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 an award issued to members of the Diplomatic and Special Intelligence Service (SIS) branches who successfully complete a rigorous set of courses. The “Civilian Pin” is designed to be challenging and aims to broaden members' knowledge of TRMN, history and the sciences. Many of the courses on the programme are to be found in Landing University and the Mannheim University.

Whilst the Civilian Pin can only be worn by the non-uniformed branch members, ALL branches of TRMN who have completed the courses may submit applications to take part in this programme.

Background

The Black Sphinx Cup (which ran from 2016 to 2019) was an interChapter competition aimed at encouraging chapter members to under take a series of courses with the goal of achieving the Space Warfare Pin (“SWP”). It was an important event to many Chapters in the fleet, and everyone was encouraged to take part.

Launched early in 2019, the “Civilian Pin” was recognised as the only option for members of the Diplomatic Corps or the Special Intelligence Service  and would be counted towards the total of their Chapter’s ‘Space Warfare Pin’ Challenge.

Current

At the time of writing there are some 6000 members in TRMN of which there are 268 Diplomatic and SIS members. Whilst the cessation of the Challenge Cup may have altered the original goal, the underlying intention, one of having fun whilst learning at the same time remains unchanged. It is the intention of the Home Secretary to continue to develop this programme and to incorporate it into our daily TRMN lives.

Civilian Pin

The Civilian Pin is awarded to members of either the Diplomatic Corps (CIVIL DIP) or the Crown Intelligence Service (CIV INTEL) who have completed a rigorous set of qualifying courses.

The Civilian Pin has two distinct levels: the ‘Accredited Staff Member Pin’ or ‘ASM’ and ‘Chartered Staff Member Pin’ or ‘CSM’.


‘Accredited Staff Member’ or ‘ASM’

The ‘Accredited Staff Member Pin’ or ‘ASM’ is awarded to members who serve in either Diplomatic Corps (CIVIL DIP) or the Crown Intelligence Service (CIV INTEL) Civilian and who have achieved the awarded to civilian rank of C1 through to C11 (Junior / Senior Civil Servant.)

Once achieved, Ministers may continue to wear the Accredited Staff Member (ASM) until they have completed the requirements for the Chartered Staff Member Pin (CSM).

The ASM is represented by a silver pin.


‘Chartered Staff Member’ or ‘CSM’

The Chartered Staff Member’ or ‘CSM’ is awarded to members who serve in either Diplomatic Corps (CIVIL DIP) or the Crown Intelligence Service (CIV INTEL) Civilian and who have achieved the Paygrade of C12 and above (Junior Minister / Minister).

Although Senior Civil Servants may complete the academic qualifications for this pin, they may not be recognised to wear it until they achieve the paygrade of C12.

The CSM is represented by a gold pin.

Authorisation to Wear the Civilian Pin

The Civilian Pin, either the ASM or the CSM is authorised to be worn on formal civilian Court dress only and for example, may be displayed on the lapel of a tail coat or jacket.

It is not permitted, for example, to wear the pin on a con-min polo shirt.

Recognition

Once all the requisite courses have been completed – the student will download and complete the appropriate form (see "See Also") and send as an attachment to the Regent – Star Kingdom University. Recipients of the Civilian Pin Award will be announced bi-monthly by the Home Secretary.
