hrmmm.... first month will be tough. that's during my time. not sure bout now. yup. plenty activities that'll make u wanna quit. but just be patient with it since it'll build ur mentality before u go onboard.

my name. haha. let me think bout it. ngeh3.

any ideas on wt kind of activities we are looking at? most importantly is there alot of running involved?

as i mention, i heard they change the system after our batch. more soft i think.

from my experience. lots of marching, running(since those who're late will be punish), push up. bla3x all those regimental thing.

and yes. there's a lot of running.

owh crap... i could barely run 500metres man.. im so screwed..

haha. one of my high school junior will also join alam this year under gagasan carrier.

2008spm stdent previously sponsored by JPA for PIDN in UNITEN. quit the prog to join alam.

im my opinion, its better that way, they will have better grip at studies.. im 2008 stpm student myself..

haha. some of my fellow batchmate also stpm stdents. at first they'll be quite mature from the otherss. but just wait until 2nd sem. everybody will be crazy. haha.

lol.. i can see that happening, i understand why we'll behav like that..

my induction on this 18th , wish me luck guys!
any tips for induction , please post here

haha. yup. especially after u finish ur 2nd sem and waiting for training ship. that time u'll be very2 excited. trust me.

hehe. well... just brace urself up and don't give up. susah2 dahulu. senang2 kemudian.

for bumi armada sponsored, ur COC will be different from those from MISC/AET/large2 ship. u'll be given COC for near coastal voyage if i'm not mistaken. it means u have limitation and cannot apply for big2 ship unless u upgrade ur license to unlimited by collecting seatime onboard foreign going vessel.

but cheers up. most bumi armada vessel are offshore support vessel. it means some of the vessel will be equipped with "Dynamic Positioning"(DP) system. experience working onboard DP vessel + if u have license as DP vessel operator or DP engineer carry high value in Oil&Gas industry. 2ndmate with DP ticket can reach salary of rm30k in bumi armada base on insiders info.
