Yes, command assignments went out to the SubRon commanders from BuPers, and each cycle patrol orders were sent out to the SubRon commanders from ComSubPac. The Squadron CO's would then pass the assignments out to their skippers.
After their patrols, the members would write up a patrol report and send it to their CO's & ComSubPac. As in real life, some were prolific writers and others submitted their basic patrol results. Awards & decorations were presented to the skippers using a secret criteria, and then the next cycle would begin.
It was a lot of fun but also a lot of work for the brass. As the membership numbers went down there were fewer people to take leadership positions, and some were doing double & even triple duty, plus their own patrols.
Yes, a lot of fun while it lasted .... and wonderful people too. I still have 'real' friendships with some PTC alumni : )
Happy Hunting!
