Addendum to Canon vs. Fanon, part 14: How old is Sam, really?

[fignewton]

There was considerable discussion in the comments section of the Sam Carter edition regarding Sam's actual age. If you're interested in reading the details that lead to the final conclusion (the screencap from Entity doesn't work, but Sam is still younger than Daniel), this link will take you directly to the new analysis.

And thanks, Codger. :)

But I don't think they do make exceptions, even for Sam, on going to grad school after. (my experience is Army, not Air Force). And yeah, you've got the gulf war and pilot training too.

But it comes back to how long she's in rank. And she couldn't be born in the early sixties and only become a major in 1999. She'd have been drummed out of the service. Even giving a few months here or there because of canon timeline v. "our" timeline, they've been staying close enough to real life that it can't be much different (and certainly not make her birthdate older than Daniel's).

More than anything else, I think TPTB screwed up royally. :-)
