RECOMMENDED FOR INDIAN AIRFORCE IN 6th ATTEMPT

Well I am feeling very happy to share my SSB experience with all of you. First of all, I have done my B.tech from NIT Jalandhar in 2015. Since then, I was striving to fulfill my dream of joining Defence Forces.
My ssb journey started in march 2015, when I first appeared for ssb through CDSE at Allahabad, got conference out. Subsequently, underwent 4 ssb’s of army, navy and airforce before getting recommendation in 6th attempt for Indian Air Force. I scored 154 marks in afcat and 52 in EKT ( cutoff was 52 also)
It was the fresh morning of 25th April 2016, total of 175 candidates reported at Dehradun MCO. We all then taken to 1Afsb.
Before the starting of screening round, our docs get verified and then after having breakfast, our phase 1 testing started which consisted of 2 parts
1) OIR testing which consists of simple verbal , non verbal questions. (practice well to score good rank)
2) PPDT- a very hazy picture was shown and all of us made story as per our own perception. After 15-20 mins, we then went to a room for discussion, everyone narrated his story and participated in discussion as much as they can.
(Advice- Speak confidently and dont try to dominate by speaking again and again in discussion (2-3 times is enough).
Finally, out of 175, 74 got screened in. Rest, routed back on the same day.

Next day, our Psych test started at 2.30 Pm because of PABT test in the morning.
I wrote down stories with the first thought that came to my mind (because this time, I didn’t practice even a single story or Wat or SRT, just gave my natural responses ( I’ve not done practice just bcz I was aware with the process and tired of cramming stories n words again n again)
I attempted all stories, almost all words and 45 SRT’s and a very genuine SD.

Next day was free, as I didn’t have any testing scheduled for tht day.
Then next day , my interview was scheduled which went for almost 40-45 mins in which examiner asked me about my studies, family, friends, hobbies, favourite teacher, favourite subjects. During interview, he asked me, why I want to join Defence forces. I gave him the answer that he probably had not received from any candidate, thats why he raised his eyebrows with a continuous smile on his face and started writing something on his page continuously for 15-20 seconds. My interview went very well as I was happy with my performance( still was not expecting of recommendation at all)
For the next two days, my Gto testing was scheduled, which includes the confrence day as well.
At first in Gto testing, GD was conducted in which we discussed on two topics ( sorry didnt remember topics), after that Group Planning exercise.
In PGT, I did not get enough chances to perform, but whatever ideas I gave were enough good.
(as soon as your workable ideas reached to the ears n eyes of GTO, it will get counted as your advantage).
In the remaining tasks, I performed as per my best.afsb interview recommended
On last day i.e Confrence day, my few gto tasks were pending. As soon as our gto completed, we sent to our room to change over the outfits.
Finally, we made sit in Alaknanda hall from where candidates sent to confrence room. Every candidate was very tensed at that time, whereas I was playing Tabla on table (bcz I was not expecting anything).
Ultimately, it was my turn to go inside. I waited for 10-15 mins outside the room, then bell rang and I went inside. Senior Interviewer welcomed me( the same person conducted my PI , when I visited Afsb earlier), then my conference went for 10 mins during which they asked me about my jobs which I left before even joining them. Then again question got asked, WHY DEFENCE? I gave the same answer that I had given in PI, at that time even, my answer brought a pleasant smile at the faces of all assesors sitting in the room.

Now, it was the result time, 4 out of 74 got recommended and luckily I was one of them.
The moment of getting recommendation was like as if I got everything that I longly desire and strive for.
After that , I got date for medicals and reported medically fit.
Recently, with the almighty’s grace, I successfully get into merit list to join IAF in technical branch.
A big thanks to all who remained beside me during my time of continuous failure. If anyone need any help text me, I am sharing my Facebook profile id below, whenever I will be free, I try to answer all.

IF YOU WILL FOCUS ON RESULTS, CHANGE WILL NEVER COME

SO FOCUS ON CHANGE, RESULTS WILL DEFINITELY COME

Be change oriented not result oriented.

JAI HIND

Thanks to all

India Towards Strong Air Weapons

India Toward Strong Air Weapons

The pace of induction of new arms and weapons in the Armed Force seems is accelerating day by day. Every passing day comes with a news of trail of indigenous weapon or plans of purchasing new weapons from the foreign sources. The modernisation and weapons enhancement is actually required to maintain the balance of power comparing it with the neighbouring nations.

The recent successful flight test of Smart Anti Airfield Weapon has raised the power of IAF. It also increased the confidence of the Armed Forces over the top arms-producing agency, DRDO. R. Christopher, secretary of DRDO congratulated IAF and DRDO for the successful test flight of the weapon. Some key points about SAAW are as follows:-

  1. SAAW is test fired from Jaguar aircraft at the test range, Chandipur, Odisha.
  2. It is indigenously manufactured by DRDO, having 120 kg weight and range of 100 kms.
  3. The Smart Weapon system can be launched from other combat aircrafts also like Sukhoi, Rafale etc.
  4. It is capable of destroying runways and bunkers and has high precision power.

In another crucial incident, the failure of the test flight of Nirbhaya cruise missile has taken the future of the Nirbhaya project in danger. As per the sources, the government is considering over the closure of the project after most of its trails went failed. The missile was aimed to be manufactured for empowering the Indian Army. But certain reasons have taken the project under scan.

On the other side, India is seen inclined toward the Kalibr missile of Russia, which is supported by high precision equipment and can destroy ground targets. The missile has a range of 2500 kms and the navy compatible version has also seen as a good option. The induction of India in the MTCR (Missile Technology Control Regime) has led to India’s interest in the missile.

Non-membership of MTCR was the reason behind the limited range of Brahmos cruise missile (290 kms), which is jointly produced by India and Russia. As India has got the membership of MTCR and Russia is already a member of it, both the nations are involved in producing an enhanced version of Brahmos missile with supersonic features, which can attain a speed of Mach 5.

Apart from this, the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) has taken a step ahead toward the purchasing of another C-17 transport aircraft from U.S. India already has 10 such aircrafts in its force. DAC has also reached a deal for acquiring 6 Maritime Reconnaissance Aircrafts for Coast Guard of India along with some other weapons and equipments for the IAF and Army.

Conclusion

The test flight of such weapons is an achievement for the arms manufacturers of India. Many developed nations are still devoid of such technologies, which can target steel reinforced structures. Agni V, Kalibr, and many others have become new targets for safer airspace.

They will bring the national security and deterrence to a new level. An upcoming project of Brahmos is a new ambitious project for India. Officials are eyeing the missile as it will be a next generation weapon for the nation.

IAF to Acquire One More C-17 Globemaster Heavy Transport Aircraft

The government last week gave the go-ahead to the Indian Air Force to purchase one more C-17 “Globemaster” heavy transport aircraft. With this, the IAF will now have 11 C-17 Globemasters in active service. This was one the four proposals cleared by the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), two days before Christmas.

The C-17 Globemaster is in operation with No. 81 Squadron IAF – “The Skylords” based at Air Force Station Hindon.

The IAF is purchasing just one additional C-17 aircraft because that was the only lone aircraft available with Boeing.

Boeing began shutting down the assembly line due to lack of further orders. In fact, 10 additional aircraft were manufactured and offered to all existing customers. A warning was sounded to India for an immediate decision. However, a delay in decision making in the Defence Ministry meant that the IAF missed out on the opportunity.

The IAF seems to have taken too long to push through the original proposal to buy three new C-17 aircraft. The American manufacturer had already pledged four of the last five C-17s in its production line to Qatar.

“We will now buy whatever we can and are planning to buy the single aircraft left with the US. In this regard, we are planning to move our proposal in a key Defence Ministry meeting planned to be held this month,” a senior IAF source said.

The annual average load airlifted by C-17 ranged between 13 tonnes and 18 tonnes per sortie, against the aircraft’s payload capacity of 70 tonnes.

The aircraft would help the Air Force to carry out several major operations including the recent airlift of new currency notes after the demonetisation drive by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Apart from the natural disasters, the aircraft also provides the capability to directly airlift tanks and infantry combat vehicles from the plains to high mountainous areas along with 300 fully-geared troops for operations.

The price of the aircraft is expected to be more than ₹2,500 crore per piece.

Along with the purchase of one more C-17 aircraft, the government also gave the nod to the Coast Guard’s proposal to acquire six multi-mission maritime aircraft for ₹5,500 crore along with the procurement of 1,500 indigenously designed and developed Nuclear Biological and Chemical warfare protection system for the infantry combat vehicle for ₹1,265 crore.

Another proposal of the army and the IAF for the procurement of 55 low-level light weight radars was also cleared by the Defence Acquisition Council for ₹419 crore.

During the convocation ceremony of the 131st course at the National Defence Academy, Khadakwasla on 28 November, a new trophy for cadets of BTech course was unveiled.

As of now, only the Naval cadets are eligible for the BTech course, which was started in June 2016 and the new trophy will be granted to the cadet standing first on the merit in the BTech stream. Plans are also being made to extend the BTech course to Army and Air Force cadets from January 2017 onwards.

The new trophy will be awarded to the topper of the four-year engineering degree course after he passes out of the NDA and completes training at the respective pre-commission training academy. The first trophy will be awarded to a Naval cadet.

Since engineering is a 4-year course, cadets who are able to successfully finish a three-year academic plus military training at the NDA will get their degrees in the following year later after the completion of school training at the respective officers’ academy from Jawaharlal Nehru University, Pune.

It is required to meet the four-year requirement of an engineering course as prescribed by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).

Earlier, 274 cadets, including 95 from science stream, 128 from software engineering and 51 from sociology streams, including 4 foreign cadets, were awarded degrees.

NDA is an exceptional tri-services institute where cadets experience a three-year training before continuing to finishing schools for Army, Navy and Air Force for another year of training and eventually taking charge as officers in the Indian military.

Here is how the new NDA BTech trophy looks like:

9 Things That Make Us Admire Military Families In India

Indian Army Family

How many times have you came across a military family, met them, shared a light moment and didn’t even realize they’re from a totally different state? Apart from being nomadic, military families are very adaptable. Here are a few things that will make you admire military families ever more.

 

  1. Being Passionate: While balancing careers, home life, kids and education, military families are always passionate about the things they do. Be it community service or learning a new art, they give their best at it until they achieve it.
  2. Knowing They’ll Have Inconveniences in Life: How many families do you think have celebrated this Diwali together? How many times have your father not been in the parents-teacher meet due to his duty? It’s very tough for soldiers as well as their families to hardly celebrate a good time together, let alone be festivals. But they still live with it owing to their national interests. That makes us respect them even more.Military Families
  3. Quickly Adaptable: Military families pack up, unpack and hit the ground running. They solo parent and be part of a couple again. It’s a continuous cycle but one thing that is really appreciable is where ever they are, they can adapt to the environment very quickly.
  4. Their Sacrifices Are Real: It is not only blood that you shed for your country is a sacrifice. But every person behind that blood, supporting it is themselves sacrificing a part of their life for a national cause. Many times, they have to hold down a family and a job while being away from their friends and family members.
  5. They’re Mentally Strong: I still remember a soldier being martyred in Jammu and all his proud father has to say was “I am proud to be his father”. This was the goosebumps moment for me. That’s strength.
  6. Every Soldier Is Not A Male: What do you picture when you think of military families? A big guy in a uniform with his wife and children? How about you imagine this: A great woman in a uniform with her husband and children or a couple, both in uniform? Amazed Much?
  7. They Stand Behind Their Soldier: My mother once told me that their marriage talks almost came to an end when they came to know that the groom is from the army. They thoughts were an army man’s life is not promising, he may die any day. But my mother was so influenced by the groom in Olive Green that she wanted to marry him. She stood behind that person in his every high and low, both during war and peace. That man is today my father.
  8. They Make Friends For Life: In this digital age of social media, the people with whom they’ve been for about 2-3 years become their lifelong friends. They probably make friends in every metropolis of the country which means you are never new to that city ever again.
  9. No Discrimination. Only Uniform Speaks: Military communities are far from perfect, but they’re not racists and certainly are not like so many other members of this country. After growing up in multiple states and countries, living side by side with people of all races, a military kid truly cannot comprehend racial prejudice.

Soldiers & IAF Deployed at Printing Presses for ‘Security and Labour Work’

In a shocking turn of actions post demonetization, many people compared being standing in bank line to being standing on the border. Finally, they got what they needed – participation of army in the demonetization cause with them. Around 400 army personnel have been deployed for security at the currency printing presses in Salboni in West Bengal and Dewas in Madhya Pradesh.

The sudden surge in manpower requirement in printing and allied operations has forced the government to call in the military which is the nation’s instrument of “last resort” in all emergency situations.

Demonetisation
Image for Representation Only

The military has been ordered to ferry money to every part of the country. The soldiers have also been ordered to make and count cash.

The soldiers were deployed in wake of security consideration around the press that prints the new currency notes. The soldiers are from the Eastern Command and the Central Command.

The Dewas Security Press at MP is printing new ₹500 currency notes whereas new ₹2,000 & ₹100 notes are being printed in Salboni of WB.

Apart from this, a team of 120 Air Warriors have been deployed at the currency printing press in Salboni.

The government has also deployed Air Force’s transport aircraft C-17 Globemaster and C-130 J Hercules to transport currency from the printing presses across the country.

C-17 Globemaster

The planes continue to make sorties carrying new currency completing 100 sorties between 19 November to 19 December. It has been termed as ‘The Great Rupee Airlift’ comparing the difficulty with the Berlin Airlift of supplies during 1948-1949.

The deployment of the military – rather than the police or paramilitary forces – is indicative of the sensitivity of the issues post demonetisation which the paramilitary cannot handle.

The negative impact of this order has been that the soldiers are being looked upon as “coolies” today, according to one officer. “We do physical labour, but to fight against enemies of the country. Now the government has ordered us to do this,” he said.

Is it good to use the military’s respected manpower to the extent that it has to perform a labour work, which incidentally, the paramilitary isn’t capable of? What are your views on this?

6 Things To Prepare Before Facing Personal Interview
6 Things To Prepare Before Facing Personal Interview

Preparation definitely ensures the success and this is also applicable in the SSB. But don’t misinterpret it with cramping and dumping the theoretical knowledge. Talking about the personal interview, there are certain things that can be prepared earlier in order to make a fluent impact over IO. These points show your constant observation and keenness toward the casual things. Some of them are mentioned below that will help you out in performing well in personal interview.

  1. Knowledge About Your Native City And State – Before appearing in the SSB, the candidates have to stay aware of the basic knowledge of their city and state. The knowledge has to be in a specific pattern like census data, social, economic, education, and cultural significance.
  2. Your Activities At Home And Relations With Family – Well, this is the most common question asked in the SSB and still candidates get stuck in it. Just observe yourself and your activities that you usually do at home. Get involved in home tasks and bring out the live experience of them and observe the nature and working style of your family members.
  3. Basic Knowledge Of Your Sports – Every candidate has played any sports in his lifetime that he mentions in the PIQ form. If you have played it genuinely then you should have the basic knowledge of it. Apart from this you have to stay ready to face the counter questions on your experience of playing the sports.
  4. Scout/ Guide Or NCC Experience – If you have mentioned your participation in NCC, Scouts and Guides or NSS, then you will be asked about your participation and basic knowledge of the services, camps, ranks, awards etc.
  5. Personality of Friends, Colleagues and Family Members – Your friends, their personality and their good and bad things can be a source of questioning for the IO. You will not be asked about the personality trait of all of your friends or relatives, but you close friends and family members would be the target of the IO.
  6. Knowledge About Hobbies And Interests – The most important and mostly asked by the IO is the topic related to your hobbies and interests. Writing anything randomly will take you down. If you have a genuine interest in specific things, then you should have the knowledge of it. For example, if you are interested in painting, then who is your best painter, what kind of painting do you like and what is the technique of it, who inspired you to get inclined toward It.?

Conclusion – It is always hard to face the unexpected thing. To manage such situations, it is always advised to bring out your dummy questions, clarify your doubts and be clear in your thoughts. Side by side priors preparations will help you in making a smooth and instant response at the interview. So before going to the SSB, prepare for the above questions and stay ready to face counter questions over them.

5 Ways to Build Confidence in Public Speaking
5 Ways to Build Confidence in Public Speaking

Confidence is the most crucial thing that is accessed and observed by the SSB crew. The leader has to stay confident to motivate his team as the engine has to stay firm to pull the train. Our GTO tasks and personal interview scans your confidence level. Speaking confidently is a problem for many candidates that takes them down. But it can be brought to the required level. There is always a solution of a problem. So to solve this problem, we are here with some common remedies that need smart and dedicated efforts to equalize your confidence level.

  1. Participating In Lecture Or Debate Competitions – The best way to make yourself confident in public speaking is to participate in debate, discussion and lecture competitions. These competitions require prior preparation and confident approach with a controlled mind to perform well and will remove your hesitation in speaking in public. It is always said that “Great speakers always rules”, for examples PM Narendra Modi, Hitler and many more.
  2. Speaking In Front Of The Mirror – The easiest way to escalate your speaking skills and confidence in front of the group of people, is to speak in front of the mirror, watching yourself in the mirror. It can be done at home and need least number of resources. But dedicated efforts are required to get expected results. Make eye contact with your image in the mirror and talk to yourself.
  3. Reading The Newspaper Loudly – The basic problem that aspirants encounter in SSB is that they find it hard to speak fluently in English in SSB, especially in interview and GTO tasks. Reading the newspaper loudly at home will further improve your English speaking skills and will help you in speaking efficiently in SSB.
  4. Talking In Social Groups – Talking in social groups will make you confident in putting your ideas and thoughts in front of the group of people. Another merit of it is that it will improve your listening skills and your way to respond to it confidently in your group. Social groups teach you how to frequently convert your thoughts into words and how to respond and react positively to others arguments.
  5. Practicing by Speaking In Front Of Friends – Your friends can be a source of practice to increase your confidence. Speak in front of them will make you feel comfortable and they can easily point out the problems that you are making in your speech. They will provide the best platform to you to bring up your confidence level in public speaking.

Conclusion – Confidence is required to live the life like a leader and it matters a lot when it comes to become an Armed Forces Officer. The first way of interaction of the officer with the team is by an effective and confident speaking and that is deeply analyzed in the SSB. It just take the first step to bring the confidence up, once you conquer shyness, you can speak out your thoughts freely without any hesitation in front of crowd staring at you.
