Good question. At the point in the Sins Universe where this Rp is happening, the TEC has been in a solid Decade of Open warfare with the Vasari, so they've been forced to reactivate Semi-Retired officers (Such as Admiral Kol) due to the Recent Advent Incursion, in order to have seasoned leadership to help push back.<br/><br/>At the moment, I'd assume that the military, however, still operates under the 'minimum age' requirement, so you have to be at least 18 to join, and in decent physical condition.
