fitz,

i was re-reading your post when i saw your question at the end.

if the three-patrols-comment pertains to the verbiage in your award announcement, the issue seems to be part of a disconnect within SH4. those of us who dig into this mess (aka SH4) have a SWAG that part of the programming that relates to missions started their counting at zero, which is what programmers do, from time to time. another part of missions started counting at one, which is also something that programmers do. unfortunately, Ubi never put the the award certificate through any user-acceptance-testing and the zero-start met the one-start and this is the result.

that's the short story told long.

it has absolutely nothing to do with the length of your patrols. your crew's requests for transfer, however, are a direct result of your five month patrols.
