 Following successful completion of ABT, the trainees are sent directly to the AFD BattleMech companies as secondary pilots to the 'Mechs they were assigned. The exact content of the 4 month long AST program varies from company to company, and is mostly "on-the-job"-training. Passing the AST final test will grant the trainee the MechWarrior status, and the rank of ''Secondary Mech Officer, Grade 1'' (SMO1).

 ===Retirement===
-There is no age limit in the career of a MechWarrior in AFD, but a MechWarrior in his fifties is a rare sight due to the fact that most fail their yearly tests in the late 40s. The oldest MechWarrior in AFD history was 61-year old CMO4 Keith Craveridge, who retired in 3008.

 Retirement from the role of the MechWarrior is mandatory when you fail the yearly tests. If you have less than 15 years of service, you will be transferred within the AFD (you will have some say in the position you will be tranferred to). If you are a warrant officer with more than 15 years of service, you may choose to retire from the military with full pension. If you are an officer, you will need to serve to the age of 45 in the military before you are eligible for a full pension.

 Some Secondary Pilots are promoted to Primary status when the former Primary Pilot retires or dies, but some secondary pilots have to retire from the military never gaining the prestigious Primary Pilot status.

		+
		+	When the Gallimonte treaty was signed in 2896 there were 35 BattleMechs privately owned by wealthy families in Cayerlon and Penegyar. The families had to relinquish the ownership of those 'Mechs, but they were granted Covenants of Possession - a privilege to choose the primary and secondary pilots for these BattleMechs. The pilots chosen still need to pass the AFD 'Mech training and the yearly tests just like any other MechWarrior.
		+
		+	There are currently 19 BattleMechs in service that are covered by a Covenant of Possession.
