Subject: [PATCH] Post whole days to the board

The shared service ranks on integer columns, so a patrol that ended with 9.4
days on the orders posts 9. The report screen still shows the tenth, which is
where it means something -- on a board it would be measuring the dice rather
than the captain.

 There is no way to clear it. A captain leaves the list only by being pushed
 off the bottom by a better one.
