Re: OPERATIONAL AWARDS, HONORCON 2015 (FLEET ORDER 1603-A)
The following Second Fleet personnel participated at Honorcon in Raleigh, NC 30OCT-1NOV 2015. Each of them performed qualifying activity for both the HAVENITE WAR CAMPAIGN MEDAL and the SILESIAN ANTI-PIRACY MEDAL:
COL John Debnam, RMMC, MarDet Invincible
CAPTJG Sherman Day, HMS Gallant
CDR Jackie Snedden, HMS Ajax
SBP2 Paulette Kilgore, HMS Intrepid
INM3 Sophia Bull, HMS Valkyrie
PO3 Justin Birt, HMS Sabrepike
SDP3 Ursula Day, HMS Gallant
All of the above except for INM3 Bull previously were awarded both of these awards in 2015. INM3 Bull is hereby awarded the HWM and SAPC effective 1 NOV 2015. Any of the above that were not actually awarded either of these previously in 2015 is hereby awarded effective 1 NOV 2015.
The After Action Reports I have received indicate that every one of these seven members volunteered for many hours, going far above and beyond mere qualification. I wish to extend my thanks and personal commendation for the way that they have represented the excellence of Gryphon Fleet to the rest of the organization at an Admiralty Level event. Further, it has become apparent that the service of this Magnificent Seven at Honorcon is the tip of the iceberg, representative of the excellent service each of them renders to the organization year round. Therefore, by my authority as Commanding Officer, Second Fleet, the following personnel are hereby awarded the MERITORIOUS SERVICE MEDAL:
COL John Debnam, RMMC, MarDet Invincible
CAPTJG Sherman Day, HMS Gallant
CDR Jackie Snedden, HMS Ajax
SBP2 Paulette Kilgore, HMS Intrepid
INM3 Sophia Bull, HMS Valkyrie
PO3 Justin Birt, HMS Sabrepike
SDP3 Ursula Day, HMS Gallant

Re: Operational Awards,Who’s Yer Con 2017
GRYPHON FLEET ORDER 1704-A, 4APR2017
My thanks to the personnel who conducted Royal Manticoran Navy operations at Who’s Yer Con, held in Indianapolis, IN, 31 March-2 April 2017. This was a fleet level event with a recruiting table, and our participating personnel recruited nine new members for the local chapter, as well as members for a chapter in a neighboring state. Well done! All awards are effective 4 April 2017.
The following personnel are awarded the HAVENITE OPERATIONAL SERVICE MEDAL for their participation at Who’s Yer Con 2017:
CAPTJG Jackie SNEDDEN, HMS Ajax
CDR Christina SWANSON, HMS Gryphon
ENS Scott SOMERVILLE, HMS Gryphon
SCPO Brad HANDLEY, HMS Ajax
PSGT Paula HANDLEY, RMMC, HMS Ajax
The following personnel performed qualifying service for the HOS, but were previously awarded this medal in 2017:
CAPTSG Sherman DAY, CO Task Force 22
CAPTJG Geoff STRAYER, HMS Demon
The following personnel are awarded the SILESIAN ANTI-PIRACY MEDAL, for travelling a qualifying distance to participate at Who’s Yer Con 2017:
CAPTJG Jackie SNEDDEN, HMS Ajax
SCPO Brad HANDLEY, HMS Ajax
PSGT Paula HANDLEY, RMMC, HMS Ajax
The following personnel are awarded the NAVY/MARINE ACHIEVEMENT MEDAL, for their initiative in acquiring from Baen Books a set of display plates of Honorverse series book jackets, which greatly enhanced the presentation of the recruiting table operation:

CDR Christina SWANSON is hereby MENTIONED IN DISPATCHES for her planning and executing this operation. She worked with the convention and paid the fees for the table and a TRMN advertisement in the program book from her own pocket, and without her this successful operation to promote The Royal Manticoran Navy would not have happened in the first place.

Re: Toys for Tots Drive thanks (Fleet Order 1512-A)
I wish to publicly recognize the Marine Detachments of Battle Division 11 for their initiative and hard work in conceiving, promoting, coordinating, and executing a drive that netted 358 gifts donated to Toys for Tots. It is highly appropriate that our own Royal Manticoran marines take the lead in our participation in a charitable program run by the USMC Reserve. Particular mention is given to COL Bryar Nelson of MarDet Invincible and SSGT Jess Dunow of MarDet Valkyrie for coordinating their ships’ efforts. Thanks to ALL TRMN members who donated to the drive. Together we make a big splash, and that is one of the great potentials of a club like this.
The Tradition Lives! (CAN DO!)
