If there is a need, as in for doctors, rules can be waived. Apparently.

Wonder what I would need to do to get "The Donald" to sign an exception to policy memo so I can be a fleet admiral. Always wanted to command the CVN's.  Wheels

Dr. Tyrone Krause could be winding down his career and mapping out the best beaches to enjoy a drink his insurance at this age is so high that to continue working becomes very complicated so Dr. Krause did the right thing - he enlisted so that he can continue in his profession, not everybody looks forward to retirement.

No need to be a fleet admiral unless of course you mean you want to be in charge of ALL of them.
