Another option is the way I learned:  Be the deputy RM for a few
cycles.  Under the watchful eye of the RM, act as if you are the RM
(akin to the co-pilot flying the plane under the eye of the Captain).
The benefit to the RM is that there is an extra pair of eyes and
someone to partner with. The benefit of the deputy role is learning
experience.
