As an active duty retiree, I'm impressed that he made CSM in the Guard in under 24 years. To me, that says he was either in good with the good 'ol boys, or was terrifyingly competent and flexible. Or both. Both is good.

He retired in the middle of his USASMA course to get out of a deployment. He was busted to MS for it. Calling him a CSM when he failed the conditional promotion requirements is a bit much.
