Does Being Google Helps In SSB?

ssb interview tips

Does Being Google Helps In SSB? If you have been to SSB once, you must have encountered at least one person in you batch, who knows everything about everything. Believe me when you look at that person, you are awestruck. Everybody in your batch goes to that person in case they need any information about anything. That person is the official walking and talking encyclopedia and his/her knowledge ranges from current affairs to geography, from Armed Forces to sports and what not. So he/she is respectfully looked up to in case somebody has their interview the next day. That person is the point of attraction and is often referred to by all the candidates. You might get intimidated by their mere presence in the group discussion and look forward to their lecturette. And more than yourself, you are sure that that person will get recommended. Trust me, been there seen that, and seen those people not getting recommended too.ssb interview tips

Does knowing a lot about general awareness and the Armed Forces help?

Yes it helps. Though that is not the only thing they need. The question of knowing about the current affairs and other stuff comes basically in the interview. As in the interview they ask you about the latest happenings. Suppose if you have a lot of free time at home, then obviously you are supposed to follow through the current happenings, although if you have a 9 to 9 job, then it is a wonder in itself that you tried for SSB, so nobody will expect much then. Wondering how they’ll get to know whether or not you have free time? Simple, they’ll ask your routine in the interview. However, if you know a bit about the current events and other stuff, it’ll definitely help you in GD and lecturette.  But as you know that they are looking for officers not Google, so being an encyclopedia alone, won’t land you a job.

How much Armed Forces knowledge helps?

If your immediate kith (parents, siblings) are in the forces then you are expected to know to a certain level of things. Because if have been living in that atmosphere, it shouldn’t be a big thing to know stuff about the service your parent is, or your sibling is. In fact if you don’t know the basic things also then it goes on to show that you are ignorant towards your surroundings. Also if you are going for technical entry, then you should be aware of the latest technological developments in your zone in the forces. So summing it all up, you should know a basic level like the commands, ranks etc. it shows that you are serious about your preparation.

Conclusion

There is no harm in preparing yourself for something which you have always aspired for. But if you are thinking that knowing stuff will get you recommended, you are wrong. I have seen people knowing a lot getting not recommended and people knowing nothing getting recommended. You obviously know that they select on the basis of right fit, and that involves a lot of OLQ’s. However do read up stuff, for that extra edge!

Lt Navdeep Singh

On the fateful night of 19th August 2011, Lt Navdeep Singh and his Commando Platoon were deployed in the Kanzalwan Sub Sector in response to intelligence inputs about a desperate bid by a large group of highly trained terrorists, fully equipped and armed to the teeth with deadly weapons.

Leading from the front and demonstrating the highest standards of tactical acumen, field craft and fire control, this brave heart quickly sited his ambush, correctly appreciating the path that the terrorists would adopt. In a display of sheer unbridled courage coupled with steely grit, Lt Navdeep Singh allowed the unsuspecting terrorists to walk into his trap.

Springing his ambush at the last moment, Navdeep singlehandedly engaged and eliminated three hardcore terrorists from close range. Despite being hit and severely injured in the violent return fire, Lt Navdeep Singh continued to control the encounter, marshalling his resources with cool presence of mind. Living upto the highest military ideals, despite being grievously injured, he saved the life of his buddy while gunning down a fourth terrorist, before eventually succumbing to his injuries.

His gallant action resulted in his team eliminating twelve hardcore terrorists in one of the fiercest encounters on the Line of Control, dealing a crippling body blow to the terrorist groups.

Navdeep’s mother, Mrs Jagtinder Kaur, the fountainhead of pride, courage and strong sense of values that run through the family and fully epitomized by her favourite son, will solemnly accept this ultimate Honour, with a silent prayer on her lips.

Lieutenant Navdeep’s younger brother, Sandeep, an aspiring Engineer and his doting sister, Navjot Kaur, both unabashedly proud of his achievements, stand tall with a firm resolve clearly reflecting the ‘go getter’ spirit all pervasive in the family. Lt Navdeep Singh has set the most profound example for the youth of the Nation to follow.

Light-Combat-Helicopter-LCH-The-King-of-Battle

Light Combat Helicopter (LCH), a name resembling with Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), is indigenously made helicopter by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. LCH is a derivative of HAL Dhruv, which was introduced in Indian armed forces.

Recently LCH was seen in Jodhpur, having trail flight (especially as hot weather flight trails at 39-42 degree Celsius). According to HAL, the tests were successfully concluded and HAL is expecting to get initial operational clearance (IOC) soon and the production will start from the end of this year. The test aimed at performance assessment along with hydraulic, on board system and handling tests. The helicopter has passed cold weather trails this year which was done in leh at minus 18 degree Celsius at about 4 km altitude and at varying speed. It is designed for two pilot crew and for anti-infantry and anti-armor purpose at high altitude. Some sources claimed it having digital camouflage system.Light-Combat-Helicopter-LCH-The-King-of-Battle

LCH, developed by HAL for Indian Airforce and Indian Army (Army aviation corps). An order of 114 and 65 LCH has been placed by Indian Army and Indian Air force. A similar project of Light Combat Aircraft, Tejas, which is also indigenously made by India for multirole purpose. Well, Light Combat feature makes both of them a must use machine. Currently the Cheetahs and the Chetaks are sub-three-tonne and single-engine unarmed utility helicopters. These are to be replaced by some more multipurpose and efficient helicopters.

What Led to its Requirement?

During kargil war in 1999, India felt the requirement of attack helicopters, especially for operations in high altitudes. This requirement led India to the development of a helicopter with diverse functions which will fulfill Army and Air force’s needs. According to the sources, Light Combat Helicopter is designed against slow moving Arial targets (like UAVs).

What’s Special about LCH?

Light combat helicopter has been given some special feature that make it an all-rounder in battle field and the king of battle.

  • Twin engine (Shakti engine)
  • Made for combat role, Air Defense, Anti-Tank, combat search and in rescue operations.
  • Fuel efficient, which makes it a top priority for forces.
  • Seating of pilot and co-pilot and weapon operator.
  • Stealth features like armor protection, reduced visual, radar and infrared signatures and crash proof landing gears.

The unique features of LCH are sleek and narrow fuselage, crashworthy and self-sealing fuel tanks, tri-cycle crashworthy landing gear, armor protection and low visibility features which make the LCH more lethal and deadly.

The race for indigenous production is speeding up and is positively making India self-dependent. With these development armed forces are also being benefited in two ways. First, phasing out of old weapons and warheads and second, empowering the new with more compatibility and efficiency. India’s hunt for multirole beasts is a good initiative and will really help India to become a military superpower. Requirements never ends but, improvements and enhancements are always required for nation’s security and defense. Well, India is going on a right path and heading to a bright future.
