Summary0002349: So & So has become a ______
DescriptionHappens to dwarves in military, alternating between civilian jobs and their military positions.

I suspect this is a 'feature' to tell you when the squad is starting/stopping training for the month, but I'm being bombarded by every military dwarf's announcements. Perhaps one notification for the squad would suffice?

Yeah these messages are annoying, and sometimes meaningless, for example "Urist McMilitiaCommander has become Militita Commander" no matter if he switches to civilian or back. It is also easy to miss more important profession change messages between them, for example when someone gains a skill.

Part of this is 0001789. The rest is intended behavior -- it's annoying, but it's not a bug. You can post a suggestion here: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=5.0 [^]
