Same physical issue here: knock knee this time

Infact in a 15mt eng exam for IAF, I had completed the test in like 2-3 mts. I was the topper in all tests till physical

Well I did join NCC and also had a15 day army attachment camp where we were deployed with 2nd Madras light infantry for 15 days, that was in 2001

Those were the best 15 days in my life.(I even got my first GF after that)

The CO there said that they have our names and addresses and if required they can activate us, give us like 3 months training and put us on active duty in case of the Parliament feeling the need. Though I am not sure about myself
considering my knock knee.

[eagle_y2j]

[eminemence]

Wanted to go to the IAF.
Cleared the NDA written test,but failed the PBT/ABT, whatever its called.
In our batch only one guy was selected for IAF. In the medical they even diagnosed a heart problem for a guy and failed him.

I did not join the armed forces because I don't see any future for me. Neither is there an incentive strong enough. I tend to be practical, which is why a false sense of nationalism that we Indians term 'patriotism' doesn't work for me. I realised ages back that I'd serve my nation better if I help Indians get a better life than joining the army which will never let my skills develop. India doesn't have a top notch military force and joining the army as a cadet isn't going to help any more in this age of strategic nuclear technology and highly specialised military forces - two fields where India hardly stands out.

Punjab-Haryana-Delhi belt. I am not sure, but I think it is, especially as the reference to a geographic 'belt'.
