Character Sheet: Unclear Sections

[Draconian]

I am setting up a T5 game on Roll20.net, which combines a teleconferencing system with a common "table" view and space to store character sheets and handouts.

The character sheet for T5 is inherently easy, with simple 2D rolls for characteristics and a list of skills. I have sorted skills out according to the list on p. 142, but grouped individual Knowledges with their root skill, and noted all Default Skills as Level 0 on my virtual character sheet (players can edit skills if they get a higher level).

But there are some spots on the character sheet p. 106 (or inside front cover if you prefer) that I don't understand:

• Service Experience and Career Experience: How are these boxes different? How do you fill these boxes out, as well as the use of the 10 small "Term" boxes on the sheet?
• Organic Int= and Edu=: At the bottom you have these two boxes but I don't know what they are for. They seem to have something to do with noting the basic organic brain of a character if he becomes augmented or a cyborg or something. How would those boxes be used?

The T5 book could have made a few references to the sheet when it went into the steps of character creation, to show us how to organize the notes about each Term.

Naturally, I need to thoroughly understand the book's character sheet before I can make a modified sheet usable with the Roll20 online gaming system. Any of your ideas would be appreciated.

Draconian,

My take would be that Service Experience relates to 'Military Service Exp' as in Army, Spacer, Scout, Marine... and Career Experience covers everything else.

For the Organic Int= & Edu= .... these seem to be simply repetitions of the C4 & C5 values from the front of the character card .. I've scoured the Sophont creation section but find no reference to these boxes ....
Personally I prefer the character card created by BlackFalcon found HERE

The Career Experience box is much bigger than the Service Experience box.

I'm not sure what to put into those boxes. The names of the careers selected? The ranks? The number of terms in each career? The Mustering Out loot?

Also, are the small Terms boxes there just to stick a check-mark in? I found it useful to note changes of rank.

As I said, they needed a few more in-text references about what to actually DO with these boxes.
