I Got Recommended In My 8th Attempt For Indian Army

girl ssb recommended from SSB Allahabad

Hello, friends. I am Surbhi Gupta, “Recommended Candidate” for Indian Army in SSC (W) Tech Entry, 17 th course. I got recommended in my 8th attempt from SSB, Selection Centre, Allahabad. I was always attracted towards the olive green uniform with stars on shoulders. My first SSB was in June 2012 at AFSB, Mysore. There, I went with some preparation but got conferenced out. Subsequently, I prepared well but faced multiple rejections from various SSBs despite my efforts to improve my performance in every attempt. Especially if you are a “Repeater”, it is very important to perform really extraordinarily. For this extra ordinary performance one has to really work hard to improve upon many parameters like improving own weaknesses, sharpening Officer Like Qualities (OLQs), general knowledge, communication skills and the most important is to develop ‘can do and never give up’ attitude.

For my 8th attempt, I took training from Brigadier Harish Chande (Retd), who is at Nashik, Maharashtra. He trained me in great details to improve my overall aptitude for the SSB interview, level of intelligence & reasoning, all personality skills, GK & awareness and sharpened my ability to take on each test at the SSB.  He also built up my attitude and values which are vital to emerge as a successful candidate in a group. Brigadier Chande Sir is Ex President of SSB, Director of Recruiting Indian Army, Sr Interviewing Officer, Sr GTO and a member of Psych faculty DIPR, Delhi. He is also a war veteran and has great experience in anti terrorists operations.

I would like to specially advice the candidates to take this scientific training from Brigadier Chande Sir. I can vouch that his guidance, notes and training methods are scientific and extremely effective to qualify in SSB interview. His contact number is 09272225698, Nashik.girl ssb recommended from SSB Allahabad

Then, finally I went for my SSB at Allahabad. Right from the day of screening I performed my best. During all the 5 days I bore in my mind that SSB is a test and loosing focus from your performance would really cost high. I kept all the things taught by Chande Sir in mind and with a very good back up of homework, I was able to emerge as “Recommended” candidate. Now I am looking forward to my pre-commission training. You can ask me any related questions, if you have, at my email id [email protected].

I also want to advise more girls to apply for the excellent job of a class-1 officer in the Indian Armed Forces. Candidates can also refer for education details, various entries and notifications in following sites www.joinindianarmy.nic.in, http://www.indiannavy.gov.in/,   http://www.indianairforce.nic.in/, http://www.indiancoastguard.nic.in/,   www.upsc.gov.in

AFCAT 2017 Maths Tips and Tricks

0
AFCAT Maths 2016

As AFCAT exam is approaching, candidates are facing problems in subjects and topics. Many candidates find it hard to cope up with their respective subjects of problems. Well, maths has been a headache for some people while some people find it a scoring section of AFCAT exam.

First of all, let’s get through the syllabus of numerical ability of AFCAT. This part contains a question related to Decimal Fraction, Simplification, Average, profit & loss, Percentage, Ratio & Proportion and Simple interest. Here a thing that emerges is that when the syllabus is short, the type of questions asked can be wide. If we look back on the previous year’s papers, the level of questions is average. Now we will shed light over some tips and tricks that will surely help the candidates to bridge their problem in the math section of AFCAT exams.AFCAT Maths 2016

Clear basics of maths– Some basic thing as repeated every time in maths. So every candidate is required to have complete hold over the basics of maths. Now the question arises that what those basics means. Basics means average, ratios, number system, BODMAS, decimals, etc. everybody is aware of these terms and even guarantee their expertise over these topics. But still when they solve sample questions, they find several types of question which are hard enough to solve.

Short tricks saves time– As maths means speed coupled with accuracy and objective exams don’t need the way candidates solved the question. The only thing required is the correct answer. What it means is using short tricks for candidate’s calculation. Ratios and proportion use a cross to multiply in most of the questions. And if we take example of profit and loss questions, solving these questions by taking CP as 100 is the easiest, effective and most used trick to solve these questions and can help candidates to solve questions easily without putting different questions.

Formulas on tips – As the syllabus of AFCAT is not too wide candidates can easily commemorate the formulas of the topics. If we look at the syllabus of AFCAT, the topic which includes formulas are simple interest and profit and loss. While other topics decimal simplification average percentage ratios and proportion need basics and calculation perfection.

Skip confusing questions – The standard of maths questions in AFCAT is not too hard. But still the race to complete all questions, candidates sometimes got stuck in some question and confused mind consumes more time and still don’t get answered. Don’t struggle to solve it. Skip it and jump to the next question and continue. If candidates find extra time or get a hind about that question, then only pick that question again. And don’t try to attempt those questions in which you are not sure because negative marking can reduce your score.

Solve sample papers – Practice is the key and rough work is the way to get hold in maths. Formulas can never alone make candidates to solve all kinds of questions. So what candidates need is to practice. Candidates can go through AFCAT previous years question papers from SSBcrack link given below. Or candidates can opt other books for AFCAT from different publications like Arihant, Upkar etc…. Practice hard, and paperwork is most in maths.

Meet Garud Commando Sailesh Gaur, Took 6 Bullets Kept On Fighting For An Hour During Pathankot Attack

Garud Commando Sailesh Gaur

The calendar had just turned – it was the early hours of January 2. A helicopter with thermal imagers was getting ready to take-off and scan the Pathankot Air Base based on an alert that the high-value military asset was to be targeted by terrorists.

Within a few minutes of being air borne, the thermal imagers beamed down images of four suspects. They were first spotted in the dense jungle at the rear of the Mechanical Transport Area in the 2000-acre compound. Roughly 45 minutes later, the Mi-35 attack helicopter that was flying over the base with thermal sensors would beam back pictures to ground which showed the terrorist had moved just a few meters from their earlier location – to store huts of the Mechanical Transport base.Garud Commando Sailesh Gaur

Gursevak took cover behind a heavy earth-mover along with his buddy even as they made first contact. Gursevak took three bullets, but kept fighting.

Seeing Gursevak down, Sailesh and Katal – the second team – moved in quickly using Israel-made rifles and machine guns to return the terrorists’ fire. Then, Sailesh was hit – more than half a dozen bullets in his lower abdomen. Bleeding profusely, he didn’t abandon his post and, with buddy Katal, kept the operation going for nearly an hour, while they waited for  back- up and replenishment.garud commando 1933923_1087339487983816_2845053095281501898_n 1937092_1087339481317150_3594591470780456129_n

The terrorists then managed to sneak out of the Mechanical Transport area, but were stopped from reaching the technical area  – where they could have damaged the fighter jets and attack helicopters that are crucial for the Air Force.

The operation to eliminate them lasted nearly 80 hours and martyred seven military personnel and injured 20 – including Sailesh.

He was evacuated three hours after being pummelled with bullets to the hospital just outside the base. The 24 year-old from Ambala is now fighting for his life.

“They were moving slowly, to avoid any detection,” a senior IAF official told NDTV.

At about 3 am, 12 Garud Commandos were deployed. Three teams of “buddy” pairs were deployed outside the Mechanical Transport Wing to prevent the suspects from moving. Another three pairs of commandos were asked to launch the attack on the Pakistanis.

As a tribute to Pathankot terror attack martyr, National Security Guard (NSG) officer Lieutenant Colonel Niranjan Kumar, a group of Indian hackers have attacked a host of Pakistani websites on Wednesday, 6 January.

The Indian Black Hats hacker group has attacked more than six websites, and it is being dedicated to the officer’s two-year-old daughter Vismaya. “We hacked some Pakistan websites and domains as a tribute to the bravehearts who were killed in the Pathankot attack on Sunday, and we have dedicated it to Lt Col Niranjan Kumar’s little daughter Vismaya,” a hacker named Ind_C0d3r told IBTimes India.indian-hackers-hack-pak-websites

However, the hackers haven’t deleted the contents of the websites as it is not a cyber war, and they call it a tribute to the martyrs of the attack. “We haven’t deleted the contents of the websites, but have just uploaded our message on their domains, as the intention is to give Pakistan a warning,” Ind_Cod3r added.

Indian Black Hats (IBH) is a team of hackers with members from all over India. It started in 2011 with the name Indian Cyber Devils. It was in 2014 that they changed their name to IBH. In November 2014, IBH was in news after attacking 10 Pakistani websites and other domains as a tribute to the martyrs of the Mumbai terror attacks, which took place on 26 November, 2008.

8 Things Common To Every Defence Aspirant

8 Things Common To Every Defence Aspirant

Hello, Warriors! Ask any defence brat, being in the armed forces is the most realistic and proud thing that one can be in- the respect you get from the society, the pride when your dad/you go out in uniform and the celebrity like feeling when everyone stares at you in that uniform.

The feelings can truly not be described. Especially, when you, yourself want to become one of it- one in the armed forces. There is so much common in every defence aspirant in every corner of the country, like:

  1. The will to join the armed forces: Yes, just think about it. What reply would you give to someone when they ask you what you are going to do in later life? You can proudly say with a broad chest that you will join the armed forces. Nothing can beat that subconscious and proud happiness within you.
  1. The respect for the nation and national flag: It’s not that everyone doesn’t respect the national flag, but there is something within the defence aspirants that makes us respect it naturally. Like, standing up when the national anthem is played during a cricket match between India other nation or like watching the Republic Day parade religiously every year.
  1. Willpower: There is always a force within us that keeps on saying, “buddy, don’t stop till you make it. It’s not the time. A little hard work now and it will be a bright future ahead!” And you get back on track preparing to join the forces.
  1. Enthusiasm: This, my friends, is the identity of the defence aspirants. Where ever you go, whatever you do, your enthusiasm never goes down. You always find a way to extract happiness from the tiniest moments around.8 Things Common To Every Defence Aspirant
  1. The closeness you feel when you come through someone belonging to the defence background too: You feel like you know them and have already met them a long ago. There’s no formality between you too, not even a formal introduction. Because you know that it’s going to last forever.
  1. The goose bumps when you see a war movie or the big battle guns: That is not new to you. You have always seen them spread in and around the cantonment where you live in and your dads probably have seen war(s). But, still, it gives you goose bumps when you see it working live because you’ve always wanted to see it that way.
  1. The pride you feel when you say someone that you are from defence background and get “That’s fking cool” as a reply: And, and, if you are one from an Army Public School, I bet you have been asked at least once that whether you get training in there or not. Yes people, we understand. But be educated that it’s just a school run by the Army and is not a military training academy! 

And finally,

  1. Visiting SSBCrack regularly: I do hope that I’ve hit the pointer right this time. Where else can the 10 lac (and increasing, mind you) aspirants get such motivation and inspiration from?

Do you have something that you feel is common between all the defence aspirants apart from these? Do share with us and let us know.

4 Indian Army Commanding Officers Who Led From The Front And Became Heroes

Indian Army is known for its brave soldiers who never back down from the situation and do their job, even when they have to sacrifice their lives to protect the nation. Since long you must be watching the stories of brave soldiers who martyred while protecting us. Here, we are showing you 5 commanding officers of Indian army who led from the front and became inspirations for future soldiers.

Colonel Rai

Colonel Rai was the Commanding Officer of 42 Rashtriya Rifles (42 RR) and was known to lead from the front.  When he was killed, his status on popular messaging service WhatsApp read, “Play your role in life with such passion, that even after the curtains come down, the applause doesn’t stop.”  That message was posted two months ago.

Colonel Santosh Mahadik

The officer, who originally belonged to the elite 21 Para unit of the Special Forces, was awarded Sena Medal (Gallantry) for his exceptional service and leadership as a young officer while fighting the terrorists in Lolab Valley in Kupwara in 2003.  He took a bullet in his chest while commanding the 41 Rashtriya Rifles, during an encounter with terrorists in Manigah forest area of Kupwara.4 Indian Army Commanding Officers Who Led From The Front And Became Heroes

Lieutenant Colonel Sankalp Kumar

Lieutenant Colonel Sankalp Kumar of 24 Punjab Regiment who was killed in the fidayeen attack in Uri had survived a similar battle in 2004, when he sustained three bullet injuries in the stomach in an attack by Pakistani militants in Srinagar. The only son of his Ranchi-based parents, 35-year-old Kumar is survived by two daughters (aged two and nine) and wife who live in Patna. Retired Colonel N C Deogharia, a neighbour of Kumar at Ranchi’s Sainik Colony, said: “Kumar always led from the front. The bullets he faced in 2004 emboldened his spirits to fight the militants. We will always be proud of him.”

Lt Col Niranjan

Lt Col Niranjan, a member of the NSG’s Bomb Disposal Squad, was killed while he was defusing the grenade at the scene of the terror attack as part of the combing operations that continued through the night. Four other security men were also injured in the blast. Lt Col Niranjan was a brave officer who led from the front when the situation demanded.

All You Need To Know About Barak-8 Missile Test Launch

0
Barak-8 Missile

Hello, Warriors! In a boost to India’s maritime prowess, the Navy on December 30th, successfully test-fired the nearly 70 KM range Surface to Air Missile Barak 8 from INS Kolkata, paving the way for installation of the system, developed jointly by India and Israel, on board country’s frontline warships.

The interceptors were fired from the heart of the Indian Ocean from an Indian Navy ship, striking their targets successfully.

Here are the 10 things you need to keep yourself updated about this advancement:

  1. The missile system is designed to protect naval ships and offshore gas rigs from hostile aircraft, missiles and rockets. The system’s advanced digital phased-array radar, dubbed Barak Adir by the navy, is produced by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), the primary contractor.
  2. IAI also makes the system’s fire control station, while the interceptor missile is produced by Rafael.
  3. The Barak 8 radar can detect threats at over 100 km, that it could become fully operational in a matter of months.
  4. Once airborne, the missile continues to receive data from the radar system, which predicts the threat’s trajectory, and enables the missile to adjust its own path before destroying the target.
  5. The missile deploys its own electromagnetic sensor as it approaches the target, guiding it on its last phase.
  6. The Barak 8 radar can track multiple targets simultaneously, dividing its energy to cover half a sphere around a naval ship.Barak-8 Missile
  7. The system is already installed on at least one Israel Navy ship, and on an Indian Navy ship.
  8. Apart from the missile, the system includes a Multi-Functional Surveillance and Threat Alert Radar (MF STAR) for detection, tracking and guidance of the missile.
  9. Israel made MF-STAR radar system is capable of simultaneously tracking hundreds of airborne targets to a range of more than 250 KM. DRDL, Hyderabad, a DRDO Lab, has jointly developed this missile in collaboration with Israel Aerospace Industries.
  10. These Surface-to-Air Missiles are fitted onboard the Kolkata Class Destroyers and would also be fitted on all future major warships of the Navy.

Designed to defend against a variety of short-to-long -range airborne threats, including fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, drones and projectiles, Barak-8 incorporates phased array multi-mission radar, two-way data link, and a flexible command and control system, enabling users to simultaneously engage multiple targets day and night.

With the successful proving of these systems, the Indian Navy has become part of a select group of Navies that have this niche capability, which would provide a fillip to India’s maritime operations.

Project ‘Ghatak’ – A Boost To India’s UAV Needs

Project ‘Ghatak’ – A Boost To India’s UAV Needs

Hello, Budding Warriors! After the success of Mars mission Mangalyan and working on the satellite navigation system IRNSS, expected to launch next year, India is all set to make its own stealth combat drones or UCAVs (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles). It will have a new breed of combat drones which will be a boost to ‘Made-in-India’.

This will boost the country’s capability to launch air assaults beyond its borders that will have the ability to fire precision-guided munitions and head back base. The project named Ghatak is waiting for government nod. The Rs. 2650 crore project is expected to get clearance soon.

Project Ghatak was initiated by Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) in collaboration with Indian Air Force (IAF) and is expected to take 15 years.

The project comes as a result of successfully completed AURA (Autonomous Unmanned Research Aircraft) program, sanctioned in 2009 at a cost of Rs. 12.5 crores to study the feasibility and make a conceptual framework for future Indian UCAV.

The UCAVs will be powered by indigenously-developed 52-kilonewton dry variant of the Kaveri aerospace engine which was earlier used in the LCA Tejas. The thrust provided by the Kaveri engine was not enough to power Tejas throughout its flight envelope but it is now expected that the Kaveri derivative engine (“dry” engine), without after burner, will provided enough juice to power UCAVs and will also feature ‘flying-wing’ design similar to the US’ B-2 Spirit, a stealth bomber.Project ‘Ghatak’ – A Boost To India’s UAV Needs

The only UCAVs currently in India’s inventory are the Harop UCAVs purchased from Israel. Harop UCAV is different from UCAV that is in consideration with the Indian government since this is a Kamikaze type of aircraft, where the drone itself is the main munition and is designed to self-destuct as it attacks its target.

Even as the government looks to augment the strength of combat drones, it looks like it will eventually have different aircrafts in its inventory, even as DRDO is working on Rustom-2, an indigenous armed drone.

India also uses the Israeli Heron and Searcher-II UAVs for surveillance and reconnaissance for the Indian Army and Indian Air Force in forward areas. UCAVs on the other hand, are more advanced than UAVs, which are likely to revolutionize the war front in the near future itself.

However, it may be atleast a decade before the UCAV takes to the skies to defend India’s borders and engage targets.

Indian Army’s Future Soldier Program Is Straight Out Of A Hollywood Flick

0
future soldier Indian Army

Hello, Warriors! Who don’t like kickass action movies with the latest tech and systems exhibited in it? Be it Iron Man or Mission Impossible, we all have had a moment where our jaws just dropped with the thought – “That’s soo cool…”

What if this was in real? Nevertheless, the Indian army is planning to equip its soldiers with the latest tech and systems for combat.

The Indian Army has decided to junk the Future Infantry Soldier As a System (F-INSAS) program in favor of two separate projects. This will make our soldiers the most fiercely equipped soldiers on the planet.

Earlier, F-INSAS had been taken up to equip Indian infantry with advanced weaponry, communication network and instant access to information on the battlefield. This program was similar to the future soldier programs of other nations. F-INSAS included a fully networked all-terrain, all-weather personal-equipment platform, enhanced firepower and mobility for the digitalized battlefield of the future. The weight carried by soldiers were needed to be reduced by at least 50%.

But, the program has been scrapped and the bifurcation has been done keeping in mind the defence budget and convenience.

The new program will have two components: one arming the modern infantry soldier with the best available assault rifle, carbines and personal equipment such as the helmet and bulletproof vests and the second component is the Battlefield Management Systems (BMS).

Also Read: Field Formation In The Indian Army

The first one being ‘Arming the modern infantry soldier’ under which, our ‘special forces’ commandos will be loaded with the world’s best under-barrel grenade launcher assault rifles, carbines and hand grenades. They will be protected with equipment such as non-flammable, waterproofed, hard ballistic protected and bulletproof helmets, visors and vests.  The new attire will enable commandos to carry extra loads and resist the impact of nuclear, radiological, chemical and biological warfare. The uniforms will also be fitted with external and internal oxygen supply, fire-proof knee and elbow pads and hand gloves and laser eye protection goggles.

In the BMS category goes all the communication and optical equipment of a modern soldier which includes palm-top communication equipment and the helmet mounted cameras.

It is something straight out of an action movie. Our commandos will be equipped with Palmtop GPS navigation devices, world’s most advanced satellite phones, Integrated Multifunction Sight Device Night Vision Equipment, Thermal Imager, Laser Range-Finder, Colour Charge-Coupled-Device (CCD) Camera,  Digital Magnetic Compass, Integrated Electro-Optical Surveillance and Fire Control Systems and advanced GPS receivers.

The list of sensors our soldiers will be carrying is just mind blowing – infrared sensors, thermal sensors, electro optical sensors, spectroscopic sensors, electromagnetic and radio frequency sensors. What’s even better is that this entire kickass technology is weatherproof and all-terrain tested.

The assault weapon field trials are going on: there are four kinds, Baretta (Italy), Colt (USA), Bren (Czech) and Tavor (Israel). The last has already been chosen for Indian Special Forces.

Also Read: 10 Assault Rifles Used By Indian Armed Forces

The army adopted the program in a way that keeps the infantry soldier less burdened by technology, and more agile to carry out his tasks. That means there is no F-INSAS program any more and it has been overthrown by the new “Future Soldier” program.

The program strongly relies on indigenous DRDO-led development of this technology with massive support from Israel.

Once equipped with tech and advanced weaponry, Indian special forces will be able to operate in virtually any and every sort of battle scenario
