I've noticed SH3 is very buggy though.

For example, while doing the Naval artillery training mission, I sunk all 5 boats and yet "Sink all merchant ships" objective said incomplete.

IIRC there are more than 5 ships available to sink. Some can get quite far off while you're busy sinking the ones that are closest to your starting position. I had trouble determining exactly which ships were the "required" ones and which were there for "bonus points." I solved this problem by sinking everything I could find, lol. (Or I might be remembering the torpedo exam, it's been a while. But I think it's the same ships for both exams.)

While doing the Flak Artillery mission I shot down a bunch of airplanes and it said mission complete, but when I pressed Escape to end mission and go back to the main menu it says "No exam yet". Hmm.

I didn't play much stock before GWX so I don't know if there's anything buggy in the Academy setup or not... but I know there are two options when you load one of the Academy tutorial "missions" - Training or Exam. They're at the top left of the screen. Make sure you've selected Exam before you click Start, or your performance won't count as your Exam score because the game will consider it a training run-through. (I think Training is the default). You can redo the Exam so it's not like you're stuck with whatever score you get the first time.
