Assuming an age of 22/ 23 years when first commissioned, it is possible for a "high flyer" to make Lt Col after 12 years, although 15 would be more typical. In the British Army it's common to make Lt Col by late thirties, but not unknown for a few to get there aged 34-35.

∙ 12y agoThere in not a set age limit or minimum to be a colonel other than at least 17 of course because you have to be that old to join the military. A lot of colonels will be at least 40 considering the time that college or Officer Candidate School will take will put them in their twenties before they can even join the military. Also keep in mind that some guys have put in 20-30 years in the military and not even made colonel. It is a difficult rank to make.
