Unless it is Sanskrit, I will claim to be an Irani....cause even I can read it.

What I mean is that after 10 yrs in the army, one is neither here or there. One will have to start from scratch in civi street and you may not like it, because youngsters with 5 to 7 yrs life in civi street would be your AVP/VP and will bark orders at you.

So one should leave in 5 yrs or don't leave at all.

You forget your 1st time giving orders to a Sgt-Maj while wearing a lieutenant's bar?

Always taken with humour Sir

I am sure this happens a lot but ever since I've heard the story, my RSM and I were waiting for a chance to do our part.

A newly young LT just graduated from RMC and got assigned to my regt. You can tell that this is one of those who can't wait to get onto civie streets after his obligations.

His presentation leaves alot to be desired. One day, my RSM saw him in the door way and commented, "Lieutenant, you need a hair cut."

The young buck was stupid enough to go into a tirade about who outranks who.

My RSM stood at attention and took it all. "Sir, you're right. Please come with me."

Both came to my office and without knocking, my RSM opened my office door and said, "Sir, the Lieutenant needs a haircut."

Without looking up and not stopping my work, I bellowed. "Lieutenant, get a haircut."

Letter that night, off base, my RSM and I couldn't stop laughing.

A good Team is hard to come by. To the Squaddie the RSM runs the Regiment.
The RSM has "seen it all" done that, got the T shirt. A good CO and a good RSM is an unbeatable combination, remove one out of the equation and you have an unhappy Regiment. It's good to hear stories of where the CO backs up his RSM without even looking up..excellent

Col...Atleast you should have looked up.
You were simply biased.
Must be smoking something together with your RSM.)
Poor lille Lieutenant.:P

I keep my hair very short... to hide the gray.

"Rule number 1, don't let rank go to your head. It turns the brains to rock."

That was what our senior NCO told us all directly before comissioning.

I agree with rule 1..One or two thought the Crown on their shoulders should have been on their heads.

Maj, don't tell me you didn't have fun with the sub-2 bars.

Major, I must say that you are somewhat different the other Indian Officers I've met. You've got a sense of humour. I hate to be the target of your practical jokes.
