Naval Pistol Marksmanship

TRMN Information

This award is given to any member for having completed a certain number of games of a space-based tactical game, such as the Saganami Island Tactical Simulator. The games must be logged and witnessed by two people, unless played via Saganami Island with a BuTrain Instructor or have some independent, verifiable system in place.

The list of games which qualify toward this award is in Orders:Admiralty Order 1604-01.

Due to the legal liability associated with offering awards for actual marksmanship, live fire is specifically prohibited from being used to earn marksmanship awards. Please see Orders:Admiralty Order 1406-03 for further explanation.

From Appendix I to RMN-5-002 Awards Manual:

For each qualifying game played, the games must be logged and witnessed by two people, unless played via Saganami Island with a BuTrain Instructor or have some independent, verifiable system in place. Any fast paced game, such as Wings of War, will be limited to max five games per sitting, with a maximum of two sittings per day. For slower, more strategic games, such as Saganami Island Tactical Simulator, there will be a maximum limit on ten games per day regardless of sittings. This difference is due to the nature of the games. Either way, in one day, you can qualify for a Sharpshooter Ribbon.

The purpose of the Marksmanship Awards is to promote social activities. This is one of the reasons why all games listed require more than one person to play.

The scale of awards is as follows:

High Expert	Expert	Sharphooter	Certificate
50 or more games	25 to 49 games	10 to 24 games	5 to 9 games
