Sorry for asking too many questions sir but I am really interested in knowing more about our military.

Ummm...where do the navy train its officers sir because we do not have a naval academy like in the US and di ba ang PMA for army only tapos we have also flying school for our airforce? :)

yes, we do not have a naval academy that is similar to that of the US Naval Academy in Annapolis but i guess the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy in Zambales is a good training ground for prospective navy personnel. there are also some PMA cadets who opt to enter Navy service.

i hope that this reply will be able to answer your question...


peace? ;)

Welcome to PDFF, 17er.

No problem about the question. Its not as if its a state secret or something... :D

As far as I know, the AFP gets its officers from 2 sources: the PMA and the ROTC. PMA grads get to choose which service of the AFP they will go. But I know PAF and PN have a quota, so if the quota is filled, the rest will have to go to the PA. Those who have higher grades will get to pick first. They enter the service as commissioned 2nd Lts. Of course, further training will be provided in each service. Like if you go to PAF, you'll receive further training at the PAF Flying School in Pampanga (Basa AB, I think).

As for the ROTC, once you've completed an ROTC course in college, you'll be commissioned as a reserve 2nd Lt. You can apply for activation if you want to go to active duty. I do not know if you can choose which service you wish to go through, though. Someone else here should be able to answer that.

Naval officers come from both PMA and the civilian sector. However, since we do not have a naval academy, naval officers undergo a Naval OFficer's Qualification Course. Previously, even PMAyers underwent this course although they were already commissioned officers when they did. Others from the civilian sector were probationary ensigns unless they were already commissioned in another branch. I understand that in PMA nowadays, cadets already choose their branch of service earlier so they have some training during summer.

gentlemen,

with your kind help, i would like to know where to apply for a philippine navy. i'm 28 years old and working outside the country. is there possibility?

thanks to all.
