Next path: as per standard IS TOD

2. Base captured during fighting on planet. (Add d6+2 years to time path takes. If character defects, take Stigma [2/defector] plus rank [2], Wealth [2]. If not, takes Quirk [2/loyal to nation] and Good Rep [2], but at the cost of Glass Jaw and Lost Limb [1]. May take no more military paths.)
3. Called into battle and maimed horribly. (Combat Paralysis, Combat Sense, any two combat skills in MOS +3, choose two: poor vision, poor hearing, addiction [1/painkillers], addiction [1/alcohol], or disabled [1]; may take no more military paths unless three edge are sacrificed.)
4.The general's secretary is hereby off limits. (Stigma [2], Seduction +2, Career/Soldier -3, Enemy [3])
5. As head of the supply department, any theft or short in the inventory is on your head (lose either all Wealth or all Well-Equiped., Bad Rep [1])

7. You were leading great armies into battle and winning...... until you crashed the system installing 'Star Crusader X.' (Computers +2, Career/Soldier -2)
8. Chaplain Walters does have a nice daughter.... but why's he a chaplain if he's such a good shot? (Seduction +2, Bureacracy +1, Career/Soldier -1, Enemy [2])
9. "Maxwell Q. Klinger reporting for duty, sir!" (Stigma [2/looney], Career/Soldier -2, any two skills +2)
10. You were leading great armies into battle and winning- you even beat the all-time high score! (Computers +3, Career/Soldier -2, Good Rep [1])
11. Your section cheif took you under his wing. (Contact [2], Career/Soldier +3)
12. As head of the supply department, any shortages or thefts are on your head. (Lose either all Wealth or all Well-Equipped; transfer points to other.)

14. Flagged to do PR. (Extrovert, CHA +1, Acting +3, Career/Soldier +3, any two skills +2)

17.Aptiude tests suggest that you would do just as good elsewhere (may select either Infantry or Calvary MOS [or any other MOS as GM allows.], Good Rep [2])
