Royal Navy Physical Training Branch Association
The Vision of the RNPTBA is to create a proactive and vibrant Association that all serving and retired PTIs want to be part of, continuing the legacy of our proud PTI family and very special PT ethos.
Our Mission is to mentor and support serving and retired members of our Association through all stages of career and life.
Our Commitment is that we are creating an Association which will be a focus for sense of community and belonging. Every RN PTI, serving or retired, can join and be part of a mutually supportive network of like-minded professionals who have been, and remain, at the heart of the Navy’s ethos, morale and operational capability. Just like any solid family, it will aim to look after its own people throughout their careers and beyond, offering support, advice, social contact and the sheer enjoyment of fellowship among like-minded colleagues.
Successes so far :
- Seamlessly linked conversations between the RN resettlement team and the RNPTBA mentoring networking project to ensure serving and leaving personnel are getting the same service and our time isn’t wasted going over previously trodden ground.
