GURPS Traveller: Interstellar Wars - Maintenance

So the "every two weeks" sense is likely.

You answered my question spot on. Thank you!

English shortcomings notwithstanding, this establishes precedent that the GURPS authors use "biweekly" to mean fortnightly. Excellent reference, Anaraxes. All misgivings resolved!
