Parajumping is a very popular sport among adventure enthusiasts. As popular it is, so rare it is to get a chance to finally do parajumping. And if you are talking about the army, only the best of the best gets a chance to do parajumping. It is compulsory for all the commandos of Indian tri-services.
Parajumping has two popular modes of operation in any military: HAHO and HALO.
HAHO (High Altitude, High Opening):
High Altitude, High Opening jump requires a soldier to jump from heights greater than 12,000-15,000 feet. This technique is also employed where the secrecy of the operation may be compromised by the loud noise of parachute opening at low altitude. The canopy opens within 10-15 seconds of jumping out of the aircraft.
This technique is used to airdrop soldiers when aircrafts are unable to fly above enemy skies without posing a threat to the jumpers. Using HAHO jumps, soldiers can travel up to 50 km under an open canopy, thus entering into the enemy lines safely within 20-30 minutes.

HALO (High Altitude, Low Opening):
In the HALO technique, the parachutist opens his parachute at as low altitude as possible (at about 200-500 meters) quickly to avoid enemy detection. The canopy generally opens after free-falling for a period of time which is generally 2-3 minutes with speeds more than 300 km ph. This technique is also called as Combat Free Fall.

This is performed where the aircrafts can fly over the enemy airspace, escaping the Surface-to-Air missile. HALO jumpers have very high duty altimeters because they have to avoid radar detection and open as low as possible. The jumpers try to stay as close as possible during the jump. This is called ‘tactical jumping’.
HALO jumper in action
HALO and HAHO jumps are done from such high altitude that it is necessary to use an oxygen tank and mask to remain conscious and specialist clothing to prevent freezing.
LALO (Low Altitude, Low Opening):
Apart from HAHO and HALO, there also exists a jumping technique called Low Altitude, Low Opening. It is famously known as “Static Line Jumping”. In this technique, soldiers generally exit the aircraft in ‘sticks’. Each stick has 10-15 jumpers. As soon as jumper jumps out of the aircraft, the canopy opens automatically within 3-4 seconds of the jump.
This is generally undertaken at heights between 1500 – 5000 feet. The jumper is airborne for 1-5 minutes depending on the height from which he is jumping from.
All the paratroopers need to undergo 5 Static-Line jumps to earn the para-wings. Out of these 5 jumps, 3 are day jumps, 2 are night jumps, including 1 jumps with equipment.

Conclusion:
HAHO and HALO jumps techniques are used by soldiers to enter into enemy lines when the aircraft can or cannot fly over enemy airspace without escaping the surface to air enemy missiles. They go to extremes to keep us and our borders safe. We owe to them our freedom.
Defence Minister Niramala Sitharaman ordered the withdrawal of a Ministry letter which downgraded defence officers rank as compared to their civil counterparts in the Army Headquarters.
The letter, dated October 18, 2016 bought the ranks of armed forces officers a notch down as compared to the earlier status of their equivalent in Armed Force Headquarters Civil Service (AFHQ CS).
The Ranks:
First let us see the current ranks which are in consideration according to the latest order and their equivalent civil ranks, according to decreasing order of seniority:
Defence
Maj Gen/Rear Adm/AVM
Brig/Commodore/Air Commodore
Colonel/Capt/Gp Capt
Lt Col/Cdr/Wg Cdr
Major/Lt Cdr/Sqn Ldr
AFHQ CS
Principal Director
Director
Joint Director
Deputy Director
Section Officer
The Issue:
The issue of rank parity is that the defence officers are compared at par with their civilian counterparts in the AFHQ CS with a downgraded view.
In the October 18, 2016 letter, the rank equivalence between civilian officers and serving military officers were made on the basis of their functional responsibilities. Before this letter, military ranks were greater in equivalence to their civil counterparts.
According to the October 18, 2016 letter:
Defence = AFHQ CS
Maj Gen/Rear Adm/AVM = Principal Director
Brig/Commodore/Air Commodore = Director
Colonel/Capt/Gp Capt = Joint Director
Before October 18, 2016 letter was enforced
Defence = AFHQ CS
Maj Gen/Rear Adm/AVM = Joint Secretary
Brig/Commodore/Air Commodore = Deputy Director General
Colonel/Capt/Gp Capt = Director
The ranks of Joint Secretary and Dy DG are higher than the rank of Principal Director. This equated the ranks of defence personnel with higher ranks of AFHQ CS personnel.
The Ego:
The October 18 letter triggered a widespread anguish in the armed forces where their military rank signifies their pride, honour and achievement.
A Brigadier/Commodore/Air Commodore with 25-26 years of service was made equivalent to a Director in AFHQ CS with about 14 years of service, and a Colonel/Captain/Group Captain to a Joint Director.
The forces had lodged a serious protest, questioning the veracity of claims in the report and the documents relied upon.
The army is categorically objecting to the systematic downgrading of Defence Officers in status/equivalence vis a vis civilian officers.
The Solution:
The restructuring of the civilian cadre will be carried out at a later stage as approved by the Union Cabinet.​ For the meanwhile, the previous equivalence was restored.
The Steps Taken:
Ministry of Defence letter dated October 18, 2016 on the issue of equivalence between Armed Forces Officers and Armed Forces Headquarters Civil Services (AFHQ CS) Officers is withdrawn.
The cadre restructuring of AFHQ CS as approved by the Union Cabinet shall be duly implemented. Designations to be created in consequence of the additional posts sanctioned by the Cabinet will be done in consultation with Service HQs.
Local designations assigned both Service and Civilian Officers in Service Headquarters/InterService Organisations (ISOs) is hereby withdrawn. Both Service and Civilian Officers will use their respective cadre designations only.
So far as the Channel of reporting/rendition of Annual Performance Appraisal Report (APAR) is concerned, status quo ante is hereby restored, i.e., the position which existed prior to the issue of MoD letter dated October 18, 2016 shall prevail.
Keeping in mind the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission, all the armed forces personnel who are eligible for various risk and hardship allowance as identified by the Government of India are admissible to the following allowances PER MONTH:

Towards enhancing the digital India initiative, IAF has brought in Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) a Govt of India undertaking under Ministry of Electronics and IT for conducting the first ever online AFCAT and Selection Test for Airmen Recruitment (STAR).
The exam was successfully conducted at approximately 450 centres across the country. However, due to certain technical problems, the exam at a few centres has been postponed. The candidates of these centres are being intimated through individual SMSs. The exam for the candidates of these centres would be conducted at a later date which would be notified shortly.
For an aspirant who is giving AFCAT for the first time, there is something totally new for them – AFCAT is going online. No doubt that it is new even for the aspirants who had given AFCAT earlier, but they have had the chance to know the test better and prepare for the online version accordingly. And for those whose exam stands postponed, they have an upper hand taking the test at a later stage. They now know the procedure and probable questions that could be asked in the test. So, for those few lucky ones, here is the procedure and instructions to take the exam online:
Locate your centre: AFCAT was planned simultaneously at 536 centres in 99 cities covering 25 states and 3 Union Territories in Govt and Private educational institutions as exam centres. Locate your exam centre well before time. Although the time for reporting for the 1st shift was 7 a.m. Our exam started only around 10 a.m. That was a lack of management of the exam centre. Hence, the afternoon shift guys also had their exam late. Some of the exam centres put up a notice saying it was cancelled. But for the guys who are still to write their exams, better be on time as they say. Better safe than sorry.
Type in your roll number and email id for login. DO NOT CLOSE THE BROWSER ANY TIME DURING THE TEST. After, logging in, check your Name, Hall Ticket Number (HTN) and Photograph as being displayed on the screen. In case of any discrepancy or doubts, report the same to invigilator immediately.
NOTE THE SESSION ID AS SOON AS YOU LOG IN. Record it on the rough sheet and on the admit card too, for future reference.
You will be provided with one A4 size sheet for rough work. You must record your Name, Hall Ticket Number (HTN), Set and Session ID on the rough sheet. Please ensure to return the rough sheet to the invigilator before leaving the exam hall.
Calculators, Mobile Phones, Pagers and electronic devices in any form are not allowed to be used in the Exam Hall. If you have any such device or other prohibited material, you must deposit the same even at this stage. Candidates will be disqualified if found indulging in any kind of malpractice.
Affix a recent colour photograph and sign the attendance sheet brought by the invigilators during the exam. You are to record the Session ID thereon. Any unrecorded Session ID corresponding to a candidate will not be considered for evaluation and all responses on that unrecorded Session ID will be treated as null and void.
Select the radio button given below each question corresponding to your choice of answer.
Duration of AFCAT paper is 2hours. You are not allowed to leave the examination hall before the completion of exam duration.
Once the exam has started, you should not open any other software application on the computer system nor should you shut down the computer nor fiddle with allocated hardware or software.
If the browser is closed accidentally or due to any unforeseen circumstance, report to invigilator for help and you must update the new Session ID on the attendance sheet. Do not worry as your previous responses are already recorded on the server and it will be reflected once you have another session ID. In case of any other technical problem, report to Invigilator immediately.
You can navigate through questions using scroll bar or directly scroll through the question number grid. AFCAT screen contains the following buttons with the functionality as specified below:
View Instructions:
This button will display the instructions to you. From my personal experience, DO NOT CLICK ON THIS BUTTON. The screen will go blank and you have to log in again and have a new session ID.
Radio Buttons:
These indicate your responses corresponding to the choice of the answer as written against each of them. Choose the one which you think is correct.
Clear Answer:
This will clear your response to that particular question and you can answer the question again.
Mark for Review/Unmark:
If you want to get back to a question you feel doubtful about, you can click on this button and it will display a question mark next to it on the grid.
Submit Examination:
If you are done with the exam before completion of time and want to submit, you can click on this button and confirm your submission. However, you will be allowed to leave only after completion of the allotted time. If at the end of time, you could not click on this button, worry not, it will be automatically submitted to the servers.
Conclusion:
AFCAT is being conducted online and we can expect some glitches with its conduct. From the part of you, as a candidate, you are required to follow the instructions religiously and inform to the CDAC invigilator immediately in case of any discrepancy.
