'''Fleet Order 1608-A''' was issued '''1 May 2016''' by Commanding Officer [[Second Fleet]]. This order issued awards for CONvergence 2016, a fleet-level event.

}}

Effective this Star Kingdom Day, 1 AUGUST 2016, by my authority as Commanding Officer 2nd Fleet, I announce the following awards for operational service at the Second Fleet event CONvergence, 30 JUN-3 JUL 2015.

In terms of number of volunteers (54 TRMN personnel) and number of hours worked (hundreds), CONvergence comprises the largest TRMN convention operations on planet Earth, outside of our own HonorCon and MantiCon, including the TRMN party room, two fully immersive Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulators, and the "Trevor’s Star Checkpoint," one of the convention’s badging checkpoints, which is organized, scheduled, and staffed entirely by TRMN personnel.

The following personnel are awarded the HAVENITE OPERATIONAL SERVICE MEDAL for their volunteer participation in Royal Manticoran Navy operations at CONvergence 2016:

Particular MENTION in this Dispatch is given to the following personnel for their EXCEPTIONAL “above and beyond” volunteer participation in Royal Manticoran Navy operations at CONvergence 2016:

CPTJG Garret Bitker, HMS Merlin, bartender extraordinaire, and a shining exemplar of volunteer service to the organization. He attends this major event for the express purpose of volunteering all weekend, and he delivers.

INM2 Sophia Bull, HMS Valkyrie, for stepping in at the last minute to cover galley duties, and cheerfully working and astounding amount of hours behind the curtain, and watching out for her fellow members.

CPTSG Brian Horton, HMS Intrepid, is cited as "the epitome of volunteering, service, leadership, and an excellent example of how to look out for each other over this four day event." Additionally, his wiring and repair expertise and extensive continued hard work are vital to keeping the Bridge Simulator flying.

CDR Jeremy Kittleson, HMS Merlin, was everywhere, volunteering a stunning number of hours in all aspects of the operations, and stepping up to cover last minute staff shortages.

ENS Grace Luberda, HMS Merlin, brings great positive energy to TRMN party room operations, and is recognized for her service, exceptional both in quality and quantity.

My personal thanks to ALL of the TRMN personnel who work to make these operations a success!

The Tradition Lives!
