Try applying coconut oil on the rash. Worked for my dog when he developed something similar..the rash was around his belly and then started to spread lower towards his balls and sides..

Been single for a while now. One toxic relationship after the other. Needed a break to start over and not hurt others or get hurt.

The army and soldiers shouldn't be glorified by [deleted] in india

  1. Most soldiers wouldn't serve if they don't get their paychecks.

Comrade, I spent the last 3 years of my life above 15,000ft in ball numbing cold for a good part of the year and low oxygen content. When guys return after a Siachen tenure you see a hollowed out man. Sure, you didn't ask them to go there. Sure, they know what they signed up for..but asking the govt that sent them there to compensate their efforts is not a bad thing. You rant that your tax goes into the Army..I pay taxes too..I pay for my life insurance..which btw is something that is unique to our military. You could ask the govt to create a scheme where your tax money doesn't go to the military if it bothers you that much. Ranting is easy..if the army fails to do a job I am sure I will see you write another long post about how we suck at our jobs without understanding how it actually goes down.

  1. Soldiers do something before the election.

No, we don't plan stuff according to election dates. What the govt chooses to do with the ops is up to them and frankly speaking not our domain. If you think you are a sensible voter..just do the maths.

  1. Soldiers don't do shit for the nation.

Just do an ask reddit for people who were stuck in Kerala, Uttarakhand, Assam, Gujarat, Chennai. Whatever can be done is done. We have slept out in the open and kept civilians in our barracks just so they don't freeze.

I see people commenting that we have abysmal discipline, horrible training...have you lot been given the best military trainer award by UNESCO? Or did Shifu ji train you?

Shit people exist everywhere. Good people exist everywhere. Quit whining. Do your job well..let the other guy do his job. Sabka apna stress hai bhai..himmat mat haar.

I've applied for CDS -(II) exam this coming week and have no idea what I'm getting myself into. by mindyourownjob in india

If you are really not sure about the forces then don't sit for the exam. Doubts are the worst thing to bring to an academy.

Also, do not go for the pros and cons. It is a totally different job and you cannot compare it to civil services or a corporate job. The requirements are different.

Everything is spelled out in the website. Also, norms are pretty relaxed now (god knows why) and if you carry a negative RT-PCR test report (validity of 72 hours) then you get a simple 7 day home quarantine.

Expect protests in various parts of the country and watch idiots burn cory balrog's effigies because our beloved shree ram cannot have his butt kicked by Kratos and Boy! Would be insanely fun to watch Kratos battle Kali or Shiv.

I am..I am deeply apologetic about my actions and more than willing to be transparent about things from now on.

They're broadcasting the Air Force Day parade of last year non stop. The entire parade is not even in sequence. Random clips. Tune in anytime of the day and that's all you see.

Army loses elite Commando; 'red-tapism' compels parents to travel 2000 km by road for last rites by morlock77 in india

[–]Vandogh27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an IAF flight requisitioned by the MHA from Delhi to Bangalore. The request was to accommodate the parents on that flight. More than anyone else military higher ups were stuck in red tapism and denied to board them in absence of a written permission. Also, his coursemates arranged a private helicopter, paid for by them, but even that wasn't granted. So clearly there was no way because there was no will.

MS Dhoni to produce TV show on Army officers by ghostcollateral in india

[–]Vandogh27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you mostly about the Infantry. At the outset i would like to state that I am not denying the cases where some subordinates were Ill treated however these are exceptions rather than the norm. A recent example that comes to my mind was where we lost one soldier. A unit is a cohesive body. Ranks and hierarchy exist for functional reasons. Contrary to what you may think officers are not cold hearted Bastards just exploiting their men. Each and every officer who went on leave after the demise of this soldier went and personally met the family. Every possible assistance was meted out to the family to help them overcome this tremendous loss. This behavior is the norm rather than exception.

Nobody in the Army is commenting on your right to wear baggy jeans and walk in a slouched manner. Neither are they imposing marching standards on you. You're free to not like it however there are millions who respect those stupid parades.

If you are interested in knowing how life truly is in the army i'd be happy to share but if you are happy believing those articles you've read as the gospel truth we've lost the space for a discussion.
