My SSB Interview Experience Recommended For Indian Army TGC 123

SSB Recommended For TGC 123

I knew I have it in me. It’s just a matter of time. Hello everyone out there. My ssb was scheduled on 9th Feb and it was my 3rd ssb. Earlier I was screened out for my last two attempts. And I know the pain of being rejected at the very first day. Being from a defense background; a fauji brat more precisely; it was a dream to get commissioned.

Being average in studies, I somehow was not able to clear any of the written exams but i prepared for it every time. One fateful day I got a call for TGC entry and I decided to put my heart and soul to it. I prepared hard but damn I was screened out . Same happened other time. But I knew THAT thing is in me. I didn’t give up.

I would like to highlight the reasons of my failure:

1. Preconceived ideas definitely hamper your PPDT and same happened with me as I wrote the story apart from the scene and concluded it in a way already decided.
2. Getting nervous or overconfident in discussion and keep on interrupting everybody.

This time I avoided these things and got screened in.

As happy as ever.

Rest of the days were good with active participation in GTO tasks by keeping it simple like discussions before doing any group task and listening everyone and not imposing your thoughts on others. Also, in snake race be with your group and help everyone.

Follow the instructions clearly because sometimes they change a rule in GTO. In my case, It was like no one will shout the chest no. From bridge. Few person did as preconceived and they were targeted by the GTO sir.SSB Recommended For TGC 123

You get to show your individual skill in command task and make it count.

Now comes the interview part.

Must things:

  1. Know about yourself perfectly and that includes what you do,where you live, your area and locality,education everything.
  2. The decision taken by you in your life and most importantly why you took the decisions. You must know every reason for the decisions else you may b regarded as careless and irresponsible.
  3. No lies
  4. A look at the world about what is happening around you. Basic news and geo political views must.
  5. For defense background, keep yourself updated with your father’s unit,dress,posting everything.
  6. The answers you don’t know kindly say that you don’t know the answer and if you are making a guess please tell them that you are guessing it. And before the conference get all the answers clear.
  7. TGC guys kindly brush up your basic technical skills because I was asked about 30 mins only technical questions.

The questions which were asked to me

  • Crisis of middle east
  • Suez canal
  • Chinese currency’s devaluation
  • Crude oil prices downfall
  • Educational decision
  • Dinner etiquette
  • About Indian Air Force
  • near about dozen of technical questions
  • PIQ form
  • International and national current affairs like what’s in news
  • sports news about games that I play few others like boxing and tennis

At last, the key to success is self-assessment and that to failure is preconceived ideas.

Barak-8 Missile
Barak-8 Missile

Hello, Warriors, India is one of the most rapidly growing militaries in the world. With the test firing of Agni I ballistic missile and Agni IV ballistic missile, it has expanded its intercontinental strike range. India has evolved from a regional force with tactical capabilities to a growing strategic force with global reach. Though most of the Indian weapons are imported from other countries, it doesn’t give India an upper hand during the conflict with these countries.

Here are the 6 weapons that allow Indian Armed Forces to strike at any corner of the world:

  1. BrahMos Missile: BrahMos is the world’s fastest cruise missile in operation travelling at speeds of Mach 2.8 to 3.0. The land-launched and ship-launched versions are already in service, with the air and submarine-launched versions currently in the testing phase. An air-launched variant of BrahMos is planned which came out in 2012. A hypersonic version of the missile, BrahMos-II, is also presently under development with speed of Mach 7 to boost aerial fast strike capability. It is expected to be ready for testing by 2017. India is now the only nation in the world with this advanced technology.

    BrahMos supersonic cruise missile

  1. Prithvi Missiles: Prithvi is a tactical surface-to-surface short-range ballistic missile (SRBM). Prithvi was the first missile to be developed under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme of the Indian Government. The Prithvi missile project encompassed developing 3 variants for use by the Indian Army (Prithvi I), Indian Air Force (Prithvi II) and Indian Navy (Prithvi III), all of which are currently inducted into the respective forces.

    Prithvi Missiles
    Prithvi Missiles
  1. Shaurya Missile: Shaurya is a canister launched hypersonic surface-to-surface tactical missile. They can remain hidden or camouflaged in underground silos from enemy surveillance or satellites till they are fired from the special storage-cum-launch canisters. The first lot of this missile has entered production and these missiles are also inducted in the military.

  1. Agni Missiles: The Agni series of missiles is a family of medium to intercontinental range ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear load. The Agni missile family comprises three deployed variants (Agni I, II, III) while two more variants (Agni IV and Agni V) are under testing. These missiles enable Indian military to strike at intercontinental ranges.

AIR DEFENCE MISSILE SYSTEMS

  1. PAD/AAD Ballistic Missile Defence System: To counter the threats of attacks from Ballistic missiles, Indian Ballistic Missile Defence Programme has been introduced. Prithvi Air Defence (PAD) and Advanced Air Defence (AAD) is an initiative to develop and deploy a multi-layered ballistic missile defence system to protect from ballistic missile attacks.

  1. Barak-8 Missile: The Barak-8 missile, which has recently been test-fired is a surface-to-air missile (SAM), designed to defend against any type of airborne threat including aircraft, helicopters, anti-ship missiles, and UAVs as well as cruise missiles and combat jets out to a maximum range of 70 km. Upgradations are being carried out to increase the range up to 100 km.

Muslims In The Armed Forces

So, someone asked this question on Quora and got a very sensible reply. Indian army doesn’t believe in any specific religion and consists of soldiers from each and every part of the country, no matter how much %age of soldiers from a particular caste are serving in the army.

Indian army protects the nation 24×7 and what makes it possible is the unity in the forces, where soldiers take bullets for each others irrespective of their caste or religion.

Muslims In Indian Army

Muslims In Indian Army

That’s how real patriots and defence aspirants don’t care about Religion BS in Armed Forces. We are here to protect the nation and people who put a specific religion in front for their selfish goals won’t survive for long. This young generation is much more intellectual and sensible.

Indian Army is one of the finest institutions in the country and any attempt to malign its name by bringing in religion will be met with staunch resistance

What do you think, share this post and show the world that Indian army is united, Jai Hind!

17 Phrases Only Military People Will Understand

By
SSBCrackExams
-
0
Indian Military Phrases

Hello, Warriors. Military jargon usually reflects phrases that sound pretty funny to people outside the military. Words such as “Roger,” “Affirmative,” and “Execute” would give you an idea.

These phrases are used by anyone from a Sepoy to Senior Officers. Their family have gotten so used to them that they don’t blink an eye when they hear them. But to the uninitiated, particularly no-military-civil-people they sound ludicrous.

Here are 17 sayings that make Army soldiers sound like “What?!”:

  1. Field Strip:

It’s not as funny as it sounds. It literally refers to taking apart weapons to the extent authorized for routine cleaning, lubrication, and minor repairs while in the field. Field stripping can also be used informally to describe taking apart anything.

  1. ..And a Wake-up:

No, it is nowhere related to sleep. “And a wake-up” means the penultimate day before the last day of the deadline. If you were to leave for new posting on Friday and you were informed about it this Monday, you’ll be staying here for 3 days and a wake-up, starting Monday.

  1. “Contact. Wait out”:

Communication over the radio comes with all manner of unique turns of phrase designed to keep communication short and understandable. “Contact wait out” are the words soldiers dream of and fear saying in equal measure. They’re the first thing they say when they’ve been engaged by the enemy!

  1. Make a hole:

‘Make a hole’ is the preferred method to tell a group of people to get out of your way. So, the next time you go out to a civil public place and land up saying “Make a hole for me”, be ready to experience the fastest physical reaction from them which eventually might hurt your jaws.

  1. Roger that: Meaning “got it” or “okay”
  1. P.O.V.:

Aka, personally owned vehicle, this three-syllable acronym is widely used as a replacement to the much shorter and more universally recognized term, “car.” Because, military baebay!

  1. Zero dark thirty:

This means really very early in the day. Literally, zero dark means, 12’o clock in night and thirty means ’30 minutes after zero dark’. But it has been used widely to refer a very early programme referring to first light or dawn.

  1. Nut to Butt:

This might give a newbie a very hard laugh. Very literally, it means put your nuts on the butt in front of you – said specifically when space is tight or when a situation dictates close proximity of many bodies. Yes, this is used on women soldiers as well!

  1. Hurry up and wait:

This means that you get things taken care of, only to sit and wait for things to progress to move forward. Pretty ironic, isn’t it?

  1. Gleaming:

It should come as no surprise that a culture so obsessed with polish and shine uses “gleaming” to describe something as good, desirable or brilliant. Not even “Shining like a star” can describe it as “Gleaming” does. So if something is gleaming you’re probably onto a good thing.

  1. Got your 6:

In the military, 6 means ‘back’. So, got your 6 means ‘I got your back’. 

  1. Buckshee:

A term adopted by the Army in World War I, ‘Buckshee’ is derived from the word “baksheesh”. In today’s Army it refers to kit and equipment that is “off the record” i.e. tucked away in someone’s room and not in the Quarter Master’s store where it’s probably meant to be.

  1. Standby:

This means “hold on a sec”. No, it’s not the same when your girlfriend tells it to you when you are already late for something.

  1. Mandatory fun:

It is used when you’re required to be somewhere at a specific place and time, usually a work function. I wish it meant as literal as it is!

  1. FUBAR:

F*cked up beyond all reason.  Things are usually pretty messed up at this point. Don’t ever, ever, EVER let a military man say this to you. If he did already, then run for your life.

  1. The ABCD of military:

A=Alpha, B=Bravo, C=Charlie, D=Delta, E=Echo, F=Foxtrot, G=Golf, H=Hotel, I=India, J=Juliet, K=Kilo, L=Lima, M=Mike, N=November, O=Oscar, P=Papa, Q=Quebec, R=Romeo, S=Sierra, T=Tango, U=Uniform, V=Victor, W=Whiskey,  X=X-ray, Y=Yankee, Z=-Zulu.

  1. Bravo Zulu or “BZ”:

Don’t think it to be more complicated. This sound so much cooler than saying “well done”. So Bravo Zulu visiting ssbcrack.com!

Because “For those of you who have done well, Well Done! For those of you who didn’t do quite so well, Bloody Well Done Anyway!”
