The situation is worse than you'd imagine...Sir,<br />The situation is worse than you'd imagine. And your writing suggests you're not really keen on knowing. I'm a 3rd generation officers - both my father & grandfather retired from Flag Ranks.<br />The army is in a pitiable state. Our senior officers are primarily interested in their privileges and are totally out of touch with reality.<br />Sorry to burst you well-brassoed bubble, sir.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971909162132256912.post-18195370982898676982014-03-28T20:02:46.602+05:302014-03-28T20:02:46.602+05:30Well argued repartee.

His pitch for F 35 was bizzarre.Indeed our dhoti clad RM (yes I am abigot) would be chuckling at so many ready to do the mudslinging.

Comments made by Col Ajai Shukla (retd ...Dear Sir,<br /> Comments made by Col Ajai Shukla (retd ) is like washing dirty linen in open, the fact is apart from this organization being crafted with elegance and prospective, people growing are in best to stab it with wounds which will never be forgotten, two cases of officers posted at NE area have brought fear to the minds of serving personnel's, one a officer in love with a Sri-Lankan girl has been denied of the permission to get married and facing C of I on the pretext that how he came in contact with a foreign national ( nobody had the guts to ask President K R Naryanan how did he married a girl from Myanmar ) the officer himself brought this to the notice of authorities, ( it hardly matters for the Army what court has decided on it ) A Col of 21 AR was beaten and kicked in a market where the place is subjected to CI and it took three months for the Corp Cdr to ask the CM of state to take action,after the video on you tube had a viewership of 12000, the video was removed but again someone has posted it with intentions known to the individual http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_9aY9E2VEI asking for mercy and begging, how this has routed to our veins need a serious introspection, the amount of unethical tasking of young officers & jawans without looking into their welfare ( the problems each one of us face in civil domain specially the rural areas ) Army officers writing letters to civil authorities the requests are rejected with the suitability and usage of the paper finding their way in dustbins, what has anyone done, it all happening is bad, do you feel secure serving, cross your heart, you get a slap in market for unknown or known reasons what are you supposed to do, try doing it to any guy in any other organization. I love Army but I would never like my kids to, pays do have increased but the dis-contentment is growing at an alarming rate, do something apart from Sadbhavna.<br />God help Us Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971909162132256912.post-2531975489005039862012-11-16T22:42:26.249+05:302012-11-16T22:42:26.249+05:30Dear Sir,
On the outset, i would like to inform ...Dear Sir, <br /><br />On the outset, i would like to inform you that I feel more than proud of the fact that there exist our 'pops' who still display endless faith towards this wonderful organisation of ours.<br /><br />It is accepted that the article by Col Ajai Shulka is not in good taste. But sir, at time awful tasting stuff is a reality. Nowhere has he said that the chief must live in a condition not befitting his status. He actually is making a valid point that the Army must get pers (including civ labour, conservancy etc) like addl stewards,cooks etc authorised and post them to the Army house instead of getting hordes of them 'Attached but not authorised' ? <br /><br />Sir, the army you saw (maybe) and the Army i see are nowhere similar. Pl tell me which in army does a young offr back from a 3 month long LRP denied a guest room for 4 days (as 15 of the guest rooms are vacant and on 'standby' for 10 col rank offrs on a visit who are already staying in a hotel!!!! ) After 'Begging' for the same and to no avail, the YO was invited by another officer who neither knew him, nor was anywhere related to him to stay at his married accomodation. Any yes sir, all the officers who were begged 'to' incl a very sr offr are your 'General' material.Sadly this is one of the cheesiest instances i have quoted. i assure you that any further examples will surely dampen your 'Fauji' spirit and you will be in dis belief for ever. <br /><br />I know sir, that mud slinging in the public is not good and neither do i want to do so. But of the 10yrs in the Army i have been, there are more than a few hundred such 'general' material i hav served with incl few 'generals' themselves. <br /><br />I do not say that the organisation is hollow, but yes sir the leadership is surely 'Hollower that the Hollowest military soul'. I am proud of this organization and will ever be so, but not of the many men whom I served under or along with (except a few like the officer who sheltered the YO). <br /><br />Sir, i am sure you are awed by the parks, gardens and other such institutions created for WELFARE in Army cantts. Plz do make sure to find, an entire battalion incl the CO cleaning, pruning and cutting the grass instead of doing PT/trg. It is not just one off day, it is more regular than the trg activities. But you would never see such a sight in an Airforce/Naval station as they are done only conservancy staff/NCs. The AF & Navy know to stretch themselves only as long the bed is. But for us in the Army (with 1.3 million free un audited labour)without any control of our brains, we keep creating assets as per the fancies of 'Gen Sahabs and Memsahabs'.<br /><br />As a departing note sir, it is sad, but yes Col Shukla is TO THE POINT. and true, but yes things should not have come out in the open, but where-else? not surely within the walled Army. <br /><br />God bless us..
