How To Salute Like A Soldier

By
SSBCrack

0

A military salute is a sign of respect and recognition given by members of the armed forces to their superiors and officers. Here are the basic steps to properly salute like a soldier:

  1. Stand at attention: Stand straight with your feet together and your arms at your sides. Your head and eyes should be facing forward.
  2. Raise your right hand: Slowly raise your right hand, keeping your fingers extended and joined, until the tip of your middle finger touches the brim of your hat or the eyebrow if you are not wearing a hat. Your wrist should be straight, and your arm should be at a 45-degree angle.
  3. Hold the salute: Hold the salute for a brief moment, long enough to show your respect, but not so long that it becomes awkward. Keep your eyes fixed on the person you are saluting.
  4. Release the salute: Slowly lower your arm back to your side.

Remember, as a civilian, it is not appropriate to initiate a salute to a member of the military. It is the responsibility of the military member to initiate the salute. If a military member salutes you, it is appropriate to return the salute as a sign of respect.

How To Salute Like A Soldier

The IAF hand salute is exactly like that of the Indian Army, with the open palm forward and the fingers and thumb together, and the middle finger almost, but not touching the hatband. The Naval hand salute, also derived from that of the Royal Navy, is different, where in the palm of the hand is not exposed and faces towards the shoulder. Its origin lies in the days of sail when copious amounts of pitch and tar were used to seal the timber hull from seawater. To protect their hand’s seaman wore white linen gloves but these got dirty and to prevent their dirty gloves from being seen, the hand was moved 90 degrees to become today’s naval hand salute.

ssb psychological tests practice book

The hand salute is only one form of saluting; others have the same intention, to signify peaceful intention. In the ’present arms’ position, the rifle is placed in a position where it can do no harm and is being presented away from the body as if ‘giving it away’. The sword salute points the sword tip downwards rendering the body defenseless. This form of salute is almost obsolete in the IAF as no uniform currently worn, includes the sword; it is only worn by the cadet commander of the passing out parade at the Air Force Academy to accept the Nawanagar sword of Honour. In the modern day formation fly past, aircraft fly low and slow and together in an almost ‘defenseless’ manner.

Gun Salute

The firing of gun salutes in honor of the President or Governors or to mark a special occasion is a very old custom. This custom first developed in ships at sea. In the days of sail, the guns of a ship rested at ports along the length of the gun decks. The guns were often kept fully loaded and ready for action. Firing them in salute meant that for the length of time it took to reload the guns the ship was virtually defenseless. This action showed friendly intent. As an aside, the British in their “do-gooding” days of trying to curb the Sati in India, offered to fire as many guns as a prince had wives when he visited the Governor-General if he accepted to abolish sati in his princedom. But as Philip Mason writes, it was a tame substitute and eighty-four women died with maharaja Budh Singh of Bundi, sixty-four with Ajit Singh of Jodhpur and numbers upwards of twenty were usual in the 1830s. Normally odd numbers of guns are fired with twenty-one being the maximum for the President.

indian army gun salute

Another development is the turning of one’s eyes to the right and looking into the eyes of the reviewing officer. When knights passed serfs in medieval times, the serfs lowered their heads as a token of respect. However, if they were the fighting men of the castle who followed the knights in war, they were allowed to look their superior in the face. Theirs was the honour due to the fighting men. Eyes right is a continuation of this privilege. Saluting with colours and standards dates back to the 17th century. An extract from a military work in 1639 states: “ if a king or great prince passeth by, the ensign (colour bearer) is to veil his colours close to the ground with his knee bending in token allegiance and submission”. In 1799 this practice was officially recognized in the Royal Army and continues today in the IAF. Saluting with the colours is exclusively reserved for the President however, when the IAF colours are paraded at the Air Force day parade, all members of the armed forces are to salute and those in civilian clothes to come to attention.

7 Habits Of Soldiers With Amazing Mental Toughness

When we think about a soldier, the image that comes to our mind is of a strong and well-built man in uniform who faces each and every challenge readily and with determination. What is it about these men in uniforms that whatever they do, it seems like a cakewalk? Being mentally tough is one of the most important characteristics of a soldier.

The men in uniforms have to face such adverse conditions and unpredictable situations that being mentally tough is a must for them. Mental toughness or Resilience, as psychologists call it, is the strength to endure hardships. Mentally tough people don’t give up or give in when faced with challenging situations. This holds so true for our soldiers as they are always prepared for any kind of adversity that might occur.

ssb psychological tests practice book

Following are some of the habits of soldiers who are amazingly mentally tough:

  1. They indulge in positive self-talk.
    We all have conversations with ourselves from time to time without realizing it. Now, this self-talk can either be negative in terms of doubting oneself or it can be positive in terms of motivating oneself. Soldiers always indulge in positive self-talk and motivate themselves to stay focused and remain goal-oriented.
  2. They value their past.
    The past can be a great teacher. The lessons that your past teaches are valuable and it’s important to learn from the mistakes that you’ve made or better yet, learn from others’ mistakes. No soldier repeats the same mistake twice, that’s because when something bad happens they view it as an opportunity and learn the things that they didn’t know before.
  3. They exercise.
    Research has shown that people who exercise are socially as well as athletically more competent. They interact with people better and they tend to have higher self-esteem. All this fits quite well for a soldier doesn’t it? With the kind of physical training regime that they have, it’s no wonder that our soldiers are both mentally and psychically fit and strong.
  4. They value emotions.
    Being emotionally intelligent is not just beneficial for others but also for oneself. It is said that emotional intelligence is the cornerstone of resilience. Being able to understand and comprehend others’ emotions and to regulate one’s own emotions is essential to be mentally tough. The soldiers are good at understanding and dealing with other people’s emotions as well as regulating and keeping a check on their own emotions. Our EQ unlike our IQ isn’t fixed and it can be developed with constant effort and practice.
  5. They are optimistic and confident.
    With the kind of rigour that the soldiers go through and the kind of life-threatening situations they face, being optimistic is a must for them. They trust and believe in their instincts and they are confident of themselves. Being optimistic and being confident boosts one’s self-esteem which in turns has a positive effect on the mental toughness of an individual. Having a positive outlook for a soldier is important since being negative about things isn’t very helpful or productive.
  6. They are problem solvers.
    The soldiers don’t waste their time remaining doubtful or complaining and whining about the problems that the face, instead, they make strategies and work out different possible ways to solve a problem. Now you know why the Army is always called when something goes wrong. They don’t sit and wait for things to happen for them, they make it happen for themselves. They understand that they cannot control the situations but they can control themselves and how to react to problems.
  7. They are thankful.
    Being a soldier isn’t an easy job. They put their lives at stake every day for the protection and safety of our country. They realize that life is a blessing and they are thankful for whatever they have.

Conclusion – The interviewer in SSB won’t ask you the deep technical questions of coding, or syntax errors, rather they would clarify whether you have the basic and conceptual knowledge or not. So keep your basic knowledge clear and stay ready for the explanation of the concepts. Sometimes the IO puts some common problems to check the knowledge. In that case, what all matters is your knowledge and experience. Listen carefully and then respond to what is being asked.

Maj Poonam and the spirit of her other successful team members reinforces the ethos of the Indian Armed Forces that adventure in the uniform is ‘a way of life like no other’.

Here are some tips on how to ace the SSB lecturette:

  3. Structure and Content: Structure your lecturette in a logical and coherent manner. Start with an introduction, followed by the main points, and conclude with a summary. Your content should be relevant, clear, and concise.
  4. Confidence and Body Language: Your body language plays a vital role in conveying your confidence and command over the topic. Maintain eye contact, use hand gestures appropriately, and speak with clarity and conviction.

100 Topics For SSB Interview Group Discussion

Is Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in retail sector good for India?

  • Foreign direct investment (FDI) is an investment in a business by an investor from another country for which the foreign investor has control over the company purchased. The Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) defines control as owning 10% or more of the business.

Can the world economy bank upon India for growth?

  • The World Bank expects India’s economy to expand at 7.2 percent this fiscal but said that the note ban temporarily disrupted growth last fiscal, which slowed to an estimated 6.8 percent.

Falling oil prices

  • From 2010 until mid-2014, world oil prices had been fairly stable, at around $110 a barrel. But since June prices have more than halved. Brent crude oil has now dipped below $50 a barrel for the first time since May 2009 and US crude is down to below $48 a barrel. The reasons for this change are twofold – weak demand in many countries due to insipid economic growth, coupled with surging US production.

Jan Dhan Yojana

  • Pradhan Mantri Jan–Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) is National Mission for Financial Inclusion to ensure access to financial services, namely, Banking/ Savings & Deposit Accounts, Remittance, Credit, Insurance, Pension in an affordable manner.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Demonetization policy

  • This move will help the government to track unaccounted black money or cash on which income tax has not been paid. Individuals who are sitting on a pile of cash usually do not deposit the amount in the bank or invest anywhere as they would be required to show income or submit PAN for any valid financial transactions. They would hide it somewhere and use it as and when necessary. Banning high-value currency will impact people who will have no option, but, to declare income and pay tax on the same or destroy the cash somehow. Now, it is not possible to hide the money as the notes have been declared invalid. It may cause inconvenience for initial few days for those who have to start running to the banks to exchange notes, deposit amount or withdraw the same. The situation can turn chaotic if there is a delay in the circulation of new currency.

Freedom of press should exist

  • Freedom refers to the state of liberty, or right and privileged to speak and act according to one’s own will. Press and media (print, electronic and online) are the most important medium of expressing opinion of the people in a democratic country that justifies one’s individual right to speech and expression, a coveted right enshrined in the Indian constitution and in the constitution of other countries on the globe. Press generally refers to the newspaper industry. In modern world, besides newspaper, there are various forms of news-media such as television and radio broadcasting, online news websites and blogs, etc.

Smartphones Addiction-  Latest trend or harmful device

  • According to Erica Swallow, associate editor of Mashable, the United Kingdom has declared itself a “smartphone-addicted” country.  Ofcom, a UK telecommunications regulator, released the following statistics as part of their study on smartphone usage in the UK:
    • 37% of adults and 60% of teens admit they are highly addicted to their smartphones.
