Clubbing Delights

When I joined NDA I was prepared for a tough regimented life with no time for any other activity. So, I was pleasantly surprised when in first term we were asked to choose a club to join.

I never expected NDA to allow us to go to clubs, being a fauji kid clubs had been a part of my growing up, and here again I was getting an option to join a club..... That’s what I joined fauj for..... Party Time... Ya ya

The story of a few camps and many cramps : an account of training camps at NDA

1992

No story of any academy is ever complete without going through the camps that are designed to toughen up a cadet to the levels required by a soldier to survive the vagaries of the battlefield. Waise that can also be done by getting them all married, as an after effect of which they would prefer the battlefield any time, survive they will somehow.

All cadets go through a series of camps designed to train them for specific terrain, operations and weather........ Ok.... This is getting all to technical....... Camp matlab a test of your physical and mental endurance. These are organised once in every two terms.

Each camp requires a cadet to prepare himself adequately to be able go through it without any incident. The strength of the bond between course mates is decided during these outings and the real character of each cadet is fully exposed.
