i was an o5c teletype operator back in 82,and i will tell you as a fact that we had to serve in the field for a number of weeks, months or years, depending on the base, as a combat soldier, also the mos training for that job is almost the longest on in the military, and intelligence feilds are the same way, so ford might have spent at least 3 years training, and then another few months in combat or investigation before he ever even went to a desk job.
im sure that s.h.a.d.o would be even more intensive and thurough in thier standards. making it jump probably around to 5 years just as a non- command officer doing field work.
he was also ''top in his field'' according to headquarters standards, which meant at least 7 years as a covert ops teletype combat nco or officer.
