The peace and order situation there is stable. Geographically, the presence of a military installation in an area tends to negate an insurgent presence. The absence of typhoons in the area translates to more flying days. Training could be shortened from 18 months to as short as 12-14 months. Check Manokski's website for air bases.

Baguio has a cool climate which makes most of the PMA cadets used to it. See them during the Independence Day parades many are collapsing. Matatag pa ang PMMA midshipmen and those from PNPA. as far as i know, sa last AFP day parade na nagparticipate ang PMA there was no single casualty of collapsing cadet during the drill nor the parade sa men in rankssaka sa mass colors pero sa PMMA one platoon leader collapsed while on drill.. he literally kiss the ground. the last independence day parade na nagparticipate ang PMA there was no case of collapsing cadet... saka ang PNPA ang hindi nakapagkeep in step while marching with the big flag...

Not even our plebes. Not even with our PMMA comrades. But then that was in the 70s were the times were "kinder and gentler". Hell hath no fury than the storm that befalls a cadet who bogs down. To prepare for those parades, our uniform for morning and noon mess was with Shako a week or more before the activity. The penalty was harsh. No privilege for the duration of the trip. Possible confinement and cancellation of break. Maximum Class II punishment. Exercises in athletic uniform infront of the TAC-O billet immediately after the parade. It was not uncommon to see cadets delivering a butt stroke on themselves just to keep themselves from passing out. Our PMMA friends did the same to themselves.

It was the "goose step march" that caught my attention, it was beautiful at the same time terrifying, the thumping of their boots signifies discipline, strength, and instilling fear .The North Korean soldiers and the NAZI storm troopers are using the same scary march step. What if the AFP turn to goose step march? I know that democratic countries don't use that march because of its association with fascsism and Nazism, but Chile a democratic country is still using the goose step. What do you think Pendejo?

I know that democratic countries don't use that march because of its association with fascsism and Nazism, but Chile a democratic country is still using the goose step. What do you think Pendejo? You also have to look at what happens when the goose-step is done wrong -- bloody awful. Better to stick to the simple march -- after all, parade functions are not the primary function of the AFP. Pendejo The absence of typhoons in the area translates to more flying days. Training could be shortened from 18 months to as short as 12-14 months. Furthermore, it would spread the joy around. Too many things are concentrated in Luzon in general, and the capital in particular. Such a practice simply lends credence to the Bangsa Moro's claim that the Philippines is an occupying power in Mindanao. General Santos City -- where Rajah Buayan is -- would also be a great place for Naval Academy. Too bad cost will be an issue. There used to be a rumor that the US wanted to establish a naval base in Sarangani bay, so there must be something said for that.
