Journey From Civilian To Soldier

A Soldier's Life is not that different from the life we lead now but whenever his country needs him in a situation of war he diligently stands like a rock against enemies which creates a difference between civilian and soldier. They sleep in a regular bed. They shop, worship, maintain & live their daily lives pretty much as we do now. There are vets to take care of pets, grocery stores, dry cleaners, etc. They name it and it probably exists on or near their post, no matter where they are. Sure the names of places have changed, but the game really hasn't. In fact, there are a number of things that might actually be better.
           One advantage of Army daily life versus civilian life is the community that forms around their everyday life. Military life encourages families to support one another, and one of the most valuable assets a family can have when adjusting to change is the network of families who have undergone exactly the same thing. In short, Army makes a normal man to gentleman. Any individual joins army through the below procedure. If a person has a desire to devote and to risk his life for the sake of his countrymen & who possesses all profile qualities of an Army officer can join Army. Its about discipline, and its about sacrifice. Firstly, a common man applies for joining Army through AS&RC(Army Selection & Recruitment Centre) & undergoes intelligence tests, Physical & medical assessments and an interview by Army personnel. Secondly, after qualifying them, he will be called to ISSB(Inter Services Selection Board) where he remain there for 3 days. His mentality, planning ability, courageousness, determination, strength, honesty & personality is tested. If he is recommended by the board it will become a successful part that ever happened in his entire life as he's going to become a commissioned officer. Its not easy enough to join Army, the one who is tough can only do this job. There is no profession & even passion better than army.

  1. Nice one (Y) you've written about soldier's life and their induction process. I think it is first ever discussed on a youth platform 'cause a lot of young people think that Army is only about tough life, as you've shown distinct point of view that they also a lead a peaceful and happy life, even more luxurious than civilians.. :) And have ya talked about Pakistan Army? 'cause you've talked about ISSB process :P
