RMR Belfast

Hi guys,

I heard a rumour that the Belfast Detachment no longer exists and the closest Det for NI is now in Scotland? RMR Belfast used to run recruitment stalls at Armed Forces Day events, Portrush Airshow and Belfast Maritime Festival but I note they haven’t done this for a few years?
Is this true? Also I am an ex regular who left regular Army service three years ago at the rank of LCpl. Am I entitled to any rejoiner bounty, not that it’s important but thought I’d ask.

Cheers.

 

Hi,

The page for RMR Scotland states that the main detachment is located at MOD Caledonia in Rosyth. The remaing six detachments are based in Aberdeen, Belfast, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle.

Hope this helps & best of luck

Hi,
Belfast detachment still exists although I think all training is cancelled currently due to covid-19. Was down the other week and was told it was cancelled then and havnt been back since as I would assume it's still cancelled. I was due to go on prmc on 11th of may and start recuit training shortly after for RMR.

 

Thanks brother, I’ve made comms and will wait out.

 

Hi guys RMR Belfast still about just not operating as normal at the minute due to C-19. Anyone heard anything about RMR Vpjft and ROP finishing with CAA instead of PRMC? How that will work with Holding troop etc? What will ROP and CAA include?

 

I was at Palace Barracks a bit before all the covid stuff happened and I saw it then.

 

Does anyone now are they back to training again yet?

 

I don't believe so at this time. Best bet is to ring det or AFCO to find out directly.

 

So is PRMC replaced now for a RMR now?
