SH3 (and presumably SH4) careers always update one patrol late. This caused a lot of problems with SH3 Commander. I assume the career patrol files are kept in some temporary file until they're overwritten by the next patrol, at which time they're written to the permanent file. It's just another example of the unintuitive and ass-backwards way the code in this game seems to work (or not work).

There still may be a bug here - personally I've yet to be forcibly retired so I can't say for sure either way, but one thing is for sure - this needs to be optional - you should always be asked if you want to retire. If it's a feature it needs to be made optional and if it's a bug it needs to be fixed.
