Marvellous.

Housekeeping:) for mundane soldiers I can see it as covered by Soldier but, in an average 45 years of service, ISMs must have done 15 minutes per week so a mere 1cp...

At first I felt the skills points seem somewhat low, for their training and decades of service, but you have that covered by the higher IQ and DX: wisdom of experience increasing stats = better in all skills.
Is it accurate, however, to make a veteran marine better able to do non-military tasks than a civilian of the same age? Should IQ & DX be dropped a point and 4cp added to all primary skills? Years of experience being a marine but not so hot at being a civilian?
