What I remember best is the anal-retentive attitude. To create a character with the original rules, you had to roll for skills picked up during each 4-year tour of duty. Then you had to roll for survival at the end of the tour. You could get thru six tours, have a powerful and/or interesting character, and then lose him. And then you'd have to start from scratch. Of course the first thing I did as GM was to drop that rule.
