MMRP Narrative Report Format
A. INTRODUCTION:
1. How I came up with my belief to join the Virtual Merchant Marine Regimental Program
(MMRP)?
I came up to my belief in joining the virtual Marine Regimental Program for me to have
more experience and training which I think can prepare me for my future work as a seafarer. It
also makes me join the MMRP 1 to become more productive during my vacation and to work
myself out to become physically fit and mentally prepared for the next training. Hence, the
subjects that are listed on the MMRP 1 motivates me to join because there are some subject that
I am not doing well. First is the Values Development, Which for me will make me benefit when it
comes to giving values to everything and every action that I make. In short, I think it will make me
a better individual. Second is the Celestial Navigation, Which is very hard for me to learn during
the past school year due to limited resources, time and laboratory. Third is the Physical Fitness,
because I am not very active in exercise and I think this course will help me develop my Physical
fitness. Lastly is that because the MMRP 1 is one of the required subject that I needed to pass
for me to enroll on the next level.
2. What I must expect to arrive myself upon completion of the training program?
I expect myself to become physically fit and mentally prepared after the training. Due to the
programs given on this training course, I think that I will not only be trained physically but also
become more proficient in English. I also think that I will become more active when it comes to
exercise due to the one of the subject of this course which is Physical Fitness. I think that after
this training I will become more knowledgeable and prepared for the 3 rd year training and subjects
including parts that are related to Celestial Navigation. Hence, It will boost up my performance
and level of thinking that will make me more relatable to the upcoming topics. Therefore, it can
upgrade and make me more proactive in my future class subjects. I also think that the completion
of this program will enhance my perspective and daily habits, making me more responsible on my
duties, tasks and activities that will be given to me not just on school but also on my future work
as a seafarer. I also envisioned myself as an active Leader and listener to all of my classmates
and comrades due to the nature of this training which I think will give me leadership skills.
1. Academic Enhancement:
1.1 – Collision Regulations & Celestial Navigation Computation for BSMT Students
– Auxiliary Machineries for BSMarE Students
C. WHICH OF THE ABOVE TRAINING COMPONENTS THAT YOU LIKE MOST AND WHY?
The Physical Fitness Training, because it not only gives me a positive habitual exercise
everyday, but also gives me the opportunity to be disciplined at the same time have a genuine
camaraderie with my fellow cadets during the training. It boosts up my confidence as I command
to them on doing exercise with the given Instructions given by our instructor. I also gained a lot of
experience such as stating commands and following the commands strictly. I engaged with a lot
of cadets which I thinks makes us unite as one. Hence, making us more solid and at the same
time disciplined with one principle. It also gives me a lot of strength and stamina when it comes to
exercise due to its hard yet beneficial type of exercise which composes of; neck flexion, head
extension, neck rotation, shoulder rotation, big rotation/ small rotation, shoulder shrug, side arm
pull, hips rotation, front/ side/ back knee pull, knee rotation, ankle rotation, and heels raise on
warm up and also composes of extreme exercise on two categories which composes of high
jumper, squat bender, stationary jogging, bend and reach, push up, Knee Bender, Trunk Twister,
Turn and Bounce, Mountain Climbing, and Squat Thrust which makes me more physically fit and
disciplined.
D. WHICH OF THE ABOVE TRAINING COMPONENTS THAT YOU DIDN’T LIKE MOST AND
WHY?
The Discipline and Values Development, I think mainly because of the time given to this
subject and the resources which are not mostly helping on the final assessment. It just give us
the basic information about the Values Development and then right away after the discussion
gives us hard questions and logical questions which I think isn’t appropriate given that the time is
limited with also limited resources. I also doesn’t understand the discipline on it compare to the
Physical Fitness subject which gives us a physical and metal discipline. Although it gives me
some basic Values Development information which is helpful in some cases, but it doesn’t have
the time to truly explain its nature and how we can nurture it as an individual and as a seafarer. I
also believe that it needs attention because I can’t clearly see the discipline with this subject that
I’ve been expecting before enrollment. It also has the riskiest time on MMRP given that it only
has limited time, yet the time given to it is day 1 and day 2 which I think is not okay because
some students who have problems in enrolling may missed this class and must take the final
assessment even though they didn’t meet the professor in this subject.
