I love all your vlog chief! I hope you can make another video about the job of the 4th engineer.

[@zaidanapradinata8290]

Thanks a lot chief, you are such great inspiring me. Let me know a new post about Machineries more cause I need your experience so much and morever I have already practiced on the ship as engine cadet.

nice one chief makoi.. it's inspiring and it can motivate me through this course BSMar-E.. Graduating na ako ngayon chief sana makasampa ako dyan chief.. take care always and God bless

[@martinusher1]

Many years ago when I first started my engineering degree course students were told that a degree doesn't automatically make you an engineer, it just provides the background and understanding that allows you to learn. It was reckoned that it would take five or six years work experience after graduation to get to know the art (at which point the actual degree becomes interesting but essentially unimportant). So you're right -- academics are important but not necessarily essential. What's needed is a good attitude, a willingness to learn and an ability to work as part of a team.

[@Joyrider197]

I was a cadet engineer for 2 years on a Greek merchant marine academy, but I abandoned the career of a merchant marine engineer despite the fact that I liked it very much, because of the attitude of chiefs and second engineers on the ships I was stationed, they just wanted a person for cleaning and as a servant, and no effort for knowledge was passing on. Maybe I was unlucky and related to the wrong officers, but I pursued another career away of the merchant marine an never looked back, that was 33 years ago. You are a good man chief, and I enjoy your videos very much.

"Your academic records... they don't mean anything once you start working onboard a ship" I rewound it thrice just to make me believe you said this. This gave me serious inspiration and my face lit up after hearing these words. I've a very blotted academic record in college with several backlogs but currently I'm trying to gain as much knowledge about the engine and marine machineries as i can.

[@Ratjuicefan]

Hello. I’d love to know what you are doing now, four years later. How did you progress and what did you become?

[@ExtradeluxeChairman]

Beautiful post. I was a marine engineer 24 years ago. What a strong memories. I completed almost 13 months assignment in piece all in Asia. That year defined myself. A part of me want to go back in that time but its late now. I left my soul at the sea.

[@clarksuperman2120]

You are a good officer chief Makoi! *salute* Im a deck cadet now onboard on a LCT dreaming someday to be a good officer just like you

It's true about grades not meaning crap once on board.. It's better to stay humble with an open mind than cocky about some marks you got at shore. Truly a lucky cadet to share with awesome engineers, I feel equally as blessed. Thank you Chief for the awesome video!

[@goatsayittwice8513]

I'm soon to be an Engine Cadet, what scares me most is that I often feel anxious and not sure if I can do the work correctly. Many people believe in me that I can survive the struggle onboard but honestly to myself I'm thinking twice if I can make it. I can't stop worrying. You Chief Makoi and Biyahe Edward are my inspiration, and the videos you guys made and shared with us are helpful because it boost my confidence and becoming more motivated than I was in school. I always hoping for the best. Thank you and take care always! You're a living legend.

[@richardvernick4280]

Markoi. Thank you for your videos of shipboard life, and it is great that the old sea men shear and teach the youg with dignity and patients watching their content of caricature grow for the next generation of sea men. Again, a Big Thank You for shearing videos. Please take care be safe. 👍

[@natashaanderson4220]

By watching ur vlog i felt lonely coz i remember my father ... His life and experienced as a seaman ... He was a chief electrician for 13 yrs .... I missed him a lot ...Glad watching how life of a seaman ...

[@MicoVlogTVtraveller]

My first day onboard as an engine cadet before was so traumatizing. We joined the vessel while she's anchored at Singapore. After a motorboat took as to our destination, onboard crew lowered down pilot ladder for us to climb aboard while our baggages were tied on ropes and was pulled up. After then, we only had 30 minutes to prepare and off we went to join the crew in transporting stores and spares delivered by boats. After tending the provision, store and spares, the bunkering operation followed which lasted for almost 10 to 11 hours. After that, we then went to ECR to observe our first maneuvering operation (departure) which lasted too long. It was already 3 am when everything was settled. I felt my first day as an engine cadet was hell but now, I realized that It really shaped me to a better person and engineer I am right now.

[@chippilastelko]

I relate very much. Though I did not join the vessel in Singapore , when were anchored there , all crew on my ship had a full 8-hr night shift for the 1st time , as bunkering was planned at the same time provisions and spares were being delivered to us.

[@redalmighty8266]

Im a graduating Marine engineering student and I hope someday or in a future I could be also a Chief Engineer just like you Chief Makoi. Thank you for inspiring me again sir by sharing some of your knowledge!

Wow....now I know what my son is studying to be. ...I'm so proud. ....

[@andrewleatherman4931]

What you said at the end is SOOO TRUE! Having a degree is great (I have one), but that is just a framework for learning. Having the mindset that you will continually learn throughout your life and that education is never actually over, you will become the all-around individual that is needed in any profession that is being pursued.

[@ChiefMAKOi]

I know, right! 👍🙂

[@jamesal5148]

Chief Makoi, I am a Marine Engineering student in a school that is not that well known in Cebu, I have been discouraged by many, some are just my relatives, some of them said that after I graduate I might not be able to work effectively and other companies will not hire me in priority because of it, some told me I won't be able to pursue my dream. I took my apprenticeship program on an InterIsland ship. After it I looked for another career as I got discourage of what people are always saying and what they are injecting in my brain. But right now I realized I needed to step up and pursue my career and when I saw your video it boosted my confidence and realized I don't need other peoples feedback to reach my dream. So right now I am in the process of finishing my BS in school. Hopefully I will be able to pass the examination and take my first on board a ship. Thank you Sir Makoi. Godbless you and your family.

[@ElNemo-no3lr]

Oh My God, you are the same as me. Tell me, how are you going?

[@wilberburroughs3133]

Chief, thanks for your great videos. I am a frustrated ships engineer, and at 14 was nearly sent to Nova Scotia to join BP Esso as a cadet, but my patron, a top Esso engineer in the late sixties who I met in Mallorca, died and my career ended before it started. Went on to become an airline captain, but I still yearn for the sea and engine room existence. Thanks again for the fabulous videos.

[@MrGangeticus]

"eyes on the prize". It's an advise for anyone with a goal in life! Thank you, fair winds and following seas Chief!

[@arnelmabini7749]

I am also a Marine Engineering graduate although I had been onboard a domestic vessels (small type), it is true that the works there are more complicated than I was expected . Thanks Chief Makoi for this video atleast I had the chance to saw of what a machineries really look like in a larger engine room. Hoping that someday I can also onboard that kind of what we called "engineer's play ground" 🙂

Great video ! As a fellow Chief Engineer (now ashore) who started as an engine cadet at 16 you could not be more correct that mentoring onboard is essential, much more so than the lessons back at college!

All I can tell you as that I learned my machines little by little. Over time I got to know them so well. Now it's who I am. They run, I run. It's beyond explaination. In the end it's a beautiful thing.

[@eliasjohnoliverdumo5530]

Chief MAKOi Ikaw po talaga and dahilan at inspiration ko pati sa mga vlogs mo as a Freshmen MA Engineering saying " YOUR ACADEMIC RECORDS THEY DON'T MEAN ANYTHING ONCE YOU BOARDING IN THE SHIP " and also " THE MOST IMPORTANT ASSETS THAT ONE NEEDS TO HAVE IS A GOOD ATTITUDE AND THE CORRECT MINDSET IN ORDER TO LEARN WHAT THEY NEED TO LEARN AND KEEP THEIR EYES ON THE PRIZE ❤ " :) Ito yung dahilan na gusto ko talagang matoto nito at sana kapag naka graduate ako at mapagbigyan ng pagkakataon na maging cadete sa sa line up mo sana magkatotoo . Thank You Chief God Bless po sayo at sa iyong mga crew :)

I totally agree with you Chief. Grades are just inks written on papers. But the skills, knowledge and most importantly the right attitude are what propel us cadets to the top of our maritime career. God speed sir!

[@absintherecords]

Chief firstly I wanted to say, very inspiring production. Yes it is true academics are just in a sense of formality. A true work aptitude comes with a passion and from the heart. I'm an aircraft mechanic and never extended the top of my class. Humility and discipline are my greatest weapon in reaching my tenure as of now. Great video as always! Marami ka pang maiinspire sir. 🔥👍👍

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Thanks!

[@danialddd5784]

A few months left before i begin my career as engine cadet. When you said "academic records dont mean anything once you start working onboard", you just throw away all the anxiety i had right now. I really feel like im not smart enough to become marine engineer. Extend for 3 semester, a lot of repeat paper, i feel so dumb. But now you just show me the light. And i hope one day i will come again to this video, but as a chief engineer. Thank you chief!

I'm old now, but spent lots of time working with reciprocating steam engines in a museum setting. I think a good path to engineer, is read all you can find. Old books, new books, all books. Love the job.

I was a dive contractor for a few years, primarily on cruise ships but also the occasional cargo ship. We worked a lot with the engineering departments, due to the need to lock out/ tag out everything we touched. I always thought that being a chief engineer had to be one of the hardest jobs in the world. Just the scope and scale of the responsibilities is incredible.

Now, a lot of people might react negatively from what I'm about to say, but your academic records, they don't mean anything once you start working onboard a ship.

My father was born in St. Augustine Florida in 1898. He loved the sea. He joined the AEF in 1917 and after WW1, I found in his military records after he passed away in 1987, he had joined the merchant marines in 1919 to 1922. On Ancestory website, we found a ships crew list, where he had finished a contract, and was sailing back from Norway to Mayport Florida. He rejoined the Army in 1922 until 1949. I have always been curious about what he did on the various ships. I am sure that things were a lot different in 1919,contracts, jobs, ships, etc. Thank you so much for these videos. I wish I could find merchant marine records going that far back. My father was a Menorcan and his ancestors were part of the original landing in New Smyrna in 1777, with our history going back on the Isle of Menorca to 1650. Our coat of arms features a sailing ship. My last name is not "Arnold", although it does start with an "A". This name was a typo when creating my yahoo account. Anyway thanks again, for these great videos. I have grandchildren who might be interested in this profession.

That’s a very serious decision though so give me a couple years to think about it. Haha Also, when I started working in a kitchen that was my first time experiencing the hidden intricacies of something very familiar. Cleaning in particular. That tends to be the first thing I think about when I look at things from a “everything is done by someone” point of view. The engine room is this video is a perfect example.
