How these awards will be issued.
We will be making an effort to back-date these awards as best we can. Those within the Navy who's past actions have been deserving of such recognition will be rewarded as they should be.
Notification will appear in this comms channel for any awards bestowed upon Liberty Navy officers.
// Basically folks. For any back-dated stuff, just drop me a line on skype and I'll sort out what needs to be done. If you or someone else needs something issues, it'll be done, but be patient with us... There's a lot of work that needs doing, and I'm sure as hell not scouring my way through pages and pages of message dumps to work out who needs what. You'll have to tell me.
Yes I am aware there are a few missing. They'll be added over time.//
