I only served on active duty, but is it common for a 37 year-old to be a corporal (E-4) in the National Guard (without disciplinary action)?

The Guard will take a prior serviceman. He could have been out for 15 years and joined the guard after 9/11 coming in with his previous rank. Age 37 less say 3 years active duty deducted from his age makes him eligible. (I believe age 34 is the cut off) Its been a while, but I seem to remember it being that way.

My friend was in the Navy for 4 years. He got out in '86 and then joined the NG in 2002 at the age of 39. He is now 40 and in Iraq and an E-3 (just got promoted to E-4 but not paid for it yet). He is twice the age of some of the kids in his unit.
