This is Army · When a cold and shivering jawan gets you a cup of hot tea on a patrol break at 13,000 feet. · When your sixth sense tells you there is something wrong with a guy at 50 meters. · When you meet with an accident and the first thing you check is the serviceability of your legs. · When you speak the language of your boys. · When you sit from dusk to dawn in an ambush on Valentine’s Day, you know army is giving you the red rose. · When you are a master at pump stove, lanterns, solar lights, bukharis and travelling in trains without reservations. · When you know more about cramps and cold injuries than your average doctor. · When a girl in the pub is indicated by clock-ray method. · When only your sahayak can dig out the thing you want from your rucksack. · When your pain submits to your will. · When you find it funny when your relative says he’s going on a holiday to a hill station. · When your profession is a matter of discussion during marriage proposals. · When you do not believe in ghosts but do believe in Peer Baba and other high altitude babas. · When you know the real meaning of camouflage, in field, in parties, in unit routine and in your own house. · When you can live, anywhere, with anybody, on anything that nature can offer. · When you know this LMG will be re-sited by everybody up the ladder, till it comes back to where you had sited it initially. · When somebody asks, “Do you play Golf?” and you look at the brass on your shoulder and say “Not yet!” · When you are the biggest consumer of foot powder, DMP oil, water sterilization kit, ORS packets and Meals Ready to Eat. · When you gave it all that you have got, and then some more. · When you are the only one to get trained in bayonet fighting. And expect it to happen. · When your girlfriend thinks you are Rambo, Commando, Gladiator and Braveheart, all rolled into one. Your Commanding Officer, by the way, thinks you are none. · When the Politician and the Bureaucrat state, what is so special about the ARMY, without realizing that an Army-man can do their job, better then them, but they cannot do an Army-mans job and it is the the same Army-man who bails them out whenever they fail · When you get lost in a multiplex with signboards but are at ease in a jungle with a compass. · When you can die for, what you have lived for. Thats the great INDIAN ARMY.....People call it ARMY, We call it LIFE. CHEERS................
