“THE FIRE”, in me to become an army officer starts after the recommendation of one of my college senior” i come to know more about army and its life style. and with time it become my aim and dream to see myself in front of the mirror in army dress. Army give us pride and honour and a supreme status in society. its my passion to become an army officer and live my life full of adventures and serve my country simultaneously.”

Very good.
I want to join Army because it is the service of HONOUR.I would be joining the most prestigious service,which is service for “Motherland”.
In our ancient vedas its said that-
“Janani Janm Bhoomischya Swargadapi Gariyasi”
Which means that “Mother and Motherland are superior to Heaven”.
After thing deeply,I came to know that human being is very selfish.He always thinks of himself by working for the MNC’s or corporates for survival.But,does’nt has the capicity to repay the debt of what his motherland has given him.
So,Its the duty of every youth of our nation to contribute for the development and protection of our Motherland which can be possible with Indian Army.
Whole population of our country is living with peace because of a rigid Defence system,which is also a reason of HONOUR to be in INDIAN ARMY

Reasons why i have to join Defence Forces.
1) I wanted to be in a job which evolves both mental and physical fitness .
2) The strict discipline life of Defence Forces inspires me a lot, which helps me motivated throughout the life.
3) To be part of organisation which as pride and honour.
I believe there are two ways of living life ,
A life with pleasure and other with pride .
The life with pleasure may or may give you the pride,
but life with PRIDE will definitely give you the Pleasure !!!
Men die but honor doesn’t.
Armed forces provide that honor.
That’s why I want to serve in the Army.
I want to live and die for the honor, pride, discipline and justice. Every morning when I wake up and stand in front of the mirror, I should feel proud of the person in the mirror and be happy to be living for another day.
Army’s uniform, respect, adventurous life and the fact that being in we can work everywhere be it in foreign countries, DRDO, BDL, airforce, navy etc
Gentlemen you all must be feeling like to speak something differernt and original which is eye catching and appealing but a question that is troubling my brain and taming me is that “I feel almost at the peak of patriotism and sacrifice when I read about the warroirs who sacrifced their life at just an age when someone could have lead a easy going life but on the other hand I read about the POW and what betrayal they and their family are facing at the hands of the government like the cases of captain saurabh kaliya and the 59 pow who are at the verge of extinction and their life which they thought would provide them with job satisfaction and job security is nowhere giving them cover for their deteriorating lives.”Please I am a seeker of truth and nothing else so do, grant me the same.
