🎖️ 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. ⚓
