Char Gen ?

I know I should know this, but I'm not understanding the way I'm reading it.

During character creation, all the military service branches list that you can not multiclass into them unless you were serving in the previous term...but that seems to suggest to me that unless you start as some branch you can't get in ever.

Tell me where I'm getting confused please.

you can enlist into a branch of the military, you just can not take Levels in the class unless your in the Prior Hystory.

Pg 124 EMPLOYMENT 1st Paragraph is for NON service Employment.

You can enlist into the military age upto 33, right side of page Enlisting or Getting a Job, note the part about basic training and OTC.

Hail Asmenedas,
Multiclassing is not the same as enlisting in a service.

For Example you can enslist in the Marines, but take levels in Merchant. For rationalization you can say the character served as quartermaster.

The reverse however is not true. You cannot enlist in the Merrchants and take levels of experience in Marine. In order to take levels in Marine, Army, Navy, or Scout you must be activly serving in that Service.
