No there is no problem with that. The procedure is
1. Finish the patrol and exit to the main menu (or the game if you like) In here the game status will be 'in base after mission'
2. Load up your save game (either from the main menu or via SH3Cmd/SH3.exe)
3. Hand over your medals and upgrade your sub. In here the game status will be 'In base before mission'
4. Start new patrol

If you don't hand over the medals BEFORE you start the new patrol (step 4 above) then you lose them. If you exit after the patrol finishes the game status is 'in base before patrol' so you can still handle medals and do upgrades. I would suggest you give medals and do upgrades when your status is 'In base before mission' as the game gets a bit confused some times (aka stock bug)
