1. Unfortunately, not a great question
Average time to flag grade, especially in a post war, downsized service, would be o/a 25 years. O-6 at the 22 year point would be about right.

The question everyone is avoiding is why he wasn't nailed for the UCMJ violation, ie adultery. He was playing paddy cake with la Cindy while still married.

5. Most likely.
An 0-3 wouldn't have been in at the 22 year point. As memory serves but doesn't reenlist, O-3 was capped at the ten year point, up or out.

3. Why did he spend 26 years in Congress and not accomplish anything?
mccain says, "our energy problems have been building up for 30 years." Then he blames Obama, who just got there, for high gas prices.

What an angry Little Jerk mccain is. Yuck.
