Special Assignments

Is there anything in all the Mongoose books like the old specialist assignments from CT Mercenary -- things like Intelligence School, Command College, Staff College, or Commando School?
 
Events?

E.g.:
"You are given advanced training in a specialist field. Roll EDU 8+ to gain one level in any skill you already have."

That might be as close as it gets. Probably better balanced -- Commando School could give something like up to 8 skills -- but far less interesting.

The "Connections" rule helps make events more interesting, at least in theory. Make up a story for that event that involves one of your fellow travellers, and you both get a skill-up. If you can make it tie in to another player's event at the same time, all the better.

(Disclaimer: I haven't actually played through this yet, my game starts next month).
