Editing Schola Progenium (section)

=== Exceptions ===

[[Inquisitors]] can sponsor the enrollment of [[Dark Heresy|specific individuals]] in a Schola to undergo [[Stormtrooper]] training.

This is actually quite a difficult period for any prospective mature student; despite the fact that they may be much older and experienced than his high-school aged classmates, the Schola itself makes no special distinction between them.

Due to their varied background, their range of education may be vastly inferior to that of the other progenia, particularly if they originally came from a feral world or underhive. As such, they will probably be far behind their classmates, and end up pissing off their instructors to no end, who can't deal with a war veteran exposed to daemonic infohazards and aliens who is likely suffering from PTSD and can probably tear them limb from limb out of experience. That said, the veteran will doubtless be dramatically ahead of his peers in actual combat training, which is all anyone would truly care about. What they need is smoothing out their hard-earned skills and talents combined with tactical and small unit training.

*It's quite ironic, since according to the [[Dark Heresy|RPG rules]], Storm Troopers are ascension (lv9+) characters whilst Drill Abbots are lv5+ guardsmen so it is [[derp|quite possible]] for a Guardsman character to become a Drill Abbot FIRST and THEN a Storm Trooper.

''Those who can, do; those who can't, teach.''
