Royal Navy


Term 1

Welcome to the online diary of troop 2007 displayed here within their own web pages. Here you will witness the evolution of each individual from civilian into Royal Marine as the troop undergoes its training at the Royal Marines School of Music in HM Naval Base, HMS Nelson, Portsmouth written in their own hand.

Troop 2007 joined the Royal Marines Band Service in Portsmouth at the Royal Marines School of Music on September 4th 2007. Prior to commencing their training they were all from different parts of the country and from different backgrounds. Each of the Musicians and Buglers within the troop will complete up to three year's training at the Royal Marines School of Music including initial basic training and then 8 and 6 terms respectively of intense musical training.

We, and the troop, hope that you will follow them through their training. Delight in their achievements, sweat with them during their PT periods as they develop into fully rounded members of the Royal Marines Band Service.

As the troop progress through their training the links to each of the terms, meet the troop and meet the RMSoM Staff on the left will become active.
