[@LightningLynx89]Question of a lot of interest...How did he reach the rank of Lieutenant Colonel with three to four years of service? That's quite a leap I'm not sure the Americans do?

Lieutenant Colonel in the US military is like the middle point of the hierarchy of command. And it's not that rare for people so young to become that rank at so long, I have a cousin who is a Lieutenant Colonel and he's only a year older than O'Ryan would be. And I know a close friend's father who was a Lieutenant Colonel during the Gulf War at the age of 22. So it really dependent on skill and leadership ability.
