The recent visit of US President Barack Obama has made him popular amongst the Indian population. Obama is considered to one of the finest and most popular leader in the world currently. He is people’s favorite and the way he won hearts of Indians in his recent visit is a proof of that. I am sure, you as a follower of SSBCrack would have followed a series of articles we published regarding his visit to India. So here I am presenting you with some of his qualities from which you can learn something:
Intelligence: Obama is very intelligent man. His intelligence is reflected in the way he talks, and addresses problems. He reasons out very well with problems, considers all the aspects of a problem and then very wisely takes any decision after looking at all the sides and dimensions.
Leadership Skills: It is not quite easy to lead a country as big as the United States of America with such fineness. Definitely he needs to be applauded for the kind of leadership skills he possesses. He certainly has a very competent team, which he has chosen with great care. All his team members are very efficient and able.
Oration Skills: He is very good orator. Needless to say one of the most important qualities of a good leader. He has just the right things to say at the right places. He can very well dodge a question which he doesn’t feel like answering, with ease. He is a champion when it comes to speaking in public.
Connection with masses: A person can be a great orator but if he fails to reach to the masses by whatever he says, he’s a failure as a leader. Obama has excellent qualities which connects him to the masses. He is people’s favorite and this is proved by the fact that he is elected second time in continuation. In fact he could even connect with Indian Masses, by including a famous dialogue from DDLJ.
Decision Making: He is an excellent decision maker. Again, he successfully handles a big country and not only handles a country but manages a super power. He is good decision maker, whenever it comes to taking a big decision. Right from his foreign policies, to choosing the right allies and the fight against terrorism, He seems to take the correct decisions all the time.
Persistence: He has almost the whole Republican Party against him, still he manages to continue successfully with his own decisions. He doesn’t seem to care about whether anybody is trying to stop him. If he knows he is right, he continues and never gives up.
Enthusiasm: He is an enthusiastic person, and carries a charisma with him. Nobody has seen him dull any time. He fills the atmosphere with energy and liveliness when he’s around.
Confidence: He is a confident person and believes in his abilities. He trusts himself and thinks that whatever he has set out he’ll be able to achieve it. Of course he works hard in the direction of achieving those things.
Vision: He has a future vision and the vision is a possible vision. He comes with an achievable future goals and also makes sure that he can convince the public to see the vision he has. He has immense thinking capabilities and can really decide and think of long term plans.
Presentation Skills: He not only knows the correct ways to devise plans, but can also convey those plans to all types of groups.

Greetings to all gallant warriors, today we will shed some light upon the various important days and their significance in the Indian defense establishment. The Indian defense forces have given us a boatload of reasons to be proud of them. Also, from the point of view of the personal interview one must be thoroughly apprised about the important moments of our past. So here we go.
Important Days In The Indian Defense Establishment
Indian Army Day :- This day is celebrated on 15th of January every year. On this day in 1949, Field Marshall Kodandera Madappa Cariappa took over as the first commander in chief of the Indian Army from General Francis Butcher, who was the last British General of the Indian Army. This day is very prodigiously celebrated every year to mark the supreme sacrifices of our gallant soldiers. On this day the whole defense fraternity gathers at India gate to pay their obeisance to the soldiers who gave their life for the country. The motto of the Indian Army is “Service Before Self”.
Indian Airforce Day :- Indian Airforce Day is observed every year on 8th October. On this very day in 1932, the Indian Airforce was officially established by the British Raj. Its first flight took place on 01 April 1933. At that time it possessed 6 Officers of the Royal Airforce (RAF) and 16 sepoys. Since then the Indian Airforce has never looked back. It has served unstintingly throughout the years and always brought glory to the nation. The motto of the Indian Airforce is “Touch The Sky With Glory”
Indian Navy Day :- Indian Navy Day is celebrated every year on 4th December. On this day in 1971 (During Indo-Pak War) the Indian Navy launched a tormenting attack at the Pakistani naval base at Karachi. This attack is famously known as operation Trident. Indian navy sank a minesweeper, a destroyer and an ammunition supply ship of the enemy thereby totally crippling the enemy’s naval war fighting capabilities. This day was just the start of an exemplary attack of the Indian Navy on the enemy forces. This resulted in a decisive victory for India which liberated East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) from the Pakistani control. This day is very ebulliently celebrated across the country to commemorate the achievements and sacrifices of our naval personnel. The motto of the Indian Navy is “May the Lord of the Oceans be Auspicious unto us” or “Sham NoVarunah”
Indian Coast Guard Day :- The Indian Coast Guard Day is observed on 1st February every year. On this day in 1977, the interim Indian Coast Guard was set up with 2 ships and 5 patrol boats acquired from the Indian Navy. However, the Indian Coast Guard formally came into existence on 18th August 1978, after the Coast Guard Act was passed in the parliament. Indian Coast Guard was set up to act as a law enforcement agency in India’s territorial waters. From its inception, Indian Coast Guard has worked hand in hand with the Indian Navy and has produced exceptional outcomes in difficult situations. The motto of Indian Coast Guard is “We Protect” or “Vayam Rakshamah”.
Armed Forces Flag Day :- The Armed Forces Flag Day is observed on 7th December every year since 1949. The sole purpose of celebrating this day is to procure funds for the welfare of the Armed Forces Personnel by selling flag stickers. This day, the nation commemorates its soldiers, airmen and sailors who laid down their lives to protect their motherland. The funds collected are used for rehabilitation of battle casualties, welfare of serving personnel and their families and resettlement and welfare of ex servicemen along with their families.
Kargil Vijay Diwas :- This day is celebrated on 26th July every year. On this day in 1999 the Indian Army achieved another milestone by recapturing all the outposts which had been usurped by Pakistani Intruders in the 1999 Indo-Pak war. This day was another example of the unprecedented bravery of the Indian Soldiers who fought relentlessly till their last breath. The 60 day long war resulted in the loss of 527 Indian soldiers. This day the whole country pays their respect to the brave-hearts.
Vijay Diwas :- This day is observed on 16th December every year to reminisce another Indian victory over Pakistan. On this day in 1971, the Pakistani Army chief A.A.K Niazi surrendered along with 93,000 soldiers to the Indian Army and Bangladesh Liberation Army (Mukti Bahini). This was the largest surrender of troops by a nation after the second world war and that too in mere 13 days. Certainly this speaks volumes about the character of which the Indian Army is made of.
This was an amalgamation of various important days which are celebrated across the country to salute and remember the contribution of our armed forces personnel towards our well being. However, there may be many other important days which might have not been included in this list. Those days will be a part of another article in future. Keep visiting ssbcrack for further insights.

As many serving officers and aspirants ask us how can they become a psychologist, GTO or an interview officer at services selection board [SSB]. Here we are publishing a short article on how to become a group testing officer also know as GTO at one of the selection centre. Be advised that first you have to reach a certain rank in your respective forces to apply as a GTO, Psychologist or an Interview officer at SSB. Also, one who is not much aware of this lingo, GTO is group testing officer at SSB whose role is to test the abilities of the candidates while they are working in a group. To know more about it click here.
In the past the policy for selection of officers to undergo assessors’ (GTO/IO/TO) courses had been purely voluntary. Whilst this procedure generated the required number of Group Testing Officers GTOs earlier, the requirement to depute increased numbers, post setting up at SSBs, has resulted in shortage of qualified assessors. Furthermore, vacancies allotted to the Army, Navy and Air Force for the Group Testing Officer GTO course are not being fully subscribed to, enforcing severe limitations on the quantity and quality of our intake. To meet the requirements of Group Testing Officer GTOs at Army, Navy and Air Force SSBs, it has now been decided to modify the selection for Group Testing Officer GTO as follows:
In addition to volunteers, a few Majors, Sqn Leaders and Lt Cdrs will be selected to undergo a four week GTO course at DIPR Delhi.
On successful completion of the course, officers will proceed for 8 weeks practical training at one of the Service Selection Boards.
On qualifying as GTOs, officers will be deputed at one of the many SSB and AFSB like SSBs (Allahabad, Bhopal, Bangalore, Coimbatore and Kolkata) for a tenure of two/three years, as and when vacancies arise.
Tenure at SSBs will be considered at par with instructional appointments at NDA/NAVAC.
Choice of course/appointment as indicated in ACR will be given due weight age.
Hope now you are aware of the process of becoming a GTO, it seems to be tough and full of competition, so be proud if you have performed in front of a GTO, they are there because they are the best for this role. You can share your thoughts in the comment section below.

200+ Photos of 66th Republic Day You Don’t Want To Miss. Republic day is celebrated on 26th January every year, in India to honor the date on which the Constitution of India came into force i.e. 26 January 1950, replacing the Government of India Act (1935) as the governing document of India. The constitution was passed by the Constituent Assembly of India on 26 November 1949 but was adopted on 26 January 1950 with a democratic government system, completing the country’s transition toward becoming an independent republic. 26 January was selected for this purpose because it was this day in 1930 when the Declaration of Indian Independence (Purna Swaraj) was proclaimed by the Indian National Congress. It is one of three national holidays in India, other two being Independence Day and Gandhi Jayanti.
India sees her people celebrating this day with great pomp and show throughout the country. Ceremonies are held in almost all the schools, colleges of India, and a number of cultural programs are kept. The day is celebrated by organizing speeches and programs which emphasize on the reason why this day is celebrated. Also the programs focus on remembering the martyrs and the history of India’s independence. Generally flags are hosted and sweets are distributed amongst the students and employees. A mesmerizing ceremony is held in New Delhi.
The Republic day parade is held in the capital, from the Raisina Hill near the Rashtrapati Bhavan (the President’s residence), along the Rajpath, past India Gate. Prior to its commencement, the Prime Minister lays a floral wreath at the Amar Jawan Jyoti, a memorial to martyred soldiers at the India Gate at one end of Rajpath, which is followed by two minutes silence in the memory of them. It is a solemn reminder of the sacrifice of the martyrs who died for the country in the freedom movement and the succeeding wars for the defence of sovereignty of their country. Thereafter he/she reaches the main dais at Rajpath to join other dignitaries, subsequently the President arrives along with the chief guest of the occasion. They are escorted on horseback by the President’s Bodyguard. This is followed by cultural events. The chief guest this year is USA’s President. The Beating Retreat ceremony officially denotes the end of Republic Day festivities. It is conducted on the evening of 29 January, the third day after the Republic Day. It is performed by the bands of the three wings of the military, the Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air Force. The venue is Raisina Hills and an adjacent square, Vijay Chowk, flanked by the North and South block of the Rashtrapati Bhavan (President’s Palace) towards the end of Rajpath.

PM Modi on US-China Agreement and pressures on India: The agreement concluded by US and China doesn’t put pressure on us. India is an independent country. There is no pressure from any other country. But climate change, global warming in themselves are huge pressure points. Anyone who is concerned about future generations must feel responsible and this pressure should be on every country, government and individual.
PM Modi on his friendship with President Obama, and what they spoke about today: I’m fairly new in this area but relations between countries depends less on full stops and commas and more on the chemistry between them. Barack and I have forged a friendship. There is openness when we talk. This chemistry has brought Barak closer to me but also brought the people of India and America closer. As far as what we spoke about, usey parde main rehne dein. (let that be under wraps.)
President Obama on common values and PM Modi: Part of the reason we are natural partners is because we share values… Prime Minister Modi caused great excitement in the US when he visited last year…. Compared to how much sleep each of us is getting. Turns out Prime Minister Modi is getting even less sleep than me. That is perhaps because he is new. After you have done it for 6 years, you can get an extra hour.
