CTC Lympstone ww2

Hi
Is there information on Lympstone CTC, ww2 I can see there is lots of information about the scotland training centre.
Also some information on the blue sea service berets,in the picture I believe my dad is wearing one of these.

What training would have been done here ?
Where would he have been deployed afterwards?
I have requested a copy of records from Portsmouth but in these uncertain times this may take awhile.

Thanks

Phil Boot.

There?s lots of info out there. Lympstone was the infantry training centre Royal Marines. Before it became CTCRM.

The camp at Exton/Lympstone was established in 1940. Prior to that Royal Marines infantry training took place at Dalditch Camp, on Woodbury Common. Commando training took place at a number of venues: Achnacarry in Scotland, in Wales (can't remember the name of the place) and at Bickleigh, near Plymouth.
It was moved to ITCRM Lympstone in February 1960.
Royal Marines training at that time was multi phased at different locations:
drill, PT, swimming (including a final test in clothing and equipment, with a rifle) and basic weapon training at the Depot RM in Deal, Kent, then two weeks on board a ship, a week at Poole for Landing Craft training and SBS acquaint, and finally on to Lympstone. Training there initially comprised of the assault course, more PT, Drill, and then speed matches, all leading up to "X" Troop - the commando course. Finally, those that were left were subjected to two weeks drill in the King's Squad before passing out.
ITCRM was designated CTCRM in 1970 and all Royal Marines training (except for some specialist courses) including that of young officers, takes place there.
