the Fourth week!

In my fifth week here in NTMA, Ive learned more about in Basic Safety Training. Sir Bossun Gonzales taught as how to hold a fire extinguisher. And also how to roll and how to connect the hose in the fire hydrants. And we also practice how to hold the hose and fight the fire even though there is no fire. But it is a good exercise on us, as a cadet here in NTMA, because we can use this on board the vessel. Now, I learned how to fight a fire.
And sir Bossun said that he will teach as how to save the life of the man over board, and that is so exciting. Because there are so many case that the crew of a vessel was over board. And they were save, because the crew knows how the save the man over board. That is so very important to the seamen.

The third week1

I the third week, I learned more about in Math. Our lessons in Math is about the six trigonometric function. In first lesson, it was not too hard for us to learn, because it is only the basic of trigonometry. But later on, we found it hard when it comes to proving the identities. If you don't know how to get the first step, you can't get the answer or you can't prove it. In trigonometry, you must pay attention to your teacher, because if you do not, you will not know the next lessons. Because as i said, if you don't know how to begin, you don't know what next. That is the life in Math.

better lessons!

Last November , we started the second semester in this school (NTMA). An in that day, sir Serna implemented the new rules and regulation. And in that case of that we learned more about in dicipline. Last semester we can violate the rule many times, and you will only punish, but today, when you violated the rules two times, it will considered as first offense according to the cadets manual of information. And that is equivalent to suspension. Now we are aware in violating the rules and regulation, because if you had violate the rules, you are not be punished anymore, you will recieve a memo. As I see today, the cadets arev more snappy that last semester.

This is what I learned in school.

On the first day (last November 05), I learned more about the new policies that sir Serna implemented. Sir Serna implemented that when you violate the rule two times it will be considered as first offense. Now we are aware in making mistakes in the academy, even slouching is not allowed. I know that this new policies can make the cadets look smart and snappy. Because some of the cadets here in NTMA are always violating the rules and regulation. Even me, I also violating the rules but not so fatal. In this new policies, today I observe that their is a big differences in the cadets here. The cadets who are always late in formation, are always come before on time and look snappy cadets!
