The Civilian Pin is awarded to non-uniformed civilians who have passed through a rigorous set of qualifications which accredit them as one of two levels; the ‘Accredited Staff Member Pin’ or ‘ASM’ and ‘Chartered Staff Member Pin’ or ‘CSM’.

Summary

The ‘Civilian Pin’ is non-uniformed civilian centric award that is recognised on par with the current military Space Warfare Pin, (“SWP”) and as such is the only option for non-uniformed civilians in the Black Sphinx Cup Challenge.

The Civilian Pin Award is offered as a means of encouraging non-uniformed civilians to enter into the Black Sphinx Cup and aid their chapter by taking civilian themed courses and will permit the wearing of the relevant Civilian Pin – as appropriate to their non-uniformed civilian rank.

The Civilian Pin, is modelled closely on the Space Warfare Pin in that it has two levels, the Accredited Staff Member civilian ranks C1 – C11 (Junior / Senior Civil Servant) and the Chartered Staff Member civilian ranks C12 and above (Junior Minister / Minister).

Historical Background Black Sphinx Cup

The Black Sphinx Cup is an important event to many Chapters in the fleet, and everyone is encouraged to take part. Whilst non-uniformed civilian members are permitted to complete the courses and be awarded the Space Warfare Pin, they are not permitted to wear the SWP award.

As the non-uniformed branches grow in numbers, it is felt that the time is now right to offer an alternative which will be just as challenging, seek to broaden our members knowledge, and focus more on the civilian courses offered by the Landing University and the Mannheim University.

Use in TRMN

The Civilian Pin is a recognised non-uniformed civilian Award path and is included in the Black Sphinx Cup.

Applicability:

  • Open to all branches of TRMN.
    • Whilst members of other branches may earn this award – it does not count towards the SWP Chapter numbers. (Ref: Black Sphinx Cup Rule Book 2019 pg 31)

Authorised to Wear:

  • Members of the non-uniformed Civilian branches only:
    • The Diplomatic Corps
