What if there is a hidden variable, like you have to complete X amount of patrols and get this amount of renown to get a medal/promotion. It could also be broken, as you get X amount of renown, but not X amount of patrols, so you would not get the medal until the next patrol.
Actually I think renown by itself is fine for awarding medals, since historically it was not necessary to complete X number of patrols to earn them if what you accomplished during your patrols (or even only one patrol) was deemed worthy of a decoration.

But I was just thinking today that using # of patrols completed (which would bring in more of a "passage of time" variable) in conjunction with renown for successes while on patrol would be a cool way of giving out promotions.
