Try adding an 'X' to one of the patrols and see if that sorts it.

It's a known bug that crops up every now an then, without a known cause. The solution is to change the name of your Commander's folder where the savegames are stored. Go here:

(My) Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers\

Change the folder name of the commander that is lost. When you start up the game the savegames should show up.

Thanks for helping me find where careers are stored. Having to reinstall from scratch thanks to AVG. Again. Exception list sorted this time.
