That is so true. I saw it happen with one of my players, and went ahead and let him fail a roll automatically when is character hit retirement age.

In hindsight, I should have had a mechanism to cover volunteering for the war. Its 50/50: You take a hit on starting cash, but it maxes out your skills vs. age.

What I am thinking is this: A player can say: Next term is my war term. He doesn't get the double skills it normally allows, but he is still able to take a secondary skill, and one additional MOS skill. Promotions are as normal. Does this make sense, or is it pure crap?
