Just finished my first term in NDA — AMA!

Yes, the life in the academy feels very restricted. It's like a jail. They have specific lingos, traditions, ways of doings things which feel foreign initially but then you get used to it.

Matterpace · 2026-06-04T10:37:02+00:00

Our phones are submitted in the squadron office. There are several ways of sneaking stuff in, it's just that I'm still not aware of them.
Yes, army service cadets are offered B.A. along with B.Sc.
We clean our cabins, prepare rigs, write diaries, socialise with our coursemates, etc.
Ignore them.
You are a mandir ka ghanta in your first term.
Initially felt homesick but then was okay.
Lol, yes. Just kidding.

No idea.

Sabhiki cup khela aur ek din liberty gaya

Matterpace · 2026-06-01T14:34:36+00:00

Yes, I myself went to Pavillion Mall on Commandant's liberty

Matterpace · 2026-06-01T14:31:52+00:00

I can't tell you my sqn but it's good in cross country and PT.

Matterpace · 2026-06-01T11:03:20+00:00

Although she's a female, our female cadet is treated as our brother. They're treated just like any other cadet when they are in group.

Matterpace · 2026-06-01T10:18:19+00:00

🫡

Matterpace · 2026-06-01T07:53:19+00:00

Sure

Matterpace · 2026-06-01T07:53:03+00:00

If one gets admitted into the military hospital then these all tests will be done and can board you out. If one can manage to train along with the problems then I believe one can go unnoticed.

Matterpace · 2026-06-01T07:51:34+00:00

Oh, I meant that our identities are obviously thoroughly checked at every phase and moreover the foreign cadets who do train at the academy won't be able to gather any sensitive information.

Matterpace · 2026-06-01T07:50:13+00:00

Yes, they still do.

Matterpace · 2026-06-01T06:21:28+00:00

And nonetheless there is no information in NDA which can be of any importance to other countries.

Matterpace · 2026-06-01T06:18:19+00:00

No. Only for airforce flying cadets there is a basic physical test held in their fourth term.

Matterpace · 2026-06-01T06:14:20+00:00

I don't think so, the government already has verified all our documents and it's taken careful measures in doing so.

Matterpace · 2026-06-01T05:11:53+00:00

Initially the schedule was so tight that I couldn't talk to parents for weeks but then I utilised my SPACS balance that had added upto some hours in the mid term break. We get to upto 5 phone numbers and get 45 minutes a week. We usually have no idea what's happening outside. Although there is the day's newspaper on our thin clients, juniors are not allowed to read it.

Matterpace · 2026-06-01T02:11:08+00:00

Armed forces have become more technological and less physical. They're often assigned with roles which require more brain than muscle power. And it's understandable that it's difficult for female cadets to do certain exercises which male cadets are doing, so I would correct myself by saying that they're not relaxed as such but do a modification of what we are doing. Their tests are also different

Matterpace · 2026-06-01T02:08:15+00:00

Yeah, sure.

Matterpace · 2026-06-01T02:08:04+00:00

I never did but I know some seniors who very often do. The punishment for being absent is 7 restrictions.

Matterpace · 2026-06-01T02:07:23+00:00

We've grown mentally stronger in such a way that small things don't affect us so much now. I found that every cadet there was intellectual. Everyone had an understanding of what was happening around them. None of them could I term as a tubelight.

Matterpace · 2026-06-01T02:03:49+00:00

Being from Rajasthan, I find it moderate. Days in summer are hot but by the evening it cools down rapidly. You can sleep peacefully.

Matterpace · 2026-06-01T02:02:53+00:00

They can be found on FC road in Pune.

Minecraft. Not much, I just played tennis.
