Indian Army as a Career Option

1. Rock Solid Job Security.

Nowadays in India, private companies do not give us as much job security as they gave to our parents and grandparents. In an economy where nothing is certain, having a government job is the best for us because we will never be asked to leave from a government job. Best of all there are no pay cuts and only increments throughout our life. Immaterial of whether the economy falls or rupee falls, no one will be sent home jobless from a government job.

2. Pay and Allowances.

If you are a freshly passed out and commissioned officer in the armed forces you will make about Rs. 42, 000 per month. Additionally, the allowances that you will get are flying pay, high altitude allowance, sailing allowance, island allowance, pilotage allowance, living allowance, submarine allowance, commando allowance, etc. Allowances vary between 6,000 to 16,000 plus DA of 60%.

3. Great Facilities for You and Your Family.

The facilities like free schooling to children, free medical facilities to dependents, Canteen facilities, Car to senior officers, loan facilities, excellent accommodation where ever you are posted, free air tickets to you and all your family anywhere in India once in a year. Facilities like swimming pool, tennis court, squash courts, etc are part of your accommodation.

Memberships to Clubs, gyms, and golf courses are absolutely so cheap that they are as good as free.

4. Great Food at No Cost.

If you are an unmarried officer, food is free of cost. Once married the ration used for the preparation are given to the officer at his doorstep free of cost. I don't think any company can afford for such an arrangement to its employees.

5. Awesome Foreign Assignments.

The MNCs have a way of tempting their workers to work more with the prize tag of a foreign assignment. The poor souls slough their a** so much only to get an assignment to work in a foreign country for a few months. For a few lucky, maybe a year or so. Whereas in the armed forces we send Officers with diplomatic visas to Foreign Countries as Defence Attaches in the Embassy as a peace posting. We give them an opportunity to actually chill out.

Our officers even go to do Masters in Reputed Defence Colleges. The Navy sends every year a handful of Officers to the Royal War College, London, US Marine Staff College, etc. The kind of facilities and luxury these officers receive in those countries are unmatched.

6. Scope for Higher Education.

If you are a studious person, the this is the place for you to be. By the time you retire in the normal course of your career in the navy, you end up doing 2 masters (M.Sc) degree, 1 M.Phil, 1 MBA and 1 Ph.D (Optional) in your life. Can you name a company in the world which gives so much paid leave and pays its employee to pursue this quantum of studies?

Technical Officers have the opportunity to pursue M.Tech from IIT Delhi, Chennai and Mumbai in their course of their career in the seats which are reserved for Armed Forces.

7. Respect Wherever You Go.

You might wonder why I have put this point as No. 7 because in the present world not many people care a shit about it. But actually speaking the respect you will command from your soldiers, subordinates, the society and even your family is something you will never be able to get in any profession. 100% of the time you will (even if you don't wish to) end up being a role model to your children.

8. First Priority Physical Fitness.

Today no one thinks before joining a company in these lines "whether the job will allow me to be fit, play a sport, do some physical exercises or indulge for some fun time in physical activity/adventure activity. But job in the armed forces is all about what I have mentioned in the previous line. Your physical fitness is paramount to us. You can assure yourself a healthier lifestyle in this place.

9. Great Post Retirement Options.

On retirement, apart from the handsome amount that you will receive, you will get a pension throughout your life.

Hello Friends,

In my point of view, Indian army is the one of the best career options. As an Indian citizen, it is alike a golden chance to work as an army on the border for protecting our nation. I know Indian army is the toughest job but an army is a real hero of our nation. They are struggling at the border to make our nation too protective from other anti-social element. Indian Army sacrifices their family, friend, they also miss festivals. But they don't think about it. Primary job for him to protect our nation. So joining army is not just a job, army gives us a respect as well as good pay and perks.

In family also three members are in army. I also proud to him. I want to be a part of this job if I got a chance. It will be honors for me.

We should join this job because of there are many aspects like.

1. Wearing a uniform and serving the nation gives pride and honor.
2. You have an opportunity to serve your motherland.
3. If you are die in war you have honor and your family is protected by government.
4. You can improve your personality in the army. The army men are confident and know how to deal with any problem.

JAI HIND JAI BHARAT.

Thanks.

Hello, friends.

For me, Indian army is my aim, desire, dream, determination and a lot thing which was uncountable. I live in a small city nd maximum people are unaware about this city actually, I read in 12th standard nd after completing my graduation I definitely want to join Indian army. I know majority people here think that it is not a good option to join Indian army especially for girls but I want to prove them who choose it best career to taunt other and interfere in other life that a girl also became an Indian soldier with her great effort. Being honest my inspiration is "Divya Ajith" a brave Chennai officer and "Sunil Choudhary" who is always alive in our heart. Sunil Choudhary also my idol. I prepare myself in that 4 years so that I became able for joining Indian army.

- I try to continue until and unless I became a perfect Indian officer as like these two brave officer.

- Serve your country whole heartily. Feel proud to be an Indian.

Jai Bharat Jai Hind.

VANDA MATARAM.

I am in favour of this topic and I salute the men and women of our gallant armed forces who have laid down their lives to save ours, with great pride as an Indian.

Indian army is protecting our nation, but many corruption are produced in an army.

Example HELICOPTER corruption.

India lots of money spend for the army.

Everyone says many things about our Indian army and about our mother land but I don't want to say anything but telling definitely that if I had a son I will train him from childhood to select for our Indian army and resemble my love by him to serve our nation.

MERA BHARATH MAHAN.

JAI HIND.

I thing we do not say that army is not a career option because army is a server of the nation. About say that army is save the Indian people of enemy contrary. So join an army for a brave person, and love a country.

In my opinion, INDIAN ARMY is not just a job it is a lifestyle if we think that we want to join a job guys sorry to say but this place is not for you because it wants passion, ambition, love for the motherland selflessly. I would say in the whole world this the place only where there is not height to do anything and to get the higher height in the ideal life.

Because it is all about the ethics and values they want the true comradeship and you will think that you will do the job there you cannot (sorry). On the other hand that you think that you want to do something like unforgettable in life this is the best place there are lots of works and thinks to remember but I always prefer this only.

Nobody works for the Indian army, they serve to our country. I want to join it because the skills and fitness I am having is very accurate to serve for my mother Land more directly. I spent my childhood playing in the arm of hers now it is the time to hold that arm and serve her.

Indian Army is like a mother does work selflessly and never asks for anything in return and Indian army soldiers are real heroes. So join Indian army and serve for our nation and become a real hero.
