CAREER ADVICE – LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP
Story of a Boy who wanted to “Appear to be a Naval Officer”
A Spoof
By
VIKRAM KARVE

PROLOGUE

There is a difference between being a “fauji” and to appear to be a “fauji”.

I am sure the same holds true for civilian professions as well.

Here is the story of one such officer who wanted to “appear to be a Naval Officer” – rather than – “be a true Naval Officer”

STORY OF A BOY WHO WANTED TO “APPEAR TO BE A NAVAL OFFICER”

Long back – around 30 years ago – a young boy – accompanied by his parents came to see me at my home in Pune where I was spending my annual leave.

The boy – 15 years old – was studying in the 11^th Standard (Class).

He wanted to join the Navy.

His parents – who lived nearby – were from a business background.

I talked to the boy.

I talked to his parents.

Then – from what I had learnt the hard way from my own experience – I advised the boy not to join the Navy.

His parents were angry with me – and they said: “Why are you saying so? Is our son not fit to join the Navy? Our son is very good – look at his personality, his physical fitness, his intelligence, his smartness. Don’t you feel that our son has the aptitude to be selected for the Navy?”

“Of course – he has the APTITUDE...” I commented, “but – does he have the right ATTITUDE...?”

At first – the boy and his parents seemed confused at what I had said.

Then – the parents looked at me angrily – and it seemed that they were getting upset.

Before the parents could react – I said:

“Well – I feel that your son does not have the appropriate attitude for the Navy...”

I saw that the furious parents now felt that I was demeaning their son.

They were in no mood to listen to any further explanations – so I kept quiet.

Their ego was hurt.

I could see that now the boy was even more determined than ever to join the Navy just to prove me wrong – as if it were a prestige issue.

The boy cleared the UPSC Exam.

Then – he sailed through the SSB.

Of course – in the Services Selection Boards (SSBs) – they assess “aptitude” – but I wonder if they evaluate “attitude”.

In due course – the smart young boy joined the academy as a cadet for basic training.

I lost track of the boy as I was busy with my own Navy career.

10 years later – the same boy – looking smart in his spotless white uniform of a Navy Lieutenant – was sitting in my office in Mumbai.

He had come to ask me a favour.

He desperately wanted to get out of the Navy.

And – he was wondering – if I could help him out to get out of the Navy

“But why do you want to quit the Navy...?” I asked him with surprise, “You are just beginning your career in the Navy – and you have such a bright future ahead.”

“I just don’t like it over here – I just can’t tolerate my life being controlled all the time – the bloody rules, regulations – and all the bullshit – I can’t stand it anymore,” he complained bitterly.

“So – you don’t like the regimentation – the Navy way of life...?” I asked.

“Yes. I remember what you said 10 years ago when we had come over to your place in Pune. You said that I did not have the right attitude for the Navy. You were right. I should have listened to you...” he said, quite contrite.

Of course – then he went on to list many reasons why he wanted to quit – family pressures (his father was not keeping well and wanted him to look after their family business) – a matrimonial alliance (the girl did not want to marry a defence officer) – and so many other reasons.

But – the crux of the issue was the Attitudinal Mismatch problem.

I frankly told him that it would be very difficult for him to leave the Navy since he was a permanent commission cadet entry officer.

I advised him that now that he had joined the Navy – it was best for him to continue serving in the Navy – as he had a bright career ahead.

But – I saw that the young Lieutenant sitting in front of me was in no mood to listen to my platitudinous advice.

He had not listened to my advice when I told him not to join the Navy.

Now – again – he did not listen to me when I told him to continue serving in the navy.

I politely told him that I could not help him out in this matter – and that it was best he continue in the Navy at least till he completed 20 years pensionable service.

But – the young Lieutenant was adamant on quitting the navy.

He kept submitting his resignation again and again – giving different pretexts each time – and – he made his own life miserable – and – he made everyone else’s life miserable too.

Later – I learnt that his perseverance to quit the Navy had paid off.

He had finally managed to get out of the Navy after a struggle of nearly 3 years – relentlessly pushing his papers – pulling strings – using connections – begging and pleading his case.

13 years of his productive life were wasted – both to him and to the Navy – and finally – he left the Navy with a feeling of bitterness.

MORAL OF THE STORY

During my long Navy career I have seen many such cases of officers who realised that they were misfits in the Navy – and – sadly – they wasted many frustrated years of their lives in misery trying to get out of the Navy.

I am sure you will find similar examples in other professions as well – but – in the civilian world – it is easy to quit your job – and change over to something else.

That is why – before you take up a career – especially a military career – make sure you have the right attitude suitable for that career – LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP.

EPILOGUE

“MILITARY” CAREER IN A NUTSHELL

Many youngsters keep asking me about life and career prospects in the Armed Forces (Defence Services) – Army, Navy and Air Force.

So – here are the salient aspects of a Military Career in a Nutshell.

12 UNIQUE ATTRIBUTES OF A MILITARY CAREER IN THE DEFENCE FORCES
Tips from a Military Veteran
By
VIKRAM KARVE

(The generic term “MILITARY” includes all the three Armed Forces – Army, Navy and Air Force)

A career in the Defence Services or Armed Forces like the Army, Navy and Air Force is different from most other civilian careers.

The unique attributes of a military career entail a distinctive “way of life” that makes a career in the Armed Forces totally different as compared to a career in the civilian world.

Many young persons join the defence services without fully understanding the unique aspects of a Military career and then they feel out of place, mismatched, frustrated and regretful.

During my long Naval career I have seen so many officers who realised that they were misfits in the navy and wasted many frustrated years of their lives in misery trying to get out of the navy.

Please do not let that happen to you.

Do join the Army, Navy and Air Force – but do so with due diligence – with your eyes open and with full awareness.

It may prove foolhardy to join on a sudden impulse or in a wave of jingoism.

You must be realistic about choosing your career – whether in the Defence Services or elsewhere – because your career is probably the most important part of your life.

If you have the right attitude and compatible mindset – then a Military career is very satisfying and fulfilling.

But if your attitude in not in sync with the military way of life – then you may get frustrated and your life may become miserable.

That is why – before you join the defence services – make sure you have the right attitude suitable for a career in the armed forces.

“MILITARY” LIFE IN A NUTSHELL

To put “Military” Life in a nutshell – here is a list of 12 Unique Attributes that characterize a Military Career in the Armed Forces (Army Navy or Air Force):

1. HOLISTIC ORIENTATION

2. LIFETIME EMPLOYMENT

3. REGIMENTATION

4. TOUGH DANGEROUS CHALLENGING WORK

5. MODERATE COMPENSATION PACKAGE

6. MODEST CAREER PROSPECTS

7. NON-SPECIALISED CAREER PATH

8. CONFORMIST ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE

9. RIGID RANK BASED HIERARCHICAL STRUCTURE

10. INFLEXIBLE HR POLICIES

11. UNSTABLE NOMADIC FAMILY LIFE

12. EARLY RETIREMENT AGE

If you planning to join the Armed Forces you must ask yourself whether you have the right attitude and compatible mindset to match all these 12 military attributes.

I am sure you understand each of the 12 points mentioned above which are self-explanatory – but – nevertheless – I shall try and elaborate on each point later in my blog.

In fact – I have already written articles/stories based on most of the above 12 attributes.

Also – it is always a good idea to talk to young officers of your age group to get a first-hand view of life in the respective Defence Service – as serving officers will be more updated and current in this matter.

Remember the Story of the Boy who wanted to “Appear to be a Naval Officer” – and – ask yourself:

Do you want to be a “fauji” – or – do you want to appear to be a “fauji”...?

All the Best.

VIJAY DIWAS - A Story

VIJAY DIWAS

A Story

VIKRAM KARVE

16 December.

Vijay Diwas.

Victory Day.

[Vijay Diwas (Victory Day) is commemorated every 16 December in India to mark India’s Military Victory over Pakistan in 1971 during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971]

On December 16, Vijay Diwas, there was a big celebration in the school – like every year.

Everyone, teachers and students, were enthused with patriotic spirit.

Jingoism was in the air.

Students sung patriotic songs.

The School Principal spoke about the significance of “Vijay Diwas”.

The Chief Guest, the newly appointed School Superintendent, gave a rousing speech about the bravery of our soldiers.

After the function, the School Superintendent had a cup of tea with the Teachers.

“You told me that there were 18 teachers in your school, but I can see that only 17 present,” the School Superintendent asked the Principal.

“Mohini Madam is absent,” the Principal said.

“Most unpatriotic of her to be absent on Vijay Diwas – you ask her for an explanation and forward it to me,” the School Superintendent told the Principal.

“Sir – actually Mohini Madam is a war widow – her husband was a soldier in the army – he was martyred in the 1971 war – he died fighting on the last day of the war – he was killed on 16 Dec 1971 – just before ‘cease fire’ …” the Principal said.

“Oh – I’m sorry to hear that,” the School Superintendent said.

“Sir – not only that – she was newly married – just 21 years old – and pregnant – when her husband laid down his life for the nation in the 1971 war. Though widowed at such an early age, she did not remarry, but brought up her son. Then her son joined the army as an officer – and he was killed while fighting terrorists in his very first year in the army. Now Mohini Madam is all alone – she is 64 and will be retiring next year…”

Humor in Uniform - DOCTOR IN UNIFORM

HUMOR IN UNIFORM

DOCTOR IN UNIFORM
Humor in the Army Medical Corps (AMC)

A Yarn

VIKRAM KARVE

A fellow naval officer once took his 3 year old daughter to the IAT Pune MI Room.

(MI Room stands for Medical Inspection Room – that’s what they call a medical clinic in the Army and Air Force. In the Navy, an “MI Room” is called a “Sick Bay”).

Those days there was a lady doctor, a Major of the AMC, posted in IAT Pune as Medical Officer.

The officer’s small daughter had severe loose motions (diarrhoea).

The moment he entered the lady doctor’s office, the lady doctor looked up at my friend's face and shouted at him: “Why are you coming here and disturbing me? How many days SIQ (Sick in Quarters) do you want? Just go to the office, tell the attendant whatever SIQ you want, and take the SIQ slip from there.”

The stunned naval officer told the lady army medical officer: “Nothing is wrong with me. I don’t want SIQ.”

“Then why have you come here to the MI Room?” the “fauji” lady doctor asked him.

The naval officer pointed to his 3 year old daughter and said, “My daughter has got loose motions.”

The lady army medical officer looked down from the officer’s face to his tiny daughter holding his hand and standing below him.

Suddenly, the lady medical officer got excited and said, “Loose motions can be very serious – especially in children. You must take her to the Military Hospital (MH) immediately. I will call the ambulance and fill up her hospital admission form. You rush and take her to the Military Hospital Khadakvasla - or better still you take her to Command Hospital Pune - there will be some child specialists over there.”

Later, at a party, the “fauji” lady doctor tried to rationalize her actions: “You see, most of the army officers here have come to IAT for a training course after a hectic field posting. They want to relax over here with their families and enjoy this peace tenure. So they mostly come to the MI Room for SIQ chits.”

We nicknamed the “Fauji” Doctor in Uniform as: “SIQ Medical Officer”

GENUINE SOLDIERS and PSEUDO “FAUJIS”

GENUINE “FAUJIS” and PSEUDO “FAUJIS”

Musings of a Veteran

VIKRAM KARVE

Before you join the Defence Services you need to ask yourself:

Do you want to be a “fauji” ?

Or do you want to appear to be a “fauji” ?

There are lots of people who just want to appear to be “faujis” – showing off in their uniforms and trying to project a macho image.

Genuine “faujis” don’t indulge in all this blatant showmanship – they never flaunt their military rank – they don’t try to make an impression showing off their military credentials.

True “faujis” keep a low profile – they just focus on “soldiering”

So every individual who wants to join the armed forces (army, navy, air force) must ask himself or herself:

Do I want to be a genuine “fauji” or do I want to be a pseudo “fauji”?

And if you just want to appear to be a “Fauji” then it is best not to join the Defence Services, for your pretence will not last for long.

NB: “Fauji” is a generic term for uniformed personnel of Army Navy and Air Force

OUTSOURCING EX-SERVICEMEN WELFARE

OUTSOURCING EX-SERVICEMEN WELFARE

Ramblings of a Retired Mind

VIKRAM KARVE

RETIRED VETERAN “FAUJIS” – ARE THEY WELL LOOKED AFTER?

Values change with time.

I earlier days, children considered it their bounden duty to look after their parents.

Now, it is not so.

That is why an increasing number of children want to migrate and settle down abroad, in America, Europe, Australia and other developed countries, for a better life, leaving their parents to fend for themselves back home.

As they imbibe modern western values, they will feel no pangs of conscience to put their parents in old age homes – in fact, it will seem a practicable thing to “outsource” parent-care to old age homes.

A similar value change is seen in the armed forces, the army, the navy, and the air force.

Earlier, just like children considered parent-care as their personal duty, serving officers considered it as their bounden duty to look after the welfare of veteran ex-servicemen.

Now, in a similar way as values have changed in the modern world, values have changed in the services too.

The Army Chief, Navy Chief and Air Force Chief consider it as their bounden duty to look after serving personnel under their command only.

The Service Chiefs seem to have no obligation, moral or formal, towards veteran retired ex-servicemen.

Maybe that is why the Service Chiefs have “outsourced” the welfare of ex-servicemen to the civilians of the Ministry of Defence (in the same manner as modern children outsource parent-care to old age homes).

In September 2004, the army, navy and air force “outsourced” the responsibility of looking after ex-servicemen and their widows to a newly created Department of Ex-servicemen Welfare (DESW) which is manned by civilians.

So, the uniformed services have abdicated the “duty” of looking after their “elders” (ex-servicemen), in the same manner as modern children wriggle out of their parent-care duties.

Values have changed.

If children can wash their hands of parent-care, what is wrong if the defence services wash their hands of ex-servicemen care?

Was it a good decision by the Armed Forces Chiefs to “outsource” ex-servicemen’s welfare to civilians?

Is the DESW proving to be more effective in ex-servicemen’s welfare than the Service Headquarters were in the past?

Well, only a veteran ex-serviceman who retired before 2004 and has experienced “both sides of the coin” (pre-2004 and post-2004) can probably answer these questions.

What do you feel – do you think retired veteran “faujis” are well looked after in India?

THE “FAUJI” LADY WHO CALLED ME “NEUTRAL” - Humor in Uniform

HUMOUR IN AND OUT OF UNIFORM

THE “FAUJI” LADY WHO CALLED ME “NEUTRAL”

I saw plenty of humour in uniform.

And I saw plenty of humour “out of uniform” too, interacting with some delightful “fauji” ladies.

Here is one such hilarious story from my Humor in Uniform archives, once more, for you to enjoy:

YOU ARE “NEUTRAL”

A Hilarious Story

THE “FAUJI” LADY WHO CALLED ME “NEUTRAL” - apocryphal story by Vikram Karve

“You are neutral,” the middle-aged lady with suspiciously black hair said to me.

I was stunned, totally bewildered.

In my life, especially in the Navy, I had been called all sorts of names.

But, no one had ever called me “neutral”.

This happened 22 years ago, in early 1992.

It was my welcome party at the officers’ mess of the inter-service institution in Pune to which I had been recently appointed.

The “fauji” lady, a senior army officer’s wife, asked me, “How many children do you have?”

“Two. I have a boy and a girl,” I said.

Hearing this, she remarked, “You are neutral.”

On seeing my puzzled look, she elaborated on her remark.

She pointed to my boss, a Commodore, and said: “Look at him. He is so lucky. He has two sons. It is a double lottery. And look at me. I have two daughters. I am so unlucky. But you have one son and one daughter – at least you are neutral – neither lucky nor unlucky.”

“How does it matter whether you have sons or daughters?” I asked her.

The lady (let us call her “Mrs. G”) explained to me: “You modern Maharashtrians won’t understand. But we come from an upcountry state, and that too we belong to a business community, and in our community all this matters a lot. I wish I had at least one son.”

“Then why don’t you have one?” I said, tongue-in-cheek.

“We tried. We wanted to have a son. But then I had some gynaec problems…” she said most candidly.

I was not interested in hearing explicit details of her gynaecological problems, so I politely excused myself and headed for the bar.

A few days later, during my evening walk, I met Mrs. G along with her two teenage daughters.

They invited me over for a cup of tea.

As I talked to them, I was mighty impressed by the girls – they were smart, intelligent, poised, and full of social graces.

Any parent would feel proud of such accomplished daughters.

But Mrs. G would keep whining and carping about her misfortune of having two daughters.

Two years later, we heard that her elder daughter had secured a merit ranking in the CET and was selected for admission for the MBBS course at the premier medical college in Mumbai.

We went to congratulate Mrs. G on her daughter’s success.

“What congratulations? I am sunk,” Mrs. G said despondently.

Stunned into silence for a moment, I asked her in amazement, “What are you saying? Your daughter is going to become a doctor – her career, her life is made.”

“That is what I am worried about,” Mrs. G said.

“Worried?” I asked her.

“Now we will have to find her a doctor – a status match – and do you know what the going rate for a doctor is?” Mrs. G said matter-of-factly.

“Dowry? Are you talking about dowry in this world and age?” I asked, surprised.

Mrs. G gave me an incredulous look, and then irritably said to me: “Which world are you living in? Of course, you city-bred Maharashtrians won’t understand, but in our society if you want a status match it is an expensive affair. That is why I warned my husband not to let her appear for CET. I wanted my daughter to do her BA at Fergusson or Wadia College. We could have found some nice fauji boy for her – some nice army, navy or air force officer. Or better still, maybe she would have found some good Maharashtrian boy for herself and settled down here in Pune – then there would be no problem of any dowry too!”

“Maybe your beautiful daughter will find some nice Maharashtrian boy in her medical college,” I said optimistically.

Mrs. G looked at me for some time, then her face brightened up and she said to me, “I hope so. I really hope so. If what you say happens I will give you a big treat – Agar Aisa Hua To Tumhare Muh Mein Ghee Shakkar ( अगर ऐसा हुआ तो तुम्हारे मुह में घी शक्कर ) – which literally translated means – if what you say happens then I will put clarified butter (ghee) and sugar in your mouth.”

And what I had predicted did happened – but I am still waiting for the Ghee Shakkar...
