loved the film....confused about one thing...

Rating: 9/10 (19 January 2015)

American SNIPER is a powerful, poignant, riveting and well put together film. Brilliant editing and all characters came off as convincing and genuine.
I would recommend this film to all. Outstanding performances were given by Bradley Cooper and SIenna Miller.
One point of confusion for me--some of the timing/age discussion... At SEAL training camp-I thought Chris was 30 years old. Training camp was prior to 9/11. If so, the dates do not work out for his age. Was he younger at training camp? Did I miss this? Wished to clarify this point if any one might chime in/reply to me. Thank you.
