Citizens of Me! The cruelty of the old Pharaoh is a thing of the past. Let a whole new wave of cruelty wash over this lazy land.
Hear the word of Pharaoh. Build unto me a statue of ridiculous proportion. One billion cubits in height......that I might be remembered for all eternity!
And be quick about it!

Slipspace travel, in cryotubes. Considering his family's tradition of military service, his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather all likely spent a considerable amount of time in cryo. John has spent over a decade in cryo - he is chronologically 40 but biologically 28.
That's 10 years, this guy would have had to have spent over 300 years in cryo to be Admiral Cole's great grandfather, and slipspace hasn't been around that long... Cole was born in the year 2470. The rain forest wars began in the year 2162. Thats 308 years difference. Plenty of time for three generations and cyro storage.
This great grandfather was on his mother's side and she was not a military woman, so that eliminates one of those generations. It seems quite unlikely that anybody would be in cryo for that long. Unless perhaps he was traveling in cryo at slower then light speed, taking a very long time to get places. But humanity didn't have any distant colonies yet so that seems unlikely...
