Why Self- Doubt Isn’t Doing You Any Good.

Indian Army Making Bridge

It’s rightly said that dreams don’t work unless you do. No matter how much one could wish that all of their dreams and aspirations could come true without having to work too hard, you will always find yourself and others striving to achieve the goals that everyone has set for themselves.
The catch to achieving great things in life and particularly one’s dreams and ambitions is that half of us live in self-doubt. You might have said the following things to yourself at least at one point in your life: ‘I can’t do this’, ‘’I’m not meant to do this’, I’m better off doing anything but this’, ‘ I won’t be able to achieve my goal’. At some instances, these internal dialogs act as a motivator and push us to do whatever it takes to complete a task or to achieve a goal. However, when these internal dialogs get too much to handle for an individual, the consequences can be quite grave.
Self-doubt is a normal and a natural emotion that everybody experiences. Me, you, our friends, family members and everyone who’s human, seems to doubt their capabilities and their worth from time to time. The point at which it becomes maladaptive is when a person completely gives up, gives up on his/her goal, gives up on trying and pretty much everything that is related to his/her goal in life. It can be very daunting and demoralizing when your n number of efforts don’t seem to give you the desired output. But what’s important to know is that IT IS OK. It is ok if nothing seems to be going the way you planned it. It is ok if you didn’t get what you wanted, in the first trial. It is ok if there are more downs than ups in your journey towards your goal.
The question that you need to ask yourself is- “Am I are determined to succeed?” or “Am I determined to fail?” Hoping that your answer is a ‘yes’ to the first question, there’s something you need to do right away- stop living in self-doubt and self-pity. If you want something then do something in order to get it. It’s that simple.
The most important thing is not the availability of resources or opportunities, rather the belief that you can make things happen and that you can achieve your goals.
The mind has a very vital role to play in cognitive processes. Research after research has shown and proven that if you put your mind to something, then half of the matter is sorted out there and then.
Start believing that your current situation in life isn’t always going to be like this, believe that change can happen for you and that you, yourself will make it happen.
Ask yourself the question that if you encounter a person who is unsure of his/her own capability and potential, will you, (as an employer) take the chance of hiring such a person in your organization? Probably not right? The point that I’m trying to make here is that you can not expect others to be sure of you and to believe in you if you, yourself are reluctant and doubtful to do that.
As you start believing in yourself and become sure of what all you are capable of, a lot of other positive changes start happening:
1. You become more self- confident .
2. Your self- efficacy increases.
3. You become more action orientated.
4. You start experiencing positive emotions more often.

“If you can dream it, you can achieve it”. Have faith in yourself and believe in your capabilities. Your goal won’t be too far from you.

China At Extreme End of The Dominance

China vs Indian Fight Army

India’s growing military expansion is attracting several private players and government has been seen emphasizing on increasing the defense expenditure. Recently Defense Minister Manohar Parrikar has commented to increase the defense expenditure in the budget. But as the tensions are growing between India and its powerful neighbor China, the situation seems to be replicating day by day. China’s growing military preparedness is a point of concern for India and other Asian nation. Some recent acts and steps taken by China clarifies its intentions. Some of them are given below.

  1. China Raises Its Tibetan Force Command’s Rank – The move that was recently reported, aims at expanding the scope of military preparedness and missions in the respective area. The step of raising the command’s authority is believed to take it under the PLA’s forces.
  2. China’s Concern over India’s NSG Membership – China has showed its opposition in providing India, the membership of NSG (Nuclear Supplier Group). China supported its move by saying that all NSG members are aiming to safeguard the Nuclear Non-Proliferation regime. On the other hand, U.S has given its support to India for joining the Nuclear Supplier Group.China vs Indian Fight Army
  3. Trade Route From China To Nepal – China has extended its hand toward the buffer nation between China and India i.e. Nepal. China has recently announced for setting up of a road and rail route to Nepal focusing on trading. Earlier, India’s intervention in the constitution and blockade issues in Nepal made the relation sour. The rail track goes to Tibet territory and the route then changes to the road. Earlier, fuel deal between China and Nepal that relieved Nepal from dependency for fuel on India, raised concerns in India.
  4. Folk Singer’s Deployment and Expansion of Disputed Island – The deployment of a folk singer on the disputed island in South China Sea once, again took the dispute around the tables. Earlier, construction of airstrips and further deployment of artillery weapons on the island made the issue more serious.
  5. LAC Demarcation Problems between India and China – NSA Ajit Doval and his Chinese counterpart Yang Jiechi in the 19th round of boundary talks in Beijing, raised the issue of LAC. The outcomes are still to be finalized and the issue is still a point of discussion between both the nations. Whereas China gave indications that is not up for demarcation of LAC.
  6. Masood Azhar Issue – China has supported Pakistan to oppose India’s proposal to U.N nations to ban Jaish-e-Mohommed chief Masood Azhar. Sources reported that nations like France, U.S. and U.K. supported the proposal, but China’s opposition as a veto power holder, took the matter into cold phase. China had done the same thing in past after Mumbai attacks.

Conclusion – China and India are the top growing powers in Asian region. Both the nations are handling tough circumstances and several major issues are surrounding China. U.S is catering the talks and issues between both the nations, but China seems to be uncomfortable with the intervention of the U.S. in between. China has recently made a comment saying that China and India are capable enough to sort out their issues without interference of any other nations. Well, this move can be actualized by parallel efforts form both the sides.

Exercise ‘Red Flag – Alaska’ Concludes At Eielson Air Force Base

Red Flag Exercise

Over the last decade, IAF has been actively participating in various operational exercises hosted by various countries. Recently, Exercise Red Flag-Alaska was conducted at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska. The main phase of the exercise had commenced on 28th April with a mix of combat and support elements participating from IAF, USAF and US Navy. The exercise concluded on this Friday, May 13th.

Here is what happened during the exercise:

  1. The advanced aerial combat training exercise saw the IAF’s potent SU-30 MKI aircraft participating in Offensive Counter Air Ops in which they provided Escort cover to the strike elements.
  2. The IAF Jaguars DARIN II undertook integrated strike missions dropping practice bombs over the world renowned JPARC (Air to Ground Range).
  3. A team of over 170 Indian personnel was part of the exercises.
  4. The Indian Air Force (IAF) flew 10 aircraft: 4 Su-30MKIs, 4 Jaguars and 2 IL-78 aerial refuelling tankers.
  5. The exercise was played under the multiple simulated scenarios designed to provide realistic settings with a Red Force, defending their airspace and assets, and a Blue Force acting as the offensive side.
  6. The Red Force was largely constituted by U.S. F-16 fighters, while the IAF planes, along with other USAF aircraft such as F-15, F-16 and F-22 and the U.S. Navy F-18, constituted the Blue Force.
  7. A set of Red Flag team also formed the ‘White Force’ which watched the entire exercise in real time on tactical displays in the operations room on ground. Kill removal (removal of the pilots and aircraft assumed shot by the enemy) made the exercise more realistic.
  8. There were three missions commanded by IAF in the exercise. Mission commanders of both the Jaguars and Su 30s were involved in planning, execution and conduct of debrief.
  9. The teams had to endure sub-zero temperatures during most of the exercise, which posed a challenge to the maintenance team despite which they managed to maintain 100 percent serviceability of all platforms.
  10. The IAF fighters have always flown with their radars switched off during exercises with the U.S. so as not to reveal the radar signatures.
  11. The Red Flag exercise, held periodically at the Nellis Air Force Base since 1975, provides an opportunity to the pilots from the US, NATO and other allied countries to practice and refine their skills for real combat situations.
  12. Since the exercises are an expensive endeavour, the IAF had decided to participate once in five years. This edition is believed to have cost over ₹100 crore.

The contingent is expected to return to India in the last week of May. The Su-30s will additionally participate in the exercise “Desert Eagle II” with the UAE Air Force on their way back home.

18 Things That All Fauji Girlfriends Can Relate To

18 Things That All Fauji Girlfriends Can Relate To

The whole experience of being in love is delightful; however it gets even better when you are in love with a soldier! Fauji relationships aren’t the regular type and being in a relationship with a man in uniform isn’t easy too, but for what it’s worth, it is completely life changing. The feeling of loving and to be loved, by a person who constantly faces danger, every time, every day for the safety of the people of our country is something that words can’t describe.

Being a fauji girlfriend is a different experience altogether, having said that following are some of the things that all the fauji girlfriends can relate to:

  1. You’ve become so familiar with the Army jargons that they are now a part of your vocabulary. When you use these ‘not so common’ and ‘peculiar’ words, you get quite a look from your civilian friends.
  2. Part of the reason that you are this strong woman today is because of n number of times that he’s cancelled his leave (because he has to), however, the heartbreaks don’t matter when you finally get to see and meet him.
  3. When he’s posted away, you phone becomes your best friend. You never (never, ever) let it go out of your sight. You even wake up at 3am just to have a two minutes conversation with him and in a weird way, it makes your day.
  4. You’ve become extremely patient in life. Waiting comes naturally to you, all thanks to the months and months of planning your leaves together and waiting for the execution of your plans ( that you’ve so joyfully made!) to happen.
  5. Being addressed as ma’am is now very common for you, since that’s what his friends and known people call you.
  6. You have a souvenir/ gift from each place of his posting.
  7. Every piece of news about the Armed Forces and especially about the area in which he’s posted grabs your attention right away.
  8. You spend most of your ideal time counting Days Left for Him to Come Home and making an endless list of plans and things to do when he’s around ( most of which just involves cuddling).
  9. When he’s on a course (young officer’s course, etc.) you become his source of motivation and push him to perform his best.
  10. You understand the sacrifices and the hardships of the Army life so much better now and you couldn’t be any more proud of him.
  11. Your entire schedule and priorities change when he’s on leave.
  12. The exchange of letters is what keeps the spark alive in your long distance relationship.
  13. Even though the two of you are miles apart, he is always the first one to know of your every sadness and every joy. His love and support are what makes it all worthwhile.
  14. Movies like LOC Kargil, Lakshya, Pukaar, Border, Yahaan, and Holiday are your all-time favourites. Songs from these movies fill your heart with so much love and sadness.
  15. The number of times you’ve met each other is probably far less than the months that you’ve together for.
  16. You have spent days without hearing his voice and months without meeting him, but all this only strengthens your love and pride for him.
  17. When he’s back, you both spend most of your time making as many memories as possible (clicking pictures, etc.) and these become your saving grace when you both are apart.
  18. You are super-duper proud of your man in uniform. Irrespective of all the hard times that you face while being away from him and being in this unusual long distance relationship, you wouldn’t have it any other way and for what it’s worth, you’d do it all over again.

 

P.S. – My utmost regards to all the fauji girlfriends out there. You girls are amazing and I’m sure your soldier loves you more than anything else. Hang in there ladies!
Jai Hind!

Recommended TES-35 (ARMY) And 10+2 B.Tech (NAVY)

Hello everyone, this is Deepak Kumar. I cleared my SSB in 2nd and 3rd attempt. In my first SSB I got Conference Out from 24 SSB Bangalore. In 2nd attempt I cleared for TES-35 from 17 SSB Bangalore and in 3rd attempt I cleared for 10+2 B.Tech from NSB Visakhapatnam. So here I begin my journey for attending  SSB.

After getting Conference Out from 24 SSB in August 2015 I was totally in depression. But I started my preparation for the coming SSB Interviews and side by side I was also preparing for the IIT entrance exams.

Recommendation from 17 SSB

The reporting date for my SSB was 1 March 2016 at 2:00 PM. I left my home at 3:00 AM in morning on 1 March 2016. I reached Jaipur Airport and boarded flight in time. I reached Bangalore Airport by 10:00 AM. Then I reached Selection Centre South Bangalore by 12 noon. Then our documentation started from 2:00 PM and it got over by 8:00 PM.

Recommended For Indian Army TES-35 After Getting Merit Out In TES-34

“Words are like threads, make a web from it and catch the mind of people.” Hey guys this is Mayank Kumar Shukla going to share my story and experience through this. I was recommended back in Sept 2015 from Allahabad in my first attempt but unfortunately I didn’t make it to the academy and was merit out that time. But forgetting the past and moving ahead in life, I boosted up myself for my next SSB. My parents encouraged me a lot; my best buddies, Jyotsana Anand, Ankur Singh and Adarsh Pandey helped me while the preparation. My Social Studies teacher Miss Shashi Singh ma’am also helped me in preparing current affairs and took my interview several times which increased my confidence.

My reporting date for the SSB was 14th March 2016 in Allahabad. I departed from Lucknow to Allahabad on 13th March after seeking the blessings of my parents who came along with me to the railway station. I reached there at 1pm and went with my Uncle Mr. Anand Dubey to his house. I rested there, had food and revised a bit for the SSB in the evening and took a proper sleep in the night.

Next day, my uncle dropped me at the MCO and from there I joined my fellow candidates who were waiting there. We all went together to the Selection Centre by the army bus and had breakfast there. Then we were called for document verification and were divided into three groups, first The Fresher’s and the screened out, second The Repeaters/conference out and last group was of a previously recommended candidate in which I found myself alone but after few minutes a candidate came out of the repeaters line and joined me. He was recommended few days before from Allahabad for NDA-136 batch. There were total of 231 candidates who reported that day and I was having the last chest number i.e. 231 😛

The screening process went as usual which comprises of Intelligence Tests followed by Picture Perception and Discussion Test (PP and DT). My Intelligence Tests went good and I completed all the questions in given time. Picture Perception test also went good and now it was the time for the discussion test. It went on as it was expected and that room became fish market as soon after the assessor said to start the discussion. After that psychologist decided to divide the group into two sub groups and then conducted the test. Afterward, we were provided lunch and then we went back to the testing hall for knowing the result. The results were announced of Day-1 test and 20 were screened in out of 231 candidates and I got chest no.19.  We then filled the PIQ form and then we talked to each other and became friends on the first day only.

 

DAY-2

The next day was psychological test which comprises of Thematic Apperception Test, Word Association Test, Situation Reaction Test and Self Description Test. We all went to the testing hall and took our seats and the instructions were provided by the assessors before very test. I did 12/12 TAT, 58/60 WAT, 47/60 SRT and wrote the SDT projecting the necessary and positive qualities.

Here I would like to say that one should be true in this test along with plenty amount of managed thoughts in mind. AND your writing speed should also be fast to cope up with the time given for every test. 😛

On completion of these tests, few candidates went for their interview and rest of us went to the candidate’s line. We played different games and enjoyed the company of each other there. I learned the tactics of volley ball from my fellow mates in the evening.

DAY-3

GTO Day-1, the day on which our group effort is checked along with physical strength. We all woke up at 04:30am and got ready like a white angel 😛 We were asked to assemble at 06:30am so we did our breakfast early and gathered near the shed. Everyone was excited for the GTO activities and was discussing how to tackle every situation in those tasks. We had Group Discussion, Group Planning Exercise, Progressive Group Task, Group Obstacle Race, Half Group Task, Lecturette and Individual Obstacle on the first day of GTO only.

GD went good as we all planned earlier in our group that not to make it noisy and to give everyone equal opportunity to express his views. GPE also went good and we all agreed upon the common story very soon. In PGT, group members responded very well and we completed the task before the given time. Then we went to the most interesting, physically challenging and sort of fun-filled task which is popularly known as “Snake Race”. We all did very well in the task and finished first. But all the three groups where cheering and shouting their war cry as every group was thinking that they have won it. I suppose the assessors are so smart that they create certain situations so that every group finishes the race at the same time.Recommended For Indian Army TES-35 After Getting Merit Out In TES-34

After that we were given a break of 20mins and then we were divided in two sub groups of odd and even chest numbers for HGT and my group completed that task within the given time. Now it was the time of Lecturette, my personal favorite task. I spoke on ‘Strikes and protests: harming or helping the citizens’. We got a 3-4min break in which everyone praised my speaking quality which boosted my morale to the peak. After that, our group was called for IO. I completed 14 obstacles in 3minutes, 5 obstacles more than my previous SSB.

Proceedings of the day end after IO task. None of us was having any further energy left inside and we all hurried to the candidate’s line and lied on our bed like a nonliving object. It seemed like the scene of night in the afternoon. 😛

DAY-4

GTO Day-2, only two of our tasks were left. Command Task and Final Group Task. We completed it easily. Then I got information that my interview is scheduled at 10am so I have to go direct to the SSB board in the GTO dress only. I washed my face and went to the waiting room of the 14SSB board. After few minutes my chest number flashed on the screen and I entered the room of Dy President. Interview went nice and I suppose interviewing officer was satisfied by my answers. Firstly he asked the questions related to my personal life like about my marks achieved in different classes, family and friends in a rapid fire manner. Then he asked general knowledge questions related to countries and their capitals, currencies, full forms and different organizations of which I answered most of them. My interview went for approx 30-40mins.

DAY-5

It was the Conference Day. We all woke up early, dressed up formally, packed our bags and went to the waiting shed. We were briefed about the conference procedure by the staff member. I waited for my number and then went for my conference. Dy President asked about the differences in between my both the SSB’s experience. He also asked me about the changes I faced after getting merit out. He then asked me for the suggestions of which I answered that all the things were very good and I enjoyed it a lot. BUT he then again asked to suggest him two changes of which I said him to enhance the facility of wet canteen and a space for cricket ground 😀 My conference went for around 15mins. And then we gathered in the room for the results.

The result came within 20mins and I made it once again. Total of four candidates were selected out of 20 candidates. I called my parents as soon as I got time and informed them with tears of happiness in my eyes.

I was medically fit in my first SSB but this time, I got TR for Cardiac murmur, Tachycardia and B/L Flat feet which I have cleared in the medical review. This time, I am hoping for the best and a good rank in the merit list.

At last, I will say to my fellow Defence aspirants that if u want to see yourself in the olive green you must be determined for it. All the things happen in your life to check your determination. If you are determined towards your goal, you will definitely achieve it. “The secret of life though is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.”

The deceased had complained of the chest pain but was found fit by the medical officer. During the training exercise of the unit he collapsed.

The incident triggered an angry outburst from the fellow jawans resulting in fight between jawans and officers. one Officer was beaten up by the agitated jawans for his alleged apathetic attitude. Senior officers have rushed to the spot to assess the situation. The Army has confirmed that this fight has resulted in injuries.

However, the army has described the incident as not a serious breach of indiscipline.

In a statement to the media, the Indian Army has said, “A case of death of a jawan during routine training activity has taken place in an infantry unit in the North East. It is NOT a case of any mutiny. The Jawan complained of chest pain prior to route march – was checked by unit MO (Medical Officer) and found fit. The jawan later collapsed during route march – was brought to the Field Ambulance where he succumbed.”

Meanwhile, the court of enquiry has been ordered and the matter is being investigated.

The Army statement was issued after reports emerged on social media of a “mutiny-like” situation involving officers and jawans in the area.
