I just renewed my Advanced last month. If I live to 90 10 years from now,
will I revert to General or will it matter? When I was teaching 6th grade,
one of my students told me that isn't the age that counts, it's the mileage!

> In effect, this is lifetime Credit for all written Elements ever passed.

> Since the FCC no longer issues Advanced Class Licenses, former holders of
