Austin is the right age where if you had the right skin you got promoted. In 1988, 89 the military jumped a generation of experience worth over guys to promote 8 year minorities and women over those who taught them. Iy fucke up the leadership development for years and foisted a bunch of snotty nosed E7s and junior officers who didn't know jack shit. Peter principled the navy middle management for a generation. In fact t many chiefs from that easy promotion never finished to retirement.
Too true... I trained two women who not long after were promoted to out rank me and I ended up reporting to them both. I was a hard trainer too and paid dearly.
