Lets talk with words, not swords, tonight.
Summary:
Warders:
Anyone, from any background may be a Warder (Bonded to an Aes Sedai) or Trainee (students of the Warders in Tar Valon).
Based on the time and monetary investment weapons training often occurs, it tends to favor those with an excess of both, i.e. nobility and the independently wealthy.
To date, the Trainees are predominantly composed of nobly born young men who have been sent to study combat of all forms from the masters.
Trainees are not bound to Aes Sedai or the Tower. When they feel their training is complete, there is no formal assessment.* Most commonly they return to their homelands, travel the world, or join the Tower guard, Warder training adding to their prestige.
Those of extraordinary skill may be asked by an Aes Sedai to Bond with her and become her Warder. With increasing numbers of women being raised to the Shawl, the number of Warders being chosen from within the Trainees has risen, but it is not their official function. Aes Sedai still frequently meet and bond their Warders during their travels away from Tar Valon.
In addition to their traditional role of supervising Trainees, Tower-bound Warders have also taken on a more general training of the Tower Guard. After the events surrounding Tarmon Gai’don, and the Guard falling, Warders have seen fit to create a more elite military force for the defense of Tar Valon as a whole, as they see to the needs of their individual bonded sisters.

Green Ajah:
An interesting idea Jenny had was teaming up with the Reds in recruitment
Kay: Also, we have Reds acting as sort of OP peacekeepers; that could be a joint responsibility
From Alinora: would either Greens or Reds or both have anything to do with non One Power related crime?
Kay: I've pitched Grays as acting as judges/investigators Alianora , but that may be an area for crossover too?
Ian: Green are described as "battle" so maybe they work alongside/akin to Earth in disaster relief in the new era?
Kay: Ooooh. That's a good call. Maybe more rivalry than assistance, though? We have them Red aligned and likely taking losses during Rahlin's thing
Jair: I guess if there is a disaster it would be a combo of yellows, blues, and greens most likely sent to help? Because if they are into soup kitchens, disaster relief might be a cause they care about too? I can see them being like political activists and those are usually disaster volunteers.

Ian: I could see the Green's being more about studying battle tactics as well, we talked about the BT doing military training so maybe the Green's start to push for that as well otherwise?
Jenny: And with Mira as the head, I would say she'd definitely push for more battle tactics
Kay: I haven't nailed it down yet, but I'm sure one of the Academies is a military one (leaning Mantheren) Maybe they're involved there too?
Nat: why did the Green shift away from the Blue and to the Red, though? any thoughts too?
Kay: I haven't nailed it down yet, but I'm sure one of the Academies is a military one (leaning Mantheren) Maybe they're involved there too?
Nat: why did the Green shift away from the Blue and to the Red, though? any thoughts too?
Jair: they have more in common with reds now
Kay: Partly the decline of the Blue, the realignment of the Red's priorities and ties to the BT, and losses in the War are my votes
Ian: I'm sure Zamira and Avy's influence also had something to do with it, though maybe not publicly
Jair/Kay: Shift happened before their time
Jair/Kay: Shift happened before their time
Nat: maybe because out of all the Ajahs/Legions, the Red and Fire, and Green and Earth
are the most interconnected?
in a way, perhaps the Red and Green and Fire and Earth were the bulk of the connections between the two Towers? (everyone liked this)
Kay: We may want to save this for the Black Ajah party, but it's worth wondering why/how the Greens got so compromised

Nat: perhaps because out of all the Ajahs that stood best against the Shadow, it was the Greens?
Jair: I honestly think both of them were just meant to be Greens and it happened that way b/c it fits their characters
note after the fact: I feel like mentioning the coincidence would be fun IC, but I don't know that it should have been their plan all along
Jenny: So to recap: Fighting in the borderlands, recruiting with reds, aiding with disaster relief... Anything else?
Kay: Military theory and study
Nat: oooh maybe exploration of Shara, other unknown lands?
