Ever wished of riding a tank? Ever dream of flying a fighter plane? Ever thought of sailing warship?
If you wish to ride a tank and protect the lands of your country join the “INDIAN ARMY”. If you dreamt of flying a fighter plane and protect the skies of your country, join the “INDIAN AIR FORCE”. If you think of sailing a warship and protect the waters of your country, join the “INDIAN NAVY”.
If you want your wish to be fulfilled, your dreams come true and your thoughts turn into reality, then join the “Indian Armed Forces”. You can become an officer at the minimum age of 21 years only but only if you have fire in your belly and a heart like that of a tiger. Anyone aspiring of joining the Indian Armed Forces must have a good intellect, courage, will, determination and passion for it.
We should be proud of the men of our Armed Forces who live in such a rough and tough life so that we can live a life without fear, terror or any danger of the enemy. They perform their duties with great zeal and enthusiasm in the sun burning deserts and barrens of Rajasthan as well as in the bone crushing snow & severe cold of Siachin. They protect us from the external danger as well as they are there in the states of Jammu and Kashmir, Nagaland, Assam etc. to protect the people living in these states from various militants activities inside the states.
We should be proud of our Army which fought the Kabulis and protected Kashmir in 1948 and bravely faced the sudden Chinese intrusion in Ladakh region (J & K) in 1962. We must admire our Armed Forces which fought the wars of 1965 and 1971 against Pakistan’s forces and badly defeated them. It was real wonder that our Army’s determination forced about 1 lakh soldiers of Pakistan’s Army to surrender before it in the war of 1971. Not to forget the Kargil conflict in which our Army inspite of severe cold, high altitude and inhospitable conditions fought the enemies sitting on high hills of the Batalik Sector (Ladakh) and forced them to flee.
Think of our several brave soldiers and officers like Maj. Somnath Sharma (P.V.C.), Lt. Arun Khetrpal(P.V.C.(P)), Lt. Sourabh Kalia, Lt. Manoj Pandey, Capt. Vikram Batra(P.V.C.), Maj. Ajay Singh Jasrotia(V.C.),..etc. who fought for the safety and honour of their country and sacrificed their lives at their very early ages. But no one thinks about them. Who has the time? Everyone is busy in discussing his or her personal affairs with others or in thinking about Hrithik Roshan and Salman Khan, everyone dreams to be like them. They are their heroes. There are few who realize that the real heroes are those who sacrificed and are scarifying their lives for their country, their motherland.
The feeling of even doing something for the country’s sake is dying in today’s youths so what to talk of sacrificing life for the country. That is the reason there is scarcity of several thousand officers in the “Indian Army”.
The youths of today want to earn money and live an easy and luxurious life. Life in the Armed Forces is a challenge. So, those who can accept this challenge those who have dying feelings for their motherland, those who can live rough and tough life, those who have an apetite to digest the enemy’s bullets should try their level best to join the Indian Armed Forces.
The “British General Chetwood” on the inaugural ceremony of the “Chetwood Hall” of the Indian Military Academy (Dehradun) told the Army Cadets:-
“The safety, honour, and welfare of your country come first always and every time. The honour, welfare and comfort of the men you command come next. Your own ease, comfort and safety come last always and every time.”
