My tenure with Indian Army lasted lasted for 26 years. It was an experience of a lifetime where I learnt essential skills of my life - teamwork, planning, being prepared, leadership, executing tasks as per manuals, staying motivated, handling pressure situations and much more. While with Army, I got an opportunity to stay and live across many parts of India, including forward field areas. My key role was as Staff Duty Clerk where I performed several duties including accounts, ACRs (annual confidential reports), documentation, etc. I earned several quick promotions a testament of my dedication and gritty attitude. I was recognized on several occasions for my game in Volleyball and Kabaddi.
