Why should it be any other way just because you have a differnt job than others?
In the case of a soldier that question is kind of laughable. Its an accepted societal fact that soldiers get treated differently. Period. End of story. In the case of EVE the situation of a soldier simply serves to high-light the fundamental problem. There is no system in place that allows for your long-term absence that still allows you to take advantage of the skill system. One of EVE's biggest selling points is "you don't have to play the game to 'level' up." Its why people with limited game playing time like EVE. If this is going to be an EVE selling point there needs to be a system that allows for long-term absence as well.

Yes and Yes.

When it all comes down to it, its just a job like everyother job. Either change rules in general, or leave and let it count for all. I see no point in making sepcial rules for special groups. How a bout kids that go to school, and is not allowed to stay up later than 20.00? should they only pay for those hours then... and you can go on.
Its rather easy to manage skills such that a few days aren't a problem. Its rather difficult to manage skills when you're going to be gone for 9 months +. Lets say I simply want to take a yacht and sale for 4 months. I should be able to just have someone log in and change my skills. I shouldn't have to pay $60 bucks for the privilege. I want a system to be created that allows for this, and that is what I think the OP wants as well. A system as simple as setting a queue of skills when you log off that continues to train, uninterrupted and automatically, so long as your account is active would be an excellent solution.

Rules are rules, no matter job, age, gender, race, location etc etc. Just my opinion
Most governments, and people, disagree with you.
In SOME societies that is true. Not all and even on those societies that is far from confirming as an inteligent thing.
Its your problem you decided to be a soldier. If I am amedic and i am called for an emergency surgery and loose my skill change time for a few hours. Why is soldier more important than me? The medic is salving a life... contrary to the other.
