Class 2006 Our Story? (The Year of the Tiger) part 3
January came and the corps was back for the sequel, the finale of our scout for the sea where our vessel awaited us. Academic were tremendously arduous; projects, assignments, research works, quizzes, simulators demonstration and many others overflowed our bucket of priorities. Life in the battalion became tense as well; since our seniors were often times moody due to twists and heavy rolling.
Not so long ago, the day of Hearts came, a chance to unwind for a while. A blissful break for the weary heart and mind. We celebrate with friends and loved ones in our annual party. This time, some of us proudly showcased their " ONE AND ONLY'S" while some paraded in grandeur their "ONE AMONG MANY'S".. Truly, the Valentines hop of our 3rd class year was unforgettable, for we have a little bit of pride and confidence to be with the woman of our choice, which was in contrast during our plebe year when we just took anyone in the vicinity, not minding the looks and the qualities of our partners, - like suicide squad in dire need of drag.
Before the school year ended; we, the whole class of 2006 selected the incoming officers of the regiment as well as the committee heads who will be spearheading every endeavor and who would forebear the Academy's prestige in all the activities outside and inside institution. We were already preparing for our first class year yet we were still due for shipboard training, -an odd preparation that happens only in PMMA. The sense of leadership and responsibility that has been etched by two years of toil was soon to be tested. We were, after all, SECONDCLASSMEN.
The Department of Midshipmen Affairs turned us over to the Department of Shipboard Training to finally facilities our embarkation. we left the academy ready to sail the high seas. The feeling of excitement could not be hidden in the sparkle of our eyes. Days and hours were the only factors to count and we would be sailing beyond books and imaginations to places and experience we had never encountered before.
