Yeah, roughly late 20s early 30s. (27-33 depending on when entering the service, and she's a lifer with a family history of service, so we'll say the second she was 18.) It also depends on how fast she got through the Academy. So her officer status would start at 23 minimum typically if she entered the academy at 18. O-3 which is air force Captain, is +4 years minimum. So 23+4 = 27 at the earliest.

It's not quite the same as say the Army, Marines, or Navy where it's a few months of high endurance boot camp and off you go.

Plus it also depends on the story itself and how it's approached. Colonel she'd be too young for outright though.
