| Welcome to P-net! I've had some experience with guys from the 2nd REP... found 'em to be hooah and professional. As a side note... is there any truth to the noise that the Legion Et'ranger is going to extend the term of service to 20 years?

| Hoooaaah You can stay in the FFL as long as you are fit enough, we had guys in my old regiment with more than 30 years on their back even a guy in HQ with 37 years on his back, well they say time limit is when you turn 55 then it is about time to relax. Best wishes Legionaire65

Hmm... let me rephrase my question. I heard a rumor that the legion was going to make 20 years the minimum retirement mark instead of 15 as a method of retaining experienced personnel. Figured the proposal would be a dead issue as far as legion advocates were concerned but politicians have a funny way of getting unpopular ideas made into law.
