Re: Royal Marines Bands
Why are there never any posts about the RM band service? At the moment I look at this site, plus ABRSM forums, but I've got some more specific questions?

I provide saftey cover for the PRMC 3 miler most weeks. I do this in a mini bus which of course has a mileometer. I can absolutely confirm that the 3 mile run is 3 miles long, as it is the same route as the RM BFT. Like wise, during RT the 6 miler is 6 miles and the 9 miler is 9 miles. And guess wha...

The overriding factor in choosing Kings Squad Pass Out music is wheather it will fit in with the existing Parade format. Military music is measured in 16 and 8 bar phrases and so if a troop has a particular request (that is available) the band do try to accomodate, as long as it doesn't have a knock...

All military helicopter pilots of all services learn to fly fixed wing first. Its a basic requirement. Gazelles have now left service (winter 05/06) so its Lynx and Sea King only at the moment. By the time you get there though there will be the Merlin. There are at present 3 RM Harrier pilots. All s...
