What rank these condemened officers will achived by 45? I heard
some of them still rank of CPT when they retired.
To reach age 45, an officer will likely be been on his third
serving contract with the SAF.
For the "condemned", they would've long left earlier. The
benchmarks for non-highfliers will be something like making MAJ by
age 29-30, or LTC at 36-37. If you haven't attain the appropriate
rank, or don't see yourself achieving it, then no point reupping,
lah. Don't forget the military works on a pyramid hierarchy, with
the scholars on the faster-promotion track.[/quote]
