Aging a character magically

[Malexa]

This strange questions came up my mind quite early when I was a young recruit in the [RM]
On discovery promotions dont take 5 years or more.
You get promoted in a fast way and in certain cases its a rocket career.

Admiral Malte is maybe one of the best examples.
this character was made with the age of 18. Bloody young, not experienced and ready to serve Rheinland.

Suddenly I found her at the Rank of a Feldwebel at the age of 18.
A few months later Leutnant or Oberleutnant.
I had to change her age to 24, because it does not make any sense in terms of RP, to have a 18 year old Flag officer within the ranks.
She needs to be experienced and that is what you clearly don't have at the age of 18. Experience.

Now she is Admiral for quite a while now and I aged her a little bit again. 28 years. Still bloody young for an Admiral though.
The common Admiral is around the fifties, or the rocket careers around the fourties.

There is no simple explanation why a 28 year girl could make Admiral. Especialy Fleet Admiral in her case.
So what do you think? Should we age our characters in such cases?
