It’s election time again, and it’s time to encourage you to get out and vote. Regardless of your personal political or social alignment, voting is how you get your voice out there. And despite what you may think, your vote can indeed matter.
I have never voted in a ‘swing state’. Illinois is going to swing Democrat, pulled by Chicago and the surrounding counties. Alabama will swing Republican. And voting to the contrary won’t change that at this time.
What it does do is show your team that they have people out there. If no one in a locked in state or area voted for the minority party, then the view gets skewed. From the dominant party thinking they have more support than they might, to the minority party not realizing how close to change they might be; not voting just makes things worse. When political figures declare a clear mandate of the people when they barely win, a massive landslide will make that easier to claim.
So, get out there, vote, and encourage your friends and family to vote as well! Every vote, even for the losing candidate, matters and sends information to both parties. Even if you don’t support the locally dominant party, your vote tells your team that they have support.

Chapter Reports
This is a reminder that your Chapter and MarDet reports are due between the 1st and 10th of every EVEN numbered month. One thing I found amazingly helpful when filling them out was to use an online document (Google Docs, Word Online) to keep things organized as they happened. Then, when the reporting month hit, I could just copy and paste them into the reports form, and be done. No trying to remember what happened two months ago at the last minute!
And a reminder that Marksmanship submissions are due the 20th of the month, so we have time to correlate and get things set for the award issuance.
Marines – you now have a new online form to fill out for Bi-Monthly reports. The link is below. It will send the reports to your command triad, your Ship’s CO and to ComForceCom. Please use this form to send in your report that is due on the 5th.
There is only one stipulation with the form at this time. Please do not use autofill. Autofill does not work properly and that information is deleted in the report. You can copy and paste information into the report but forgo the autofill function.

MARCON 2023
From one running convention promotion to another! It’s all about the conventions in Second Fleet these days.
MARCON 2023 will be held in Columbus, OH over Memorial Day weekend, and is being run by a member of HMS Vixen. Honestly, this is kind of something I was wanting to explore for several years – a non-TRMN convention run by a TRMN member, so this is great!
What is Marcon? The simplest answer is a weekend of fun. It is where everyone that enjoys movies, books, music, art, science, and everything in between comes together in one place to watch, talk about, dress like, sing, and/or learn from like minded people, be they writers, actors, scientists, artists, professionals of all kinds, or simply fans. MARCON has been running since 1966, and I hope it keeps going.
Of special interest to us is David Weber as GoH. He was last the Guest of Honor 20 years ago, so it is time to return to Columbus for the weekend and show our support!
JUST ANNOUNCED! Register using the code TRMN and the convention will donate $5 towards our party room! Click below to get registered!
Teddy Bear Drive 2022
Attention Members of the TRMN and Friends:
The Imperial Andermani Navy (IAN) has again decided to collect funds to purchase teddy bears for youth in Canadian, US, Great Britain/Ireland, German/Austrian, and Czech Republic hospitals and/or care facilities. Members of participating branches/fleets will then bring them to a local hospital of your branch/fleet’s choice for the bears to be distributed to youth in need of some love and a cuddly friend.
The teddy bear is about 12-inches tall and come in individually sealed plastic packaging to minimize any health risks.
The cost per bear is about $10 each in the US (prices vary for our Canadian, Great Britain/Ireland, German/Austrian, and Czech Republic members), but we will take all of the donations from a branch/fleet and aggregate them. At the end of the drive, we will purchase the bears in bulk and then send them to your branch/fleet’s designated coordinator for distribution. For ease of shipping, the number of bears each branch/fleet will receive may be rounded up or down based on the number of bears in a case.
Every individual who donates $25 or more (or the equivalent in US dollars) will also receive a handsome patch mailed directly to their home. Finally, we will provide a list of donations to the Administrator of the Office of the Order of Queen Elizabeth for credit toward your Grand Alliance Campaign Medal. (Please do not submit this yourself).
This is a great way for the TRMN to support children during a very difficult time in their lives. Let’s see which TRMN branches/fleets can make the most impact between now and November 27, 2022. After this date, the donation period will end and we will need to bulk-order the bears.
To register and donate, go HERE.
Upcoming Events
The Bureau of Planning is excited to announce the launch of ConStack. This cooperative project between BuPlan and BuComm is now a fabulous new tool that puts information about over 2,000 conventions at your fingertips. All members of TRMN and the public can view ConStack at:

Gryphon’s Wings Fleet Relief Project
On May 23rd we launched the Gryphon’s Wings Fleet Relief Project. The response has been overwhelming, and I am humbled by the generosity of our members.
We are currently in the midst of a Global pandemic. However, while we are all in the same storm, we are navigating the waters on different ships. Sometimes these waters will be more than we can handle on our own, and we need an extra hand on deck. We want you to know that the 2nd fleet is here for you.
To that end, we are asking for donations to create an emergency relief fund to be used for TRMN 2nd Fleet members. This fund’s target is to provide immediate short term relief of an urgent crisis. For example: Sending someone grocery money for a weeks worth of groceries (as a lot of food banks are running out of food, short on volunteers, and closing), providing gas money for a week so someone can still travel back and forth providing care-giving to a family member, covering the co-pay cost of a doctors visit, and other small emergency expenses. Anything helps. I am asking for a $5 monthly commitment – the cost of a Starbucks coffee – to assist. Please join me, and those who have already donated, in making TRMN more than just a fan group. Click here, or the banner below, to donate. Meet the Test.
At the same time, we know some are being affected by the effort to combat the virus,including job loss, other reduction of income, medical difficulties, etc. This can result in a tough choice between shelter, transportation, food, or medical care. That is an impossible choice no one should be required to face, and we want to help how we can.
To apply for a Visa Gift Card for you or another member, please click here.
Only the 2nd Fleet CO will see who the requester and/or the potential recipient is. This will never be held against you in any way. We don’t ask for or expect repayment. This is not charity, we are simply keeping the RMN tradition of seeing that a Queen’s Navy is well rested, well fed, and healthy before going into battle. And this is a battle where victory will be measured in not just survivors but in the quality of that survival.
