reveille, Markers,Officers call,Cookhouse,defaulters,Mail,alarm to arms,clear lower deck,and then my favourite finished for the day and not forgetting lights out and maybe a few other calls I've missed.

Reveille, Cookhouse, Sick parade, half hour warning for parade (1 G shit sleeves, 2 G's great coats, 3 G's waterproof capes), Quarter call, Guard and Band, NCO's and Markers, Fall in, Officers Call, (perhaps a fanfare if it is a ceremonial parade), School call, Mail call, Stand Easy, Cease fire out pipes, carry on, Cook house, Fall in, Defaulters, Parade for guard, fire call, Dismiss, Piquet, Libertymen, Sunset, Lights out! Just to name a few. Sadly the barracks routine of calls has now ceased but the are still there just incase. Not forgetting the tousands of Alerts at the main gate for visitors and officer's dinner calls... oh the joys of being duty bugler!!!
I've still got my DMS boots and puttees in the loft, somewhere with my white PT kit, pusser's vests and pants.

There is a CD/Cassette of all these Bugle calls which was recorded just before Eastney Barracks closed down by Bugler Alan Pinner RM, it is called "Sound the Alert" it was recorded in 1992...the Royal Marine Museum did have them in the Gift Shop, I don't know if it is still on the market...maybe Sticky can confirm.

Owning up to owning this CD...........now THATS what I Corps Pissed!

[mogoloyo]

Actually I have the cassette, (I never had a CD player in those days) but if you are and old Sea Service Marine it certainly brings back a lot of memories, and it is a bit of Corps History as well.
