11 Things Common To Every Fauji

February 9, 2015

Military personnel, often affectionately termed ‘Faujis,’ exhibit a set of characteristics that distinctively set them apart from civilians. These traits, borne out of the unique demands and culture of military life, are not just habits but are emblematic of the discipline, camaraderie, and ethos of the armed forces.

Here, we explore 11 traits that are predominantly found among military personnel, capturing the essence of what it means to live and breathe the military ethos.

1. Iconic Aviators: Aviator sunglasses have transcended their functional role to become a symbolic accessory among military personnel. The trend has become so prevalent that aspirants often dream of acquiring a pair as a rite of passage into the military. These sunglasses have effectively become a hallmark of military style.

2. The Crew Cut: Beyond its practicality, the crew cut has become synonymous with military grooming, reflecting discipline and readiness. This hairstyle, coupled with aviator sunglasses, often serves as a subtle identifier of military personnel, particularly among the younger officers.

3. Unique Lexicon: Military communication is peppered with a distinct vocabulary that includes phonetic alphabets (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie…) and specialized terms. This language not only facilitates clear communication in operations but also fosters a sense of belonging and identity among personnel.

4. Exclusive Slang: Military personnel have their own set of euphemisms and slang, distinct from civilian vernacular. Even their choice of expletives tends to be unique, with terms like ‘bloody’ being among the milder ones shared in more public settings.

5. Distinct Compliments: The way military personnel express admiration or approval often diverges from civilian expressions. Descriptive terms like ‘demo-type’ for attractiveness or ‘josh-type’ for high-spirited performance reflect the distinctiveness of their communicative style.

6. Unique Punishments: The military’s approach to discipline involves unique forms of punishments, known only within their circles. Terms like ragda and maharaja carry specific meanings and stories that are deeply embedded in military culture.

7. Fondness for Goa: Goa has emerged as a favored destination among young military personnel, often visited after completing rigorous training courses. This preference underscores their need for relaxation and camaraderie off-duty.

8. Robust Liquor Tolerance: A notable trait among military personnel is their considerable capacity for alcohol, often without showing signs of inebriation. This resilience is seen as a testament to their endurance and discipline.

9. Enfield/Harley Affinity: The Royal Enfield and, increasingly, Harley Davidson motorcycles are cherished among military personnel, symbolizing freedom and adventure. These bikes, often adorned with military insignia, reflect the pride and spirit of the forces.

10. Adventurous Road Trips: The military lifestyle inherently involves travel, offering personnel the opportunity to explore offbeat locations. Their love for road trips on motorcycles or cars is a testament to their adventurous spirit and love for the country’s diverse landscapes.

11. Respect for the Commanding Officer: The Commanding Officer (CO) holds a position of utmost respect and, sometimes, fear among military personnel. The CO’s presence is a powerful motivator, exemplifying the structured hierarchy and discipline that is central to military life.

For those interested in delving deeper into the military mindset or preparing for a career in the armed forces, a series of eBooks on various assessment tests offer valuable insights and preparation tools.

These traits and habits not only define the daily life of military personnel but also reflect the values and traditions of the armed forces. They contribute to the unique identity of the ‘Fauji,’ a term that encompasses much more than just a job—it signifies a way of life.

Controlling the SSB interview, The Way You Want

Tashi Mishra

February 9, 2015

Personal Interview, the shortest but the most important test in SSB. For other tests you need to spend hours, both in preparation and in giving them. There are varieties of tests for which you need to prepare for other battery of tests, but for interview there is only one test. Interviews are simple yet tricky. If you can take the flow of the interview in your control, then you can very well turn the tides in your favor. Let us see how you can turn the flow of the interview in your direction:

Controlling the SSB interview, The Way You Want

Write the truth and nothing but the truth: PIQ form plays a vital role in your interview and the direction in which it’ll go. In the PIQ you should write the truth only, because there will be a lot of questions which will be asked from your PIQ form, if you are writing things which are not true or which you are not so sure about then you’ll not be able to answer the questions based on them. And if you are not able to answer the questions, and get stuck, you’ll lose the flow.
For every short question, give a comprehensive answer: That is a major tactic to control the time in the interview. If they ask you a short question like “Tell me something about yourself”, then you should narrate your PIQ form from first column to the last, tell about your family, the place you come from, your academic background, sports, extra-curricular, achievements etc. Similarly if they ask you ‘what place you are coming from’, then you should describe things about the place you come from.
List your achievements: For sure you’ll be asked about your achievements in your life, or your happiest moment, and sometimes your most depressing moment. You must be in position to describe those things, what led to those moments etc. Make a list of your achievements in chronological order and mug it up.
Read around: Be prepared with at least two current affairs topic thoroughly. By thoroughly I mean totally, you must know in and out of those topics. So that if any question is asked related to current affairs and you are not aware of it, then you can say ‘sorry sir I have not read about it much but I know a lot about (the topic you have prepared for)’. Hence you can again stretch the time in your direction. The more you know about the topic the more you can speak.
Rate of speech: The slower you speak, more time you get to think and present. It is always advisable to speak in a slow rate, so that you can spend more time on a single topic. Also if you speak fast you tend to get nervous and there are chances that the person sitting in front of you is not able to understand. Fumbling is very common for those who speak fast. Complete every word, speak properly and calmly, it’ll show confidence.

Preparing for CDSE 1 2015

Tashi Mishra

February 9, 2015

2015 has started and CDSE is knocking the door. The date of exam is 15th February 2015, and with almost few days in hand you can prepare well for it. Scoring good in the written exam of CDSE is majorly important because there are cases of merit outs, and you need to have a good score to avoid that scenario. So your focus should not be merely passing the exam, but scoring good, for future. Depending on the academy you have applied for, you need to study for either two or three papers. Let us see how you can prepare for this exam.

Preparing for CDSE 1 2015

Basic should be the basics: Start with the basics, you need to be clear about the theories in science and social studies to be able to answer the twisted questions in the general awareness paper. The questions asked are generally from the basics. So revise it, mug it up or do whatever it takes, but clear up the basics first.
History, not so much of a mystery: In history nothing can be changed, because the events that have happened will remain the same. Still it has got a huge portion and you need to study it every day atleast. The questions asked in history are generally from the portions asked in previous years, so read the previous year’s questions of history first.
Score high with mathematics: The mathematics is simple 10th level and gives you a great chance to score, especially if you are not that strong in English. Practice mathematics everyday. As doing it overnight is not going to help. Look for shortcuts to solve the questions and be really fast and accurate with your calculations, and these things will come only with practice.
Material: You need to have a good study material to prepare for SSB. Go for a good book, which has it all, or refer to our online material. Or go for both, but make sure you have good study material which is helping you. Also collect the sample papers and solved papers of previous years and study from them.
Current Affairs: Be prepared with all the major awards, titles in sports and recent military or missile news. Go for a good year book, as reading the newspaper only now is not going to help. So read good year book, you’ll get enough things to study and you’ll be surprised on the number of questions you get. In current affairs there are direct questions, again a chance to score.
English: Some aspirants might be weak in English, but you can considerably improve it. There are good books available for competitions in the market which will definitely help you.

Types of Interviewing Officers at SSB

Tashi Mishra

February 9, 2015

The veteran aspirants of SSB will agree with me that they have faced different types of Interviewing Officers in different interviews. By different I mean the way with which they deal you, the way with which they present themselves and the way with they carry out the interview is totally different. Some may disagree with the types I am going to list down, yet I have tried my sbest to list the most common types. Also if you have met any other type of Interviewing Officer in you Service Selection Board Interview, please post in the comment box below.

Types of Interviewing Officers at SSB

The friendly Guy: This is the most common type of interviewing officer people get. Generally for freshers the Interviewing officer tends to take up this role. Even for repeaters once in a while you may get such an Interviewing Officer. This guy will be very friendly with you, talk to you nicely and smile throughout. You’ll never understand that he’s extracting the deepest secret out of you, through his tactics. He’ll be very sweet with you and you’ll become very easy with him, thus being friendly with him. How to deal with him: Maintain the distance; don’t get too friendly and overwhelmed. Speak only that much which you planned. They are taught to smile, so don’t get trapped by the smile.
The ‘you know nothing’ sir: The Interviewing Officers of this type will discourage you and push you down. They’ll ask you questions and never accept the answers. They’ll say that you have not prepared well, and you just came in the SSB for the sake of coming. No matter how hard you try, he’ll never be satisfied with your answers. You’ll feel so worthless at one point of time. How to deal with him: You already know that he is doing it on purpose, just give your answer and be cool.
Question Tree: This guy will have hundreds of questions for you. He’ll never let you complete an answer, as he’ll be interrupting you in between every answer. He’ll ask you comprehensive questions, with 10-15 questions in a go, and as you start answering he’ll interrupt you. This will make you forget the questions and thus leave you irritated. At a point you’ll feel very much irritated and bugged. How to deal with him: You can simply keep on answering his questions, don’t lose your calm. If you forget the questions, just answer the one’s you remember, but never look worried. Be cool.
‘Whatever you speak, doesn’t interest me’ officer: You keep on speaking and answering his questions but he’ll put his head down, or close his eyes. Some even make and expression of disgust, making you think that they don’t want to hear you. They might even keep looking at the clock. An officer made such a face once which made me think he is just hating every word I speak. It is very difficult to talk to somebody who is looking dis interested in what you saying, and this is his tactic to diverge your attention. How to deal with him: Again now you know he is doing it on purpose, so keep on giving you answer, and keep on looking at him.
Keep on going: This officer will never interrupt you, even if you finish your answer he’ll not say anything, just keep looking at you. You’ll get bored of speaking, because this guy will allow you to speak endlessly. In fact once you finish your answer you’ll have to tell him that, that’s it sir. How to deal with him: This guys is most easy to deal with. Just keep going on!

Please post any other type that you may have encountered!

Computerized Pilot Selection System [CPSS] Test by Indian Air Force

SSBCrack

February 8, 2015

Computerized Pilot Selection System Test also known as CPSS test will be replacing the well known PABT test to select the best candidates for Indian air force flying branch. Computerized Pilot Selection System (CPSS) will replace the old PABT test and instruments that was in use for decades. Though there is no clear confirmation till now as to when CPSS test will replace the PABT test completely. Lets talk more about the CPSS test for Indian air force flying branch and what Computerized Pilot Selection System (CPSS) consist of.

What is CPSS Test Computerized Pilot Selection System

To select the rock solid pilots to fly the advanced aircraft of Indian air force like Su-30, Tejas etc, the Indian Air Force (IAF) inaugurated the Computerized Pilot Selection System (CPSS) at the No. 2 Air Force Selection Board Mysore. It will replace the pilot aptitude battery test that was in use for decades.
CPSS test is the brainchild of APJ Abdul Kalam, he advised for CPSS when he was scientific adviser of the prime minister in 1997. Mr. Kalam suggested to develop an intelligent tool for pilot aptitude test in consonance with the advanced IAF aircrafts.
It also aims at addressing the alarming rate of flying accidents attributed to pilot error in IAF.
After dedicating the new system to the nation, Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha said CPSS would be introduced in the other IAF selection boards at Dehradun and Varanasi soon.

Who developed CPSS Test

It has been jointly developed by the Defence Institute of Psychological Research and the Air Defence Establishment – premier organisations of the Defence Research and Development Organization.

Why do we need CPSS Test

The IAF chief said, “Only the best of the best can fully utilize the potential of the ultra-modern technology being inducted into IAF to establish it as a power to reckon with in South East Asia.
Fifth generation fighter planes would place tremendous physical and mental workload on pilots and system operators and only the best will be allowed to occupy these cockpits. CPSS, is a concrete step in the right direction towards meeting these objectives.
CPSS was intended to address the IAF’s long-standing demand for a scientific selection system on par with advanced nations, which can screen pilot aspirants to meet the demands of the latest aircraft.

Only one chance in CPSS Test
Like PABT test, candidate will get only one chance to clear the CPSS test, if failed, would never be eligible for flying in the armed forces, be it Air force, army, navy or coast guard. Aspirants will get only one chance to take the test under the Computerized Pilot Selection System. CPSS places special emphasis on psychomotor skills and cognitive abilities of aspirants. It ensures objectivity in results. The system will be used to screen pilots for IAF, Army, Navy and the Coast Guard.

It has 2 parts.
1. 1st there will be a MCQ test. They will first give you instructions how to read 6 kind of dials present in an aircraft, based on that there will be a number of MCQ tests which include dial reading questions along with IQ, pattern matching, basic maths, tests (around 15 small quizzes in total). It is fairly simple and anyone with basic school level physics knowledge will clear it.

2. After the 1st test you will be made to sit in a CPSS machine which is like a cockpit with a joystick, pedals and a lever (like in an aircraft) with a screen in front of you. You will be made to play a number of games similar to a video game with joystick and you have to get a certain score in all games combined to clear this test. Anyone who drives or has played videogames can clear this one easily. You just need hand leg coordination. You get 3 chances in each game and your best score is taken out of the 3, so if you mess up in the 1st attempt you can make up for it in the other 2 attempts

The CPSS test is simple. Elaborate instructions are given before commencement of both these test so there will be no confusion. So dont worry, you should focus more on the SSB part as that is the main challenge.
