I've had plenty of guys who are full up on the experience bar, but since BdU hasn't given me any promotions for my crew I can't promote them (well, except that I use SH3 Commander for medals/promotions and don't touch the barracks in game except for enlisting new crewmen whenever I have losses via deaths or transfers).
Also promotions are like medals and such, you either use them when you're there or you lose them for when you get back from the next patrol.

In barracks he is highlighted in blue. ( my cursor is no where near him). I guess my question still remains, how do I get the system to recognize completed patrols so I can promote this guy? |
Do you have available promotions?
When you look at the tabs, you have Medals/Badges, Qualifications, and there should be another for Promotions. It'll read how many promotions you've earned. If that's at 0 then you can't do that in-game.
However, to aleviate any frustrations you might have in the future for promotions I'd recommend getting SH3 Commander.

You can turn off the rest of the jazz you don't want, but that program makes crew management a whole lot easier. Yes it is easy to abuse the system, so it does require some form of self-control, but I couldn't live without it now.
Just make sure you take heed of the warning and do a rollback before you install any mods or etc. A rollback will put your SHIII back to stock (or back to stock-GWX if you run that mod) and take all the SHIII Commander changes (except those you make to your crew) out.
In my opinion SH3C also adds to the realism in the fact they won't let you hand out medals before they were historically available (such as the U-boat War badge and such). |
Thanks, That answers the promotion question. But why do I have guy's highlighted in blue? As well as it telling me I have to complete a patrol? Is that just a default untill promotions are avail? Maybe just a glitch. I'm not running any mods yet. Kinda wanted to get a handle on the stock ver first. I have looked over Commander and GWX Both look pretty darn cool. Any recomendations. Probably should post this in a new thread.
Thanks to all who gave me input. Glad there are those out there willing to take the time to help out a newbie.
