I've thought about using 3-year terms, and/or then having a d6 roll to round up or down a year at the end of chargen.
Re: 59-year old tanker. My great-grandfather *may* have gone to WW1 ~age 57. He was a sergeant in the Pennsylvania NG, and I have a photo of him in the regiment's pre-deployment "yearbook." I just haven't found any evidence beyond that. That same regiment went to Luzon in 1898-99, but again, no hard evidence.
