[RFC] Being You is Deculture

An O-2 at 19 means early Academy admission and very high class standing / honors graduate status.
She probably skipped a couple of grades in middle school or the like as well, finishing high school by 15-16.

The age makes a romance with Hikaru more believable (I'd always thought she was 23-25 and he was 18-19), but it makes it very clear that multiple someones very high up (not just her father) think she has a LOT of potential as an officer.

So, she's concentrated on work, work, work all her life, with little or no downtime to relax?

No wonder she looks older than she is.
