I would just like to add that most of you are overestimating the amount of time Rukia, Renji, Momo, and Izuru have been in the Gotei 13. Seeing as Isshin was a captain 20 years ago, and Rukia didn't know who he was at the start of the series, I'd think it's safe to say they have been Shinigami for less than 20 years. I just thought I'd point this out since a few of you were saying that Rukia has been around for 50 years.
