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.

So, if you're an RMN member, but you heard that the IAN courses are fun, and you want to start there, do that.
The most important thing is that this is supposed to be fun. We're here to provide an opportunity to dive in and learn more about TRMN, the Honorverse, and the real world basis for them. I hope you will have a long and enjoyable journey with us.
