The Order of Mariners is an honorary distinction made by
District 26 to recognize exceptional service and achievement by individual
members. Those so honored receive a certificate of membership and the order
insignia, which is a silver lapel pin. To qualify as mariner, a member must have
earned 15 merit marks and attained Educational Proficiency Status (Advanced
Piloting plus three electives). These awards are presented to recipients at
their respective squadron’s change of watch.
The order was first activated in 1981 to promote the
essential principles of USPS. Its provisos have been modified over time to
reflect changing emphasis in the organization. Initially, there were three
classes of membership: Mariner, Commodore and Nautic. In 1992, the classes of
Commodore and Nautic were discontinued by the Order and administration was
relinquished to the District 26 Bridge.
