Order Text

Re:	BuShips Directive 2401-05, List of Honor Submission Period Now Open

As of 0001Hrs, January 21, 2024, the submission period is open for the List of Honor.

Chapter CO’s shall submit submissions to buships@trmn.org no later than 2359(CDT) on February 20th, 2024.

The List of Honor Citation:

The highest honor a ship can receive is to be named to the RMN List of Honor. This is open to all Manticoran hyper-capable chapters in organization.

This is a highly competitive award. The award eligibility period is from 1 January 2023 through 31 December 2023.

Keep in mind as well that it is entirely possible for a ship to not be named on the List of Honor for each awarding period.

Due to the high caliber of this award, I encourage you to write detailed and clever submissions:

Since a ship action or singular event places a ship on the List of Honor in the books (Such as HMS Fearless on Basilisk Station,) only ship actions taken/performed during the 2023 calendar year are to be considered.

Chapters that have received the award in the past have done well with a chronological review of the year for which they submitted their winning bid, providing photos, citing After Action and Chapter Reports, and collecting letters of endorsement from their chain of command. I encourage you to be creative with your submissions and strive to tell us what really makes your chapter stand out. Take time to add metrics into the narrative, like hours worked, money raised, food collected, and other similar things of that nature. Make sure you focus on what the chapter achieved as a whole, we’re not looking for individual awards or single member achievements.

Again, due to the caliber of the award, the selection committee will be looking over these submissions thoroughly, and at the submitted chapters in MEDUSA and our historical registries. This includes both after action reports and chapter reports filed throughout calendar year 2023.

If your chapter has been placed on the List of Honor in the past, you must have waited at least three years from the time it was awarded before submission for a subsequent award.

Details for the List of Honor may be found on page 89 of the Awards Manual or on: http://wiki.trmn.org/wiki/index.php/List_of_Honor_Citation

If you have any questions about the submission process, please contact buships@trmn.org, we will be happy to clarify and respond to any inquiries.

We will accept submissions from ship CO’s ONLY at buships@trmn.org no later than 2359(CDT) on February 21st, 2024. Any submission received from a source other than that chapter or ship's CO will be rejected.

If any echelon commanders wish to support a chapter submission, they can send a letter of endorsement to be attached to the submission being sent by ship’s CO. Please refrain from sending them separately, as they may be accidentally overlooked or not linked with the Chapter’s Submission.

Any and all submissions received after the deadline of 2359(CDT) on February 21st, 2024 will be rejected.

An announcement for the selection results shall be made no later than 28th of February, 2024. In Service,

Issued by:

Justin Dupras, GCE, SC, OG, DSO

Vice Admiral of the Red, RMN

Third Space Lord, Bureau of Ships
