Sometimes you have much more Tribunes than you would need without making SPQR a horsemen faction. In this case I reduce their term to five years and let them serve by seniority. The youngbloods that are in waiting stay in Rome for the time.

Every Tribune is assigned to a specific Legion (i.e. half-stack). He is always where his Legion is, be it in garrison duty either in Italy or a province or out in the fields. He might as well do administrative work; for example when in provincial duty on guard where a governor is missing for a minor town where parts of the local Legion is billeted, or on campaign in newly conquered settlements.

The fact that a single Tribune is moving around with a specific Legion for up to ten years makes it also easy to identify the unit, like "The Legion of Tribune Marcvs Cornelivs Scipio that had been raised in Capua".

Also, what do you do for newly adopted FM's who are appear too old to go to school or be a junior assistant. (i.e. adopting 30+ yr old members). What on earth do you do with them?
I would reject suitors over 25 years. Adoptees are considered to have achieved what would be normal for their age; for example, having served 10 years for a 30+ years adoptee. I would nevertheless keep them in Rome for about a year or two to allow them collecting ancillaries.
