Being the part of army gives you many big responsibilities with discipline nurtured in you. Army pushes you notch by notch to bring out the best within you.
Indian Army also have a great war experience. It always sets an example in front of the country by its kind nature as well as the first to react in need of any kind of situation. It is said that where sun rays cannot reach there goes the poet but if anyone is to with my opinion then the place where poet fails to go are conquered by Indian Army.
In the Kargil war Indian Army has the example that officers in Indian Army leads from front, they do not order there troops from behind which makes it special in anyway. Many of the officers like Capt. Vikram Batra (13 JAK rif.), capt. Manoj Pandey (1/11 Gurkha Rif.) capt. Vijayant Thapar (Rajputana Rif.) and many more has done an extra ordinary deed which is unforgettable no matter how far the history goes.
To be concluded join the Indian Army and ‘live a life less ordinary’.

Since the time of its formation IAF has engafed in a lot of exercises and given its constructive contribution in wars and operations like WW ll , indo pak war , operation vijay , operation meghdoot , op cactus and many more. What makes it special is the systematic organisation of IAF into wings , squadrons and commands where specialisation of work can be seen.
