    i believe the actual requirement was 'ten campaigns' not necessarily ten years. in fact pre late republic it was very rare for armies to be away from their homes for even a year at a time. you have to remember, these are citizen soldiers, national guard types. with farms and businesses that must be tended to. yoeman farmers and all that.
