My Target Service Selection Board (SSB)

Uniform: This is a major attraction, who doesn’t loves the uniform? Who doesn’t love the
crisp combats, the olive greens, and the sparkling white shine? We all do.
7. Fitness freaks: Of course as a civilian also you are not stopped from keeping up your fitness
level, yet the task is bit tough. In Fauj your day begins with PT and ends with games. You get
a chance to play and work at the same time. Now who will want to miss this chance?
8. Job Security: Ironically a job which offers you a life full of adventure, also offers you a job
security which is first class. No institution can offer you job security better than the Indian
Government.
Every moment is full of life: In Fauj you never see a dull moment, there is activity going on
all the time. The life you live being a Fauji is others can only dream of.
