Awards will be presented on an annual basis with the exception of certain awards, which will be issued as needed throughout the year. It is hoped that this recognition will help spawn a new level of inter-Regional and inter-ship/shuttle interest between each member and chapter in this Region. In order to merge this Region’s Award Program with Fleet’s International Awards, we have used the criteria for their awards with ours to make things easier on all concerned. We have also merged the Starfleet Marine Awards Program in with this one so as to further complete our recognition of “ALL” members in this Region. Criteria for the Fleet Awards (http://www.lizsdesktop.com/sfiawards/index.html) and the Marine Awards (http://www.sfi-sfmc.org/tracom/sectiontext.php?thissect=FORCECOMAWARDS) have come directly from their web pages and were copied and pasted into this document verbatim so as not to confuse or misinterpret anything. Under the sections named List of Awards and Awards Criteria, details concerning what needs to be met to earn each award are discussed and spelled out specifically. The Marine Awards are listed at the end of the program in a section of its own in order to keep the two programs separate since they are both run differently. As in any major program, certain guidelines must be established concerning how the program will be set up, run and managed. It is with this in mind that this Awards Program Manual has been created for your information and guidance. I am aware that changes will need to be made to this document as this program grows with the needs, desires of the Region and it members, and with the changes made to the three awards programs utilized here. Please feel free to submit your ideas, suggestions, comments, and recommendations to the Awards Director at fuzzywolfpaws@bellsouth.net so this Program can continue to meet your every expectation. One of the major changes in this program is that you must enter and win a Regional award BEFORE you can be considered for a Fleet Award. Please note some awards can be submitted directly to Fleet by the chapter concerned. These Awards are the Overseas Coupon Project, Stampede, Newsletter Competition, and Web Awards. All others must go through the Region first and the region winners forwarded to fleet. This is usually done by the Region Coordinator or their designated representative (Vice Regional Coordinator or Region Awards Director). Marine Awards will be judged under a different system in order to comply with the Marine Awards Program Directives. Nominees for Fleet Awards come from the winners of Regional Awards or if the region has no Awards Program, from the RC. Since this Region has an Awards Program, entries submitted by individuals to the Fleet Awards Director for consideration will be returned unless it is one of the four awards allowed by Fleet for direct submission. Nominations will need to be made by either the RC or the Awards Program Director to be accepted. This means that if you want to shoot for the GOLD, you need to win in the Region first. Here’s wishing you all the very best of luck and hope to see your name cross my desk soon. STARFLEET gives annual awards to individuals and groups that best exemplify the ideals of STARFLEET and Gene Roddenberry. It is an occasion to recognize those members who quietly and efficiently go about doing things for STARFLEET and the community and who make a difference in our World. According to the Fleet Awards Program, these are the guidelines for submissions: * Each Region submits nominees for the Annual Awards, which are chosen by the STARFLEET Executive Committee. * Annual Awards are presented each year at the STARFLEET International Conference. * Each Regional Coordinator or authorized representative may submit one nomination per category per year. * Nominations may be submitted via e-mail or USPS mail. * Please contact the Awards Director via Starfleet’s Awards Programs Director of Awards: Liz Woolf awards@sfi.org ; lizwoolf@gmail.com or http://www.lizsdesktop.com/sfiawards/ to receive a form if you wish to submit nominations via USPS mail. To submit nominations via e-mail, please use the online form (http://www.lizsdesktop.com/sfiawards/submit.html). Yours in Service, Adm. Barbara M. Paul R2 Awards Program Director fuzzywolfpaws@bellsouth.net OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES The Awards Committee will consist of the following nine (9) members: Region 2 Chief of Awards Region 2 Vice-Chief of Awards Region 2 Regional Coordinator Region 2 Vice Regional Coordinator Region 2 Chief of Computer Operations Region 2 Chief of Shuttle Operations Command R2 Recruiting Officer Region 2 Marine OIC Region 2 Chief of Communications 1. Duties & responsibilities (D&R’s) stipulated in this Program will govern the conduct and provide operational criteria and guidelines for each member of this Committee so everyone will know precisely what is expected of them. 2. Members of the Judging Committee will abstain from voting on those awards they have been personally nominated for in order to prevent favoritism and a conflict of interest. The other members of the Judging Committee will judge these awards. 3. CO’s or XO’s need to get their chapter/member nomination forms to the appropriate judges before Jan. 30th. The Marine RDC has until Feb. 30th to get the number of Marine Awards to be issued to the Awards Director. All Judges need to get their decisions to the Awards Director before Feb. 25th. This will allow enough time for the awards to be printed and mounted. 4. Winners will be announced at the Region Summit in March. Those winners unable to attend the Summit may have a representative from their chapter (usually their COs) accept it on their behalf or they may have it mailed to them if no one is available to accept it for them. 5. Should it be proven that any member of the Awards Committee is showing favoritism in these nominations, the matter will be sent directly to the Awards Director and RC for action in accordance with Regional policy and Program Directives. It will be discussed and corrective measures taken in accordance with Region and Program policy. 6. Every Marine Unit, shuttle/chapter/station CO and XO, and Region Staff Officer are allowed to send in nominations for his/her chapter, shuttle, Unit, station or individual. This includes the RC, Region staff, and Zone Coordinators. 7. There will be certificates and plaques issued as awards to the winners. 8. Should an award be contested after it has been announced, the Awards Director will review the disputed form with the others being nominated in their respective categories. The Awards Director’s decision after this review will be final. 9. It is recommended that all Unit/Shuttle/Chapter/Station CO's or XO’s retain a copy of their nomination requests in the event they become lost and need to be resent. This helps speed things up on everyone's part. Mail gets lost and computers crash - Cover your aft impulse drives. 10. These requirements will be considered part of the criteria of acceptance for the Awards Program. If the following are not followed, the application will be rejected. a. All submissions must be on the Fleet Nomination Form, which can be accessed at http://www.region2.org/awards/nominationform.htm. This is the same form used by Fleet and your submissions will be forwarded to Fleet exactly as you submit them on this form to us. b. Nominations must be post marked or dated (if an email msg.) and received by the appropriate judges NO LATER THAN Jan. 30th. If received after this date it will be automatically rejected unless the reason is a darn good one. 11. Awards will be judged on activities occurring during the period from Jan. 1st to Dec. 31st for the previous year. Activities prior to or subsequent to this period will not be considered and should not be listed on the nomination forms. 12. This Regional Awards Program now complies with all Fleet award criteria for the appropriate awards along with our own regional requirements. This includes on-line submissions to Fleet and Region. Requirements for Fleet Awards and the title of the Fleet award are listed with each Regional award description. 13. The Awards Director, Vice Regional Coordinator or Regional Coordinator will forward copies of the Region 2 winning nominations to the Starfleet Awards Program Director for consideration in the Fleet Award Program in accordance with Fleet Award guidelines.

In order of precedence, all Achievement Ribbons are worn ahead of all Service ribbons, which are worn ahead of all Training ribbons. On SD 0107.08 the STARFLEET Marine Corps officially adopted a new set or ribbons to replace those currently in service. These new ribbon designs were carefully chosen not only to satisfactorily meet the requirements of the SFMC but also to: Comply with the US Civil Air Patrols request that the SFMC stop using the CAP award ribbons. Assure supply, Keep overall costs down Besides changing the ribbon designs there has been one minor change to the overall awards given. The Klingon and Romulan Service Awards have been combined with the Joint Service Award. Other than that small change the rest of the awards are unchanged. The Ribbons: Below is a chart with pictures of the new ribbons. Please note that the colors shown are an approximation and may be updated at any time to better reflect the actual ribbon. All ribbon attachments can be ordered through Glendale. SFMC Achievement Awards, In Order of Precedence Black with Gold Oak Leaf Cluster GOLD NEBULA Issuing Authority: Commandant Frequency: As needed This award is given to any SFMC member who saves another person from immediate and potentially fatal harm while risking their own life in the process. The important criteria here is “immediate and potentially fatal harm.” Saving a child from drowning by jumping into a rushing river and pulling them to shore is a worthy example. Tackling Colonel Kelley to prevent him from eating his fifth pizza of the evening may save his life, but it does not rate an award—even if you did risk your life in the process. Lifesaving as a normal part of one’s employment (paramedic, doctor, lifeguard, etc.) is excluded from this award.     Black with Silver Oak Leaf Cluster SILVER NEBULA Issuing Authority: Commandant Frequency: As needed This award is given to any SFMC member who saves another person from immediate and potentially fatal harm without risking their own life in the process. Other than the risk to the lifesaver’s own life, all criteria of the Gold Nebula apply.     Gold CROSS OF HONOR (a.k.a. SFMC Marine of the Year) Issuing Authority: Commandant Frequency: Annual (one award issued to one marine each year) This award is given to the marine, officer or enlisted, that most exemplifies the spirit, image and attitude of the SFMC—the one who sets the standard for personal conduct, appearance, motivation, dedicated service and esprit de corps for which all STARFLEET Marines strive. Normally, the Steering Committee selects the top three candidates for this award from among the Cross of Valor recipients in the various brigades, and passes those names on to the Commandant for his selection of the final recipient.

SFMC Volunteer of the Year) Issuing Authority: Commandant Category & Type: Participation, Service This award is given to the Marine who has made the most significant personal impact in community service efforts within the SFMC.

Normally, the Steering Committee selects the top three candidates for this award from among the Shield of Valor recipients in the various brigades, and passes those names on to the Commandant for his selection of the final recipient.     Red/White STAR OF HONOR (a.k.a.
