I checked the dates, they all fit the timeline. Born 2145, he was 12 in 2157 (First Contact War), joined 2160 (roughly) at 15. Got discharged/"left willingly" early at 2169(-2170 maybe) at 24. They're normally let off the hook at 30, but they normally don't get in Fornax maganzines, so I assume that's intentional.

Edit: 
Gowi - Ha. True enough. If no one else is willing to do one, I can wing it later.
