It also add to development of the PC's. Limiting the terms will give a strong military background and serves a motivation of why they serve in state guard. These are PC that served in military back during the Vietnam draft era.

I understand that you do not want a serving military/LEO but my understanding was you were making older characters, so making a career (retired) military who got out after Vietnam, by TW2000 they will have been out for about 20 years, not likely to be getting recalled, or even let back in, and even if they were everything about the military is different by then.

Remember you are creating a State Guard character, not a police officer or serving military character.

I guess I am not understanding what you think the state guard character should be. I see the State Guard more as a club that they belong to that has some duties, same as Red Cross, Volunteer Fireman and so on. I am not sure how being a police officer would not let you use them. Yes they may not have been called up, but after the fecal matter hits the oscillating blade and they decide to call up the State Guard for home defense/law enforcement having a fully trained LEO (maybe even retired) on the team I could see being good.
