Ick. Another use of {-law'} to indicate something other than degree of
certainty. There's a case for it, but it's really icky as far as I'm
concerned.

I don't think you receive a {yaH} "duty station." You need to say {Qu'mey
DIHevmeH} "receive tasks."
When stating a time at which something happens, the time comes at the
beginning of the sentence or phrase.
wa'maH wa' vatlh rep *Butera* Qe'HomDaq maghom.

maj! {ghoS} really does mean "head for" so much more than plain "go to."

KGT new word! {ngaj} "short (in duration)."
ngajmo' lengqoq ma'eqnIS.
(Assuming that you accept {-qoq} here; I have trouble with it.)
