Tim Predmore is on active duty with the 101st Airborne Division near Mosul, Iraq. A 1985 Richwoods High School graduate and native Peorian, he has been in Iraq since March and in the military for about five years.

Correction: Tim Predmore WAS on active duty with the 101st Airborne Division....

Assuming this is true to begin with...assuming he's a real person. A 1985 graduate has to be at least 35 years old and this says he's been in the military "about 5 years". I don't think the 101st takes 30 year old recruits.

Good catch. Methinks this was just made up by someone who wasn't very good at math.

I believe you may be correct. I thought that the maximum age for enlistment was 27.

I believe the age cut-off is 31.
