You'd think that just by virtue of posting messages at this site, that someone is keeping track or something... :happy:

Its to do with the number of log entries you make, it means you have been promoted to an Ordinary Seaman.
When you have 50 log entries you will get 2 gold bars and become an Able Seaman which I think I have just become.

PS having checked it seems to be automatic and takes place immediately.

Congrats on your butter-bar, Michael, and on your second Don.

Yep, it's automatic, a software feature common in many board-ware platforms.

Having served in the USAF I can assure it's the same in real life...first couple are for showing up and breathing, then you have to work for it.
