This week at Maine Maritime Academy, our students are putting their knowledge and training to the test as they sit for U.S. Coast Guard licensing exams. ⚓️📚

A total of 65 students are testing on campus, with 27 Deck students taking their 3rd Mate exams and 38 Engine students sitting... for their 3rd Assistant Engineer exams—key milestones within our unlimited license programs (MTO, MEO, MET, and MSE5).

The exams are administered by the U.S. Coast Guard Boston Regional Exam Center and include seven rigorous modules, each lasting 3.5 hours. These exams are taken by students graduating in May or those who completed their academic requirements this fall.

Best of luck to all of our midshipmen—we’re proud of your hard work and dedication as you take this important step toward your maritime careers!

🎖️ Congratulations to John Alexander and Jacob Hintermaier on their commissioning! 🎖️

On December 6, John Alexander and Jacob Hintermaier took the oath and officially began their service as commissioned officers—an achievement that reflects years of dedication, discipline, and ...leadership at Maine Maritime Academy.

For John Alexander, the moment was “an absolute honor—an honor to wear the cloth of this great nation and serve it to my best possible ability.” Reflecting afterward, he summed it up simply: “WOW, I did it. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this dream a reality.” His advice to future MIDN? “Have fun, serve your country and peers with pride, be humble, and enjoy this moment.”

Jacob Hintermaier shared that commissioning “feels great” and that he was truly honored and humbled by the opportunity. Looking ahead, his message to future MIDN is a reminder to savor the journey: “Enjoy your time at MMA—it goes by fast.”

We are proud of both John and Jacob and wish them fair winds and following seas as they begin this next chapter of service. ⚓
