I noticed that too and thought it was a bit odd but who knows...ELB wrote:Tangent: "Lieutenant Colonel Karl Trenker, 29, of Miramar, Florida..."
He's a Lt Col at 29? The picture caption says that too.... hmmm
A little googling, came across a marine forum that says he is 48 with 29 years service. I guess the Daily Mail editors background knowledge is a little thin on the US military...
Back on track...I think the world of Marines, but going to an unknown apartment complex to sell a gold necklace thru Craig's list was maybe not the best planning. Glad he had the cool and the smarts to recover.
He sure didn't look like he was 29 in any of the pics I could find on him but he sure was one big ol fella!
