Qualifications, yes.

  • Since an "unqualified" petty officer is a contradiction in terms, I qualify all of my POs after their first patrol (1 qual each). They wouldn't be petty officers unless they are qualified.
  • For the same reason, I never qualify sailors.
  • I kit out officers with 1, 2 or 3 quals depending on rank.
Promotions, yes. If the sailor, PO or officer has the points, then yes. Promotions are a largely bureaucratic exercise in most navies.

Medals, guided somewhat by the game, and award through SH3Commander. Since the number of medals are largely determined by the success of the patrol, I usually follow the game suggestion. Awarding though SH3 Commander is just easier than the game interface.
