@mayinmidlife: Mark made Chief at 63 years old. At 64, he went through Chief initiation. Think about that for a second. There are people who will convince themselves at 30, 40 or 50 that their window has closed. That they're too old to start over, chase something new, go back to school, change careers, earn the promotion or finally do the thing they've always wanted to do. Meanwhile, Mark was 63 years old putting on anchors. Your timeline doesn't have to look like anyone else's. Maybe you're not behind. Maybe you're just still becoming. Keep showing up. Keep trying. Keep putting your name in the hat. You might be surprised by how much life is still waiting for you. It's only too late when you decide you're done. ⚓️ #NeverTooLate #ChiefPettyOfficer #MilitaryLife #VeteranCommunity #KeepGoing

Pretty sure he just joined for season as an Honorary Chief. He could not have rejoined for real at that age.

There's some BS and truth to that 60. Depends on your rate and prior service record and needs of the Navy.
