Surprised by sudden ending of career

Greetings fellow Kaleun's!

A couple of weeks ago I finally started playing SHIII, with the GWX3.0, SHIII Commander (latest version), JSGME, and SHIIIGen addtions. I started my career in Kiel with the 1st Flotilla in a type IIA, U7 (although I noted that historically U7 was a type IIB) at the beginning of the war around the end of August '39 . All went fairly well for a newbie. I completed 9 patrols, always fulfilled the patrol requirements (reach grid XX, patrol grid XX for 24hrs, etc). Never lost a crewman, never had hull integrity less than 99%, never ran into anything, etc. During the course of 9 patrols I sank 8 ships for around 34,000 tons. Nothing impressive, but not too bad either for a "duck".

Last night when I started SHIII Commander prior to launching SHIII, I was greeted by a message to the effect that I was to turn the boat over to my IWO, return to Kiel and report for re-training - carrer ended!

Soooo....my question is what did I do wrong that I lost my command and got sent back to school? Granted, once while on leave, I did make a few disparaging remarks about the leadership of the OKM whilst drunk in a nightclub

I just started a new career in the 2nd flotilla out of Wilhelmshaven in a VIIB. If anyone has any advice, I'd appreciate it...don't want to have this repeated.

Cheers,
Scott
