Class 2006 Our Story? (The Year of the Tiger) part 1

The Year of the Tiger
(third class year)

Pondering about the past that lies in the depth of hardships and struggles shortened the chain that lies down from the torrents of our hearts as we tried to unfathom the seafloor of our fate as thirdclassmen. The responsibilities that lie on our shoulders that brought on a situation just like the crew of Odyseus in close encounters with our life Scylla and Charybdis - the king and the lowest mammals. Our eager and hungry eyes snipe like that of a tiger to any bald headed bug in our vicinity yet cautious enough to camouflage from the kings who hunt for prey, in short we are caught between two rocks, one of it is our hunger to instill our authority and power to the poor ducrots we have in sight and the other one is the fear for the upperclassmen who have their cravings for the taste of thirdclassmen.

As a normal activity of the year, the class of 2003, after finishing their summer ship board training (SST) commonly known as NS - 43, came back to the Academy for graduation. They were once our firstclassmen who taught us the consequence of an offense the patience in panic-stricken seconds, the triple - O and many others. The blood past has gone, an avenue of the PMMA way which many trudged but only a few managed to cross.

Class 2006 Our Story? (Taming the Beast) part 4

Upon valentine's Day, we prepared the battalions, secured our partners and invited our parents as well as our foster parents for the event. During this time, we did almost the same program we had during the acquaintance party. The only difference is that this time, it will be a month to go and we will no longer be treated as pesky varmints but a little bit higher in the caste of mammals inside the Academy.

Finally, March came, suggesting what recognition day was drawing near. Recognition day is also called the batch pinning wherein our class seal. authenticated by our hardships will finally become a part of our uniform... of our pride. It was comforting to breathe the air of the seemingly endless world. The blue sky looked brighter; a hope for a new tomorrow crept in the nerves of our face that invited a smile for a job well done.

the end...

Class 2006 Our Story? (Taming the Beast) part 3

Upon the graduation of class 2002, we were utilized as parading elements and most of the time, we were confined to our quarters to do things for them. It was encouragement for us, our hearts seeing the graduating class step into the pedestal of success while we were just beginning.

Then the month of September came, - the excitement of the Acquaintance party filled the air together with our beloveds, we watched the Silent Drill Company perform for the first time. Open house then followed. We made preparation to entairtain our guest. It was during this time when we introduced our family and friends to our upperclassmen. Later in the evening, we had our catered dinner at the Mess Hall. The band serenade us as we enjoyed our meals with our special guests. As the night went deeper, the dance floor got filled with overwhelming joy.

Semestral break finally came; and for the first time, midshipmen were allowed to go home.

Time passed swiftly and the cold breeze of December filled the Academy atmosphere. IT was a feeling of both happiness and anxiety, for everything we did pointed to our Christmas vacation, a time we plebes can finally spend wholesome hours with our families.
