In my hometown we have a Museum of Flight. In that museum there is an upright board with an image of NASA EVA gear... The faceplate of the helmet is cut out so that you may be photographed with your face in the helmet....

Me, I was wondering if I could sneak my old Malamute in.....

They have one like that at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. I have a picture of me in the suit, on a Tee Shirt with stars and planets AND a Type-S Scout Ship in the background!

Nice! Gettin' yo' IISS chops on! Cuz hey, bugger the Imperial Marines...we all wanna be Scouts!

You find it easier to plan your new home's / apartment's furniture layout in 1.5m squares.

You see some of the uber ships in other sci-fi media and say "Hey! That's an illegal design! That's WAY more than 1M tons displacement!"

⌡ Every four years, you consider whether to remain in your current career, change jobs, or muster out.

No, you figure out which career is closest to yours, and roll to see whether you muster out or not

You mean you don't roll first to see whether you're accepted in that service?

The survival roll is the tricky one.

The survival roll is automatic in some careers; the real bummer is failing the roll to re-enlist!

After my re-enlistment with the Army failed, I now end my four-year term as Others (salesman). Anyone got a link to the next scout service recruitment center?

Had a weird dream involving a woman who looked and sounded a lot like Emma Thompson, a grand hotel with an antagonistic staff, and a chief antagonist (Solomani Texan) who would not respond properly when I pull out an ID card and say things like "I am an Imperial Lord", "I have an Imperial Warrant", and "SHUT THE F**K UP!"

That's where I woke up.

- in your house the bathroom is called the "fresher"
- you've reached the age where you wonder if you made your last Aging Roll
- your idea of accomplishment is to finally get the planetary writeups for [X] sector converted to the latest version of the rules
- you know disturbing amounts about the lethality of various munitions
- you can't remember if TDX has been invented yet
- you refer to the world political state as "balkanised"
- you can draw a planetary geodesic projection with your eyes closed
- you're pretty sure The Truth Is Out There, cos if you had any say in the matter, you'd make Terra 2006 a Red Zone too

- you can quote verbatim the accumulated lore about droptanks but have to think hard to remember how many years you've been married
