PMMA Reception Rites Class of 2023

[@ChiefMAKOi]

OK, this video is a product of only a few hours of work and although I put in a few edits, it still feels very raw for my taste. But because a lot of you requested it, I just couldn't say "no". Malakas kayo sa akin eh hahahaha. 😀 I was originally planning to do a full documentary style video for the whole month orientation period all the way to the Oathtaking and including interviews and explanations as to why this is the style of training that PMMA implements. I'll still be doing that so it will be worth waiting for. So stay tuned!!!

[@aprilandreyaabad5086]

Omg yes please Chief Makoi🤗😇 ur such a blessing po

[@ernienucup3703]

I've been watching your impressive videos and, without exceptions, I like them all. Your series about the PMMA made me wonder what my life would have been had I applied, and been accepted, there in 1957. My father wanted me to be a Mining Engnr. So instead of the PMMA, I enrolled at Mapua where I stayed until 1961 when I decided to enlist in the US Navy before I finished college. Bravo Zulu! Thank you.

[@philcrase7425]

Once again you have hit it out of the park! Great video, well done!! Thanks Chief

[@ianstravelvlogs451]

It is my dream to be part of PMMA cadets. They design to be tough and to be wise in any situation. But, I'm nearly finish my 3yr academic course. Its hard also, if your parents had a lack of support. Even you only wanted to achieve your goals for the family also. Pahirapan makapag aral sa isang maritime institution sa taong katulad ko kasi kapos din sa pera. Pero nag susumikap para makapagtapos. Pinasukan na iba't ibang trabaho. Kaya gusto ko mag aral sa PMMA para rin makapagtapos nang sa aking sariling sipag. Pero masaya parin kasi malapit na matapos. God bless po Cheif MAkoi thank you sa mga educational vid at motivational vid mo. Nag bibigyan ako nang lakas nang loob sa buhay.

[@rahepla]

Goosebumps...!!! Must be a real privilege to join the PMMA. Hard to see all those aspirants in front of the bell saying goodbye to their dreams. Another great one CHIEF! Best wishes from Spain.

Thank you chief makoi! Since we did not get to see them due to the rain, I was glad to have seen even a short snippet of my loved one! Looking forward for the next video.♥️

[@genellebrown3777]

Thanks for making this video - especially in the pouring rain! Glad to see so many women in the group. I hope they weren't the ones to quit that day. Hopefully they were mentally prepared in advance for the military approach, which can get pretty ridiculous at times. Then again, it might be developing the work ethic which seems to be stronger on your ships than on others! :) This is so interesting! Can't wait for the next one!! The way you film these it's like actually being there for us!

[@tonyingsy]

Kudos to the OS! "Wet and wild!" Nicely done sir!

[@lawrencebeeler6273]

As a retired U.S. Marine i can relate . I would be proud if my sun or daughter started and completed your academy

[@RiggusPiggus]

Wow! I was a cadet for 4 years in the UK and we didn't do any of that military shit! We had to wear a uniform of blazer, company tie, white shirt and grey trousers, but we soon found out it was to our advantage cos the chicks loved it! All our free time was spent mostly drinking and shagging! And what's the deal with bending over backwards like that? It looks comical but it can't be good for their backs. Interesting to see the difference though. I've sailed with many Filipinos and they were all excellent seamen so it obviously works. I wouldn't have lasted 5 mins in that regime but I still managed to become 2nd Eng. before I quit and started on oil rigs.

Wow, 575 hopeful candidates! Good luck to all of them. I’m sure the process is tough but the career they are trying to join is pretty tough too. I remember a similar experience 40 years ago, trying to stand at attention and not having a clue of what lay ahead of me. A year later I was one of the ones standing in front of a bunch of new cadets wondering which ones would fail and which ones would excel. But I knew that I could trust those that survived the process with me. It’s a brotherhood that survives to this day. Good luck and God speed to those young men and women.

[@bigclivedotcom]

I wonder how many good, technically capable people are intimidated into leaving by the arrogance of the people shouting at them. I'd normally associate that with the military navy and not the merchant navy.

[@ChiefMAKOi]

This school does not train cadets exclusively for the merchant navy. As government scholars, they are required to be commissioned as officers in the Navy Reserves and a few also sign up for the regulars in both the Navy and Coast Guard. I know it's complicated but they know what they signed up for and passing through this for free education and excellent employment opportunities is a great deal for those who choose not to be intimidated.

I bet it's very good walking up and down the ranks as a career chief engineer with vast experience, knowing once you were that bright eyed slightly nervous new officer recruit. I bet even better when you were an instructor. Nothing better going some form of military basic training. The discipline and skills acquired at a young age, follow you for life. Is there a Chief Engineering position as a Commodore of training or in a shipping company, A go to guy for Ship Chief Engineers can go to etc. Like a Ships Captain on a cruise ship can become a Commodore if the shipping line etc. Or is it a role not seen much these days?
