Welcome to the beginning of your journey in the Honorverse. This student manual is your passport to an interesting, educational, and fun experience. Regardless of your interests I’m sure you will find many things that will be interesting, educational, and enjoyable.
Welcome to TRMN and BuTrain!  BuTrain is the educational arm of The Royal Manticoran Navy, The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association.  I hope that you will find your interactions with BuTrain to be fun and educational. The purpose of this manual is to serve as a guide to your journey through the BuTrain experience.  Here, you will find information on policies, procedures, courses, awards, honor societies, and more. Do you have a question about BuTrain?  The answer is probably here.  If it isn't, let us know, and we'll get it added.  This manual is a constantly evolving document.  New courses are being added all the time.  Policies and procedures evolve as we find new and better ways to do things.  We do our very best to ensure that the information here is the most accurate and up-to-date.


The material included in this manual is the result of hundreds of hours of work by the staff of BuTrain. Please take time to read it over carefully and find out what is available for you. You may take any courses from any of the academies as long as you meet the course prerequisites.
If you're new to BuTrain, you should start with the Introduction to TRMN course series.  It serves as the prerequisite to everything else.  There, you will find out a little about what TRMN is and how it works.  These three courses contain basic information that every member should know.  After you complete those, you can move on in any direction you choose.  BuTrain is divided into three academies.  The Grand Alliance Naval Academy (GANA) focuses on the naval elements of TRMN and the Honorverse.  There, you will find courses that focus on the navies of the Honorverse (RMN, GSN, IAN, RHN) and various disciplines associated with their functions.  The Ground Forces Training Command (GFTC) focuses on marines and soldiers (RMMC, RMA) and subjects relevant to their activities.  Finally, the Grand Alliance University System (GAUS) focuses on the Civilian services (RMACS, RMMM) and other Civilian entities (Diplomatic Corps, Special Intelligence Service, Sphinx Forestry Commission). GAUS also houses things like Intro to TRMN, leadership training, and courses provided by external providers that can be taken for BuTrain credit.  Where you start is up to you. Many people start with the main line (rank) courses in their chosen branch, but you don't have to.  For purposes of promotion eligibility, all of the different branches' rank courses are equivalent.  So, if you're an RMN member, but you heard that the IAN courses are fun, and you want to start there, do that.

Welcome from the Sixth Space Lord

Welcome to TRMN and BuTrain! BuTrain is the educational arm of The Royal Manticoran Navy, The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association. I hope that you will find your interactions with BuTrain to be fun and educational. The purpose of this manual is to serve as a guide to your journey through the BuTrain experience. Here, you will find information on policies, procedures, courses, awards, honor societies, and more. Do you have a question about BuTrain? The answer is probably here. If it isn't, let us know, and we'll get it added. This manual is a constantly evolving document. New courses are being added all the time. Policies and procedures evolve as we find new and better ways to do things. We do our very best to ensure that the information here is the most accurate and up-to-date.

If you're new to BuTrain, you should start with the Introduction to TRMN course series. It serves as the prerequisite to everything else. There, you will find out a little about what TRMN is and how it works. These three courses contain basic information that every member should know. After you complete those, you can move on in any direction you choose. BuTrain is divided into three academies. The Grand Alliance Naval Academy (GANA) focuses on the naval elements of TRMN and the Honorverse. There, you will find courses that focus on the navies of the Honorverse (RMN, GSN, IAN, RHN) and various disciplines associated with their functions. The Ground Forces Training Command (GFTC) focuses on marines and soldiers (RMMC, RMA) and subjects relevant to their activities. Finally, the Grand Alliance University System (GAUS) focuses on the Civilian services (RMACS, RMMM) and other Civilian entities (Diplomatic Corps, Special Intelligence Service, Sphinx Forestry Commission). GAUS also houses things like Intro to TRMN, leadership training, and courses provided by external providers that can be taken for BuTrain credit. Where you start is up to you.
