Join the army for the country, not for the salary… Army Chief told that his/her dream was to become a submarine or fighter pilot.

New Delhi: Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi said that if I had not been in the Army, I would have either been a submariner in the Navy or a fighter pilot in the Air Force. Speaking to NBT readers in the NBT Samvad program, General Dwivedi said that the current Air Force Chief is my coursemate and he/she has promised me that the next time he/she flies the Indian-made LAC Tejas, I will also fly with him/her.Remembered Eastern CDS Vipin Rawat
General Dwivedi said that our first CDS General Bipin Rawat used to say – ‘Make your mark with silence, the winds will automatically sing your tune’. Meaning work hard, set goals, do good work for people, take the team along. You will get fame or recognition yourself. he/she said that I have only one message to everyone that whatever you want to do in life, start preparing for it from today and get busy. If you want to join the army, then army is a good medium through which you can achieve your aspirations and adventure. But if you want to join the army then you should come for the country and not for the salary.

What did the Chief write in the letter?
The Army Chief said that our teachers took care of us more than their families and always told us that son, no matter how big you become, always stay on the ground. Whenever any soldier of my unit comes, even if other officers are standing, he/she comes and sits directly in front because whatever I am today is because of my unit. This unit has worked shoulder to shoulder with me, supported each other in every difficulty. he/she said that no matter how high a position I achieve, my soldier will always be close to me.

he/she told that I had written a letter to all the Major Generals. I wrote three tests in it – Mama Test, Baba Test and Jawan Test. Mama test and Baba test are written in Shiv Kheda’s book ‘You Can Win’. I have added the third jawan test in it. Whatever you do in life, your mother, your children and your youth are always ready to sacrifice their lives for you. All three said that yes… that is why they will always remain connected to the ground.
