[HEMISENT]

Just installed the latest Commander-so far works great. I love the idea of
listing destroyed ships names in the log. All of the options, settings and gameplay settings work perfectly.
My question revolves around the crew qualifications section.
Heres the sequence I follow and please advise what I'm doing wrong.
Start new career thru SH3 Commander, set desired year & Flotilla
Launch SHIII
Choose same year & flotilla
Run first mission
After completion of first mission exit game.
Start SH3 Commander
Choose the existing career
Go to: Actions/Click for available actions/Go to crew manager
(at this point I should be able to assign crew qualifications to individual personnel..I think)
EXAMPLE;
I choose a stabsbootsman named Johann Jantz from the roster on the left. his name and rank come up along with suggestions box which says I may want to award him an Iiron Cross 2nd class. I click on the desired medal, the "Apply" box lights up, I click on that and.....nothing.
I then go to available qualifications and click on Radioman icon, the "Apply" box lights up and....nothing.
I know I'm doing something wrong here. As I understand it I should be able to hand out quals in base before start of next mission. Exactly where I'm at right now before I hit "Launch SHIII"

I'm a big fan of SH3 Commander from the beginning but I have never been able to get the awards/qualifications function to work for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
