Re: Operational Awards, Marscon 2017
GRYPHON FLEET ORDER 1704-D, 11APR2017
My thanks to the personnel who conducted Royal Manticoran Navy operations at Marscon, held in Bloomington, Minnesota, 3-5 March 2017. This was a fleet level event with a party room, and despite this being the fifth consecutive year of TRMN operations at this con, our participating personnel still recruited several new members. All awards are effective 11 April 2017.
The following personnel are awarded the HAVENITE OPERATIONAL SERVICE MEDAL for their participation at Marscon 2017:
CDRE Justin Grays, CO Task Force 21

The following officer performed qualifying service for the HOS, but was previously awarded this medal in 2017:
CAPTJG Garret Bitker, HMS Merlin
I wish to make special mention of the distinguished service of HMS Merlin’s crew members who participated. Simply in terms of the volunteer hours they put in, their contribution is off the scale. More than that, their attitude toward service is outstanding, and they are further reinforcing the fine “First in the Fleet” tradition that earned this ship the Royal Meritorious Unit Citation recently.
The Tradition Lives!
