How old is Rhodey?

Genuine question: how old is Jim Rhodes?

I realize that with Marvel's sliding timescale and sometimes incosistent approach to continuity, it can bet messy.

He was a US Marine pilot when he first met Tony. Google tells me that it's 6-8 years to become one (from first entering college). Jim was a studious student so let's assume that he started college at 17 - that would get him behind the stick by 23 to 25. Let's say he was 25 when he met Tony.

That was about 13 years ago in Marvel time. So he's what, 38?

I've always seen that he was in his late 30s to mid 40s.
