I know its already been done but I’ve got Quibbles with others math so, imma put my Tommy Kinard Age calculations out there:
So, one thing I’ve seen is people using the Modern service requirements for the army “high school to flight school” program.
The minimum service comitment was changed 6 to 10 years only in 2020, so we can bring that down to 6 years for tommy.
With parental approval and either high school diploma or a GED, you Can enlist and join the “high school to flight school” program as early as 17 years old (and i bet tommy’s shitty dad would totally approve lmao) Soo theoretically if we give tommy the absolute Fastest possible route:
He joins at 17 and goes for the army’s “high school to flight school” program: so has 6 months of basic training + at minimum 1.5 years of flight school and warrant officer training.
So he’s at minimum 19.
Then I’m of two minds:
1) If he serves the full 6 years, he’d be 25.
2) There is a possibility thats he is even younger if he didnt serve the total of his 6 years if he was discharged.
Could be cause of injury or other reasons. Since he would be serving prior to 2011, we could even assume he got discharged for “Homosexual Conduct” under DADT lol. He could have gotten an Honorable Discharge, a General Discharge, or an Other Than Honorable (these were Technically Possible to get with a DADT violation, and wouldnt cause as much trouble with the LAFD like a Dishonorable Discharge would). If were really speed running him through it we could then estimate that he was only 19, right after flight school, and maybe Just started service before his discharge.
Either way, either he doesn’t re-up or gets discharged, lets say he then IMMEDIATELY decides to join the LAFD. Assuming he gets accepted right away, the academy in 6 months of training, and then hes got a minimum of 1 year as a probationary firefighter. So minimum +1.5 years.
So hes either 26.5 if be served his 6, or minimum 20.5 if he was discharged earlier.
If we assume he has Just finished he probation when Chim joins in 2005, that means that in 2024, 19 year later, Tommy is at the at between 39.5-45.5
So being like literally the MOST generous: having him enlist at 17, And even with the minimum 6year service hes 45. And even having him discharged as soon as possible after finishing flight school at 19, he’s still Almost 40 at minimum.
And all of thats is assuming like no gaps: that he joins the military as soon as possible, that he wasn’t at the 118/ in the LAFD for linger before Chim joined, that he didn’t serve More than his initial contract, that that contract was actually the absolute minimum of 6years and not more, and that he didnt re-up for more that one tour (and i mean based on the implication of him having a house with room for a car lift and muay thai up in LA, like… he would make a lot more money the longer he served lol.
So anyway with 45 being the minimum if he wasnt discharged, its really not that hard to very reasonably get him up to his 50s

Technical difficulties with the previous post but when we last left off I was making bows for the Sakura/Matcha Milk Tea Cow Sweet Lolita Fursuit... Thing. Look I have a vision, and that vision is adorable. Anyway, tail bow pics from last night:
Slept on it, then deep-cleaned the upstairs on it, and I've decided it needs... More.
