It depends on the person. My uncle, Walter Ratliff, was in the Air Force 25 years before his appointment. If you search his name there is a good biography about his career online. The position is permanent and nominated through a process involving congress, the senate, secretary of defense and passes the presidents desk before the position is confirmed.
