  Congratulations!

  I really like this grid design for an 11 x 11 and you used some very interesting themers.

  FYI there are some inconsistencies in clues (tense, number, part of speech, meaning, etc.) with their entries. The grid looks great so it may be worth an edit pass to make it even better.

    Any discrepancies you can spot? I'll fix them.

      Sure! The (few) things that stuck out more:

      32D has a plural clue and a singular entry.

      In 25A, COL is usually the abbreviation for “colonel”, which is a relatively senior commissioned officer rank. You could change it to CPL for corporal, which is the NCO rank just below SGT.

      9D I think would read better as “pranks a house”, maybe for grammatical consistency.

      Even more minor issues that might just be opinion:

      In 33A I think it’s customary to hint that you’re using a British spelling, but probably more up to you.

      In 24D SORES evokes something other than “achy spots” (but it was gettable).

      20D felt a tiny bit off — maybe titles rather than prefixes? May be a matter of taste.

      15A was just unfamiliar to me but is probably fine.
