CAREER CHOICES IN ARMED FORCES

““YOU HAVE NEVER LIVED UNTIL

YOU HAVE ALMOST DIED,

AND FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO FIGHT,

LIFE HAS A SPECIAL FLAVOR,

THE PROTECTED WILL NEVER KNOW !!!””

-Captain R. Subramanian

A soldier’s uniform is not a mere piece of cloth, it was something much more.

It represented the patriotism that a soldier feels towards his nation, the fellowship with his peers, sacrifices made by the jawans and the officers in protecting their motherland.

The uniform represents the struggles, the freedom, the ethics, values and morals of the forces.

Youngsters must at least give a thought to the Armed forces when they are busy looking up for a better career.

But there is a big difference in dreaming, thinking and executing.

The patriotic feeling and the respect that the forces ingrain into each and every individual towards their motherland, and that in fact is the most important aspect, which unfortunately many of us have relegated only to 2 days-Republic Day & Independence Day.
