I'm sure you know what that means?<br /><br />No? Wow! Okay, let me tell you.<br /><br />The media pays some people, just a handful, like your unworthy blogger (whose blog I note that you visit, notwithstanding your contempt), for their opinions in print.<br /><br />I'm sure you too can make big money this way. Why don't you go and talk to some editors? I'll be happy to introduce you.

With the exception of Why must the COAS or CONS OR COAFS knock on Defence Secretary's door. <br /><br />Chiefs must unite to take advantage of the PMs hard task master attitude towards Bureaucrats. <br /><br />If the Def Sec acts funny all, service chiefs in Unanimity must escalate with the Def Min. The Chiefs today are almost a Media celebrity power house.<br /><br />If the Govt tries to remove one of them the other two must threaten resignation. Such a news will not be something that the newly elected government would be able to afford. <br /> <br />Dismissal of three service chiefs is something no govt today can afford. As a result , what the govt will be able to afford is to make the Def Sec and MOD Babus a scapegoat and a whipping boy (much to the benefit of the national security). <br /><br />Its basic primary school tactics.Jean Luc Picardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07523465808756925391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-59186704778319215562014-08-05T21:15:42.811-07:002014-08-05T21:15:42.811-07:00Jerry says....
Well the Chief needs to focus on - ...Jerry says....<br />Well the Chief needs to focus on - 1. Discipline of Serving. As of now the state is such that if a senior is not within the ambit of concern then he does not even get saluted.<br />2. ACR driven officers. Why dont we do away with parochial system of appraisals. Assess all on daily work and compile the summarised output to identify the deserving and genuine promotes. Enough of roses & wine trends.<br />3. Fight for fair share of budget to Army and do not compromise the Ist class status of profession with respect to pay commissions.<br />4. Either indegenize or shut DRDO. Enough of poodle faking.<br />5. Terminate the AWWA activities. Let the same concept be run by Ex-servicemen NGO body.<br />6. Gifts, five-star cultures, theme parties and wedding like raising day celebrations- be closed. <br />7. Increase foreign postings, exposures and courses to maximum countries. Enough of carrying on with Englishised Army.<br />8. Train, train and train Indian Army so much that they become highly professional - maximum on ground and minimum in class or office should be the dictum to ensure. <br />9. Provide incentive to soldiering instead of biased acquaintances <br />only.<br />10. Punish corrupt to make specimen to the hilt.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-49701420707602615902014-08-05T09:23:32.215-07:002014-08-05T09:23:32.215-07:00Gen Suhag must stop all bhaiyas from doing free o...Gen Suhag must stop all bhaiyas from doing free of cost service at peace stations.this will give the army the much needed manpowerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-30412647400497922902014-08-05T02:57:48.251-07:002014-08-05T02:57:48.251-07:00P1: End the 'Sahayak' culture

Its seems either they are into splurging and enjoying cozy life more. Even most defense officers look lacking basic fitness, and looks more unhappy. Such faces cant be motivators. Wish this new chief gives a directive to immediate subordinates and colleauges to get back in shape ... fast, which they had quit after their NDA days.
