at Kodak for 23 years. So for this employee, it was a huge risk that he took.

I need my reading glasses ....I read 23 year 'old'.

Look again, it doesn't say 23 years old, it says a 23 year veteran - meaning he's worked there for 23 years. So to answer your question: 23!!!!
