An Officer’s Perspective, Misconceptions Regarding The Indian Air Force

Misconceptions Regarding The Indian Air Force

As civilians, we have a different perspective of the services and how things are done there. However, the people working there have an entirely different and real perspective regarding the same. The reason being very simple, they are working there and seeing and facing the things every day. We are lucky to have a Technical Officer from the Indian Air Force, clearing out some myths that candidates have regarding their service in the IAF. We are thankful to the person for sharing the experience. We hope that it’ll be valuable for the aspirants and help them in clearing out some basic doubts. You can post your queries in the comment box below.

 

Misconceptions Regarding The Indian Air Force

  1. Short Service Commission officers do not get into Fighter Streams. No, A cadet can get Misconceptions Regarding The Indian Air Forceinto any of these streams (fighter, transport, helicopters), depending on their performance in their flying training at Air Force Academy, during Stage-1.
  2. Cannot change your order of priority of branches, once filled the Application Form of AFCAT. No, can always write to Air Force Headquarters requesting a change. But it has to be done well before the merit list is prepared. So it is advisable to clarify that soon after getting recommended at AFSB with any officer available at your AFSB or at AF Hospital.
  3. No need to study much after joining forces. Unfortunately this is not the case in defence, at least not in Air Force. Irrespective of your branches, there is always a need to update yourself with the “know-how” of the system through classes. The training as such includes a rigorous evaluation through exercises and viva. So be mentally prepared to study in addition to the daily physical routine.
  4. Technical Officers can never go airborne. No. Any technical officer who is responsible for the maintenance of an aircraft is also eligible and responsible to check/inspect the snags that occur in the air. To do this, he/she has to accompany the pilot or aircrew at times. There is also a special crew of technical officers called Flight Engineers/ Flight Test Engineers whose role is to go airborne and check the systems of the aircraft.
  5. In case, a flying branch cadet under training (especially AFCAT-SSC) gets grounded under medical terms, he/she would be offered any other branch in the organization. No, there is no option of re-branching available for SSC cadets who get grounded under medical terms.
  6. IITians and NITians are generally overqualified for the defence services and do not get recommended. No, interestingly a significant number of pilots and technical officers are alumni of IIT’s and NIT’s.
  7. Technical Officers are involved in designing/manufacturing of the aircrafts. No, not exactly. Tech Officers are mainly trained for the maintenance of the aircraft fleet for operational readiness and repair them in case of any damage or snag.

An open letter to all the Faujis in India

An-open-letter-to-all-the-Faujis-in-India

An open letter to all the Faujis in India: Open letters have become a cliché these days, written mostly at the times when somebody wants to criticize someone. Conversely this letter is not to nitpick, condemn or complain, likewise this is not to applaud or glorify anyone too, for the reason being that, I believe glory comes with the work and not by a letter, and the work being done and which has been done till now is admirable in all ways. You have been an integral part in maintaining the sovereignty and freedom of the democratic republic of India. We have grown up watching the news which told us every day about the ceasefire being violated, and you being there. A number of articles in the newspaper which sang the songs of bravery of you people have made our eyes moist so many times. We know you, we appreciate you, but if you think we understand what you go through every day, you are wrong.

For us, civilians, emotions come through media and days. Earlier it was the news channels, the An-open-letter-to-all-the-Faujis-in-Indianewspapers and now it is the social media. Earlier we used to hear “Ae mere vatan ke logon” on Independence Day and republic day and used to cry, and now we watch videos, related to you and your family on the internet after you fight a battle or attain martyrdom and feel bad. No we can never understand what you go through. How can we? There is no simulator to make us understand how it feels to be, in the chilly snow in Siachen, in the vicious jungles of North-East, in the difficult waters of Indian Ocean or in the arduous summers of the desert, we can’t feel how it feels to maneuver a jet at an elevated strenuous terrain. On top of this no simulator can make us understand how it feels to be away from your family, to not see the first steps of your child, to not be able to talk to your partner every day, to not be able to be with your ailing mother or your aged father. We can never imagine the intensity of the training you go through in the academies, which make you audacious enough to not even fear death. The difficulty of the lives you live is unthinkable. It is beyond belief that at times you don’t sleep for days, you don’t get the basic amenities too, yet you serve. It is like you love playing with danger.

At the time of any crisis you are unstoppable and omnipresent. It’s commendable how you can be perfect in all the things, from ballroom to bunkers. But you have to admit that the times are changing. We can feel closer to you now, thanks to the internet and the viral videos. We at least feel what you have to go through. We have been watching every day, how heroic your deeds are. I remember when I was a kid and there was a war going on in 1999, I was too small to understand what a war means. At that time I saw a news related to your gallant endeavors which left an impact on my mind and till date the impact is resilient. Maybe we cannot understand what you go through but we have incalculable respect for you. You have been a role model of valor. Inspiring millions to join your fleet. We respect you, we adore you, we appreciate your selfless acts. I believe this letter comes from all of us, the people of India, who are thankful to the valiant brothers, sisters, daughters, sons and friends guarding our country.

There is nothing much we can do or say, just a little Thank You. “To have really lived, you must have almost died. To those who have fought for it, freedom has a flavor the protected will never know.” — Scrawled on a bunker outside Khe Sahn, RVN

How To Perform Well In GTO Section Of SSB

gto task

How To Perform Well In GTO Section Of SSB : SSB is divided into three sub rounds where each and every aspirant is judged individually and separately by different assessors so that a perfect selection can be made without any biases. The officers for the Indian defence forces are selected based on these SSB who are always ready to serve our motherland. SSB has psychology, Interview and ground task under the name of GTO. In this article, we will be discussing some precautions that the aspirants should take on the ground which can fetch better results. GTO has internal and external rounds. Some rounds will be conducted inside a shed or at some place where there is no physical strength is required while other qualities are checked. Few other rounds have individual performance while few have group testing and performance. Follow the below mentioned points:

How To Perform Well In GTO Section Of SSB

  • Instructions given by GTO officer are really very important, so pay special emphasis while the gto taskbriefing for the rounds is given. Normally repeaters think that they know everything and they might miss something important. Every time one should go with a fresh perspective as you never know that GTO might twist certain things for testing individual personality.
  • GTO will be taking a personal interview while walking and before he calls you and meets you individually for command task. You should deliver your best in this interview as many of the things will be verified at this point of time. No flaw should be there.
  • As everyone knows that first impression should be the best one and that’s a chance given to each aspirant during the GD that GTO conducts so perform your best there so that GTO always has an eye on you every time you are doing something.
  • Try developing some physical stamina before your SSB that can help you enhance your performance in the ground. Don’t wait for the last 15 days and then start exercising, these things need time for improvement so better start early.
  • Whatever be the round conducted under GTO whether its internal GTO or external GTO all are psychologically judged to look for OLQ’s so introspect yourself before properly to get a perfect match in your personality and whatever you do in the ground.
  • Everyone is interested in your qualities and not whether how physically strong you are. I have seen certain candidates giving more weightage to stamina, body building for GTO which are actually not needed. No doubt if they are good, but they should not be the priority.

Description of individual rounds will be given in my next articles so that aspirants can prepare well for each of the rounds. Still If you have any confusion or feel to take individual assessment of personality for olq’s or prepare from your place itself through one to one interaction through my mentoring / counselling program drop me a mail at [email protected] or add me on Fb and drop in a message. Start working for your goal as early as possible because the early you achieve your dream, the more time you would be able to serve your motherland. Stay away from myths and keep working hard to achieve stars, wings or rings.

Top Mantras To Clear SSB Interview

ssb success mantra

Top Mantras To Clear SSB Interview: With the upcoming SSB of Air force, CDS, women entry and many more shortlists released now I can clearly see a wave of joy in the aspirants. Many have been waiting for this moment only to realise their dream into reality. Dear future warrior, now it’s time to start the preparation and start working in the right direction. There had been queries that whether books can help me? Which one is the best one or there were some people asking what to do now and what not to do? Some wanted to go for introspection and some wanted to know the right way for preparation. In today’s article, I thought of discussing the same as to what can actually help and what not.

Before that it’s really important to understand the SSB exam that you all are preparing for. It’s all about personality and psychology so one has to prepare in that mode only. Understanding one’s personality is most important as the assessors are looking for trainable personality, believe me they don’t look for perfection but just the presence of certain qualities which can ensure that you finally become a successful officer. The following if done diligently can help in achieving success:

Top Mantras To Clear SSB Interview

  1. Time management: This needs to be learnt by everyone as one who respects time can do and ssb success mantraachieve everything in life. Learn to make schedules and follow them diligently.
  2. How to do Self-introspection: this is the key to success at SSB. In this method of preparation, we study life events of individual through which qualities are extracted and then the same is processed to form the personality profile which should be reflected in all the rounds of SSB. There should be perfect interference in what you are and what you reveal. While preparing one should ensure that if they are seeking the guidance they should look for individual guidance not in large groups as every personality is different and altogether there might be a loss in personality. There are tools for introspection that I have designed and use them in personal assessment program which can facilitate in a proper study and revealing the results.
  3. How to prepare for Psychology: This needs to be developed because even if you are in the field or speaking in front of the interviewer or writing things at SSB, every assessor is judging things psychologically. So once introspection is done then things should be reflected in the similar manner for proper recommendations by all the assessors. These things should not be read or practiced with the ready-made material. If some aspirant in doing this he or she is causing maximum harm to himself. Try not to do this and practice properly after knowing yourself in the best way.

SSB is all about revisiting your life in a proper channelled way and if this exercise is done properly it’s really easy to clear SSB as its one of the easiest exam to clear. Still If you have any confusion or feel to take individual assessment of personality for OLQ’s or prepare from your place itself through one to one interaction through my mentoring / counselling program drop me a mail at [email protected] or add me on Fb and drop in a message. Aspirants start walking on the wrong way because of hearing the myths that are present in their surroundings. In my next article, I would try to cover them also so that nothing can deflect you from your goal. Keep up the spirit on the right track. Keep reading for more information.

what to prepare for ssb interview

What to Prepare for Interview at SSB : SSB is altogether a different experience for the aspirants as the participants get a chance to revisit their life and see the close personality of theirs associated with qualities. Each and every round conducted at SSB is designed keeping in mind the qualities, so be assured whether you are running and performing task in ground or you are writing things on pages in psychology round or you are speaking things in interview , everyone is trying to assess your quality in different means. In all, a congruent personality should be reflected through all processes else you would not be recommended. The majority of candidates are thrown out because there is a conflict in one’s personality. Aspirants write to me with different myths in mind that I spoke well in GD or my story was good or say my interview was for about an hour still I am not selected. Believe me not to consider such things at SSB as it’s a scientific process of selection and befooling at that place is near to impossible.

Interview at SSB can be categorised into three parts more or less:

  1. Behaviour/Personality Assessment: These questions categories are based on thewhat to prepare for ssb interview personality of the candidate and are linked to the personal life of the aspirant. I will involve all categories of questions to know you in and out. Answers are seemed in full confidence as you are the best one to know yourself. Aspirants should not be hesitant in sharing personal life else the things might go out of favour for the aspirants. The details of this category would be covered in a separate article. This section can be well prepared beforehand.
  2. Technical Assessment: Technology is the trend of life and how can our officers be far from it. So keep yourself updated. This might depend on the entry you are applying for so prepare accordingly else you might lose the battle. Revise your education/ work you are performing in the recent past.
  3. General Assessment: An officer should know the latest happenings in and around him or her, so keep you self-updated with it. Things can be checked anytime and anywhere.

Interviews are very important in selection and getting the recommendation as they are taken by the senior most officers of the board. Any wrong move can be dangerous. Things here don’t have fixed answers but they need to be moulded as per your personality and this is an art you need to learn. “Even vague things if presented properly sound good ~~ Jayendra Pratap Singh” So you have to be alert and learn the art of driving the interview because believe me it’s only in your end as to how to drive the interview and take the interviewer to the well aware areas of your life. Still If you have any confusion or feel to take individual assessment of personality for olq’s or prepare from your place itself through one to one interaction through my mentoring / counselling program or want to learn the art of driving the interview, just drop me a mail at [email protected] or add me on Fb and drop in a message. Your personality should be presented in synch with what you actually are and then only recommendations come to your way. Learn the art and paint your victory!!!
