ORIGINAL: F106A
They may have changed the rule, but they issued me two numbers.
My number is 79669, my son's is 79670. When I enrolled my two grandsons I wanter to keep the sequence, so I called DM, who was Dist II VP at the time, he checked with Muncie and I got 79667 and 79668 for my grandsons.

But that only works if it's availble. I had the same experiance my original number was 80026, when my now ex wife joined in 1994 I asked for as near a sequential number as possible and got 80028 because it was available. When I became a CD I droped one zero and got 8026.
They're flexible if your're polite.
And no...there's a huge database that tracks all your crashes and moves them to your new number. Only the good landings stay with your old number
