Converting CT skills into Mongoose Traveller

[Kamingusu]

I found my old CT characters generated in the 80s (!) and I am trying to convert them into MgT. I cannot find an equivalent of Instruction and Recruiting in Mgt (and I do not remember what practical purpose Instruction gives). Has anyone converted these skills into newer versions of the game?

I am converting the gun skills by using the highest level of gun skill to apply to a "gun combat (xxx)" score, and the same for "melee (blade)" scores.

Keep the skills? The closest may be Leadership.

Recruiting is recruiting (soldiers).

Instruction is being a teacher, especially for military recruits.

I'd say the narrower the skills are, the less you should try to be faithful to them. I'd convert to Leadership and Persuade, respectively. Or possibly Persuade and Carouse, it doesn't have to be an exact science.

Both can be lumped as specializations of social sciences, or import them whole cloth.

Recruiting was often done while carousing in the past...
