Ankita Tomar, you must understand that every one in the army is a soldier. same in the navy

and airforce. Maintaining a good physical standard is a part and parcel of our life here. So to

some extent there will be physical fitness required

answer sir is it right to say that i wanna fighter pilot

Good Evening Sir,

I got recommended for Indian Navy as a Technical Officer having SSC. My joining is in July this

year. I have some queries.

1. What are the chances of getting PC ? If not, then what opportunities Navy provide after SSC ?

2. For what duration, do we remain on ship at a stretch, after commissioning?

2. Being a vegetarian, will it be easy to follow my food habits while on ship ?

Dear Bhavesh, congratulations on being recommended!!!!

1. There are ample chances for getting Permanent commission, but that is subject to your

performance!!! Navy also provides a lot of opportunities to build yourself for a career post

retirement. Special reserved seats for serving Officers of Navy in M.Tech from IIT

Mumbai,Chennai,Delhi,IIS Bangalore and MBA from all IIMs are available before retirement

provided you do well in service and clear the internal exams and interview!!!

2. Are you speaking about an appointment or sailing at sea?!????? Sailing worst case scenario

you may sail for 3 months out of your base port if you go for some foreign deployment

(which is actually fun)!! One tenure on a ship is followed by 2 to 3 tenures in the dockyard/

trial unit/ repair yard/ DRDO/ teaching billets etc.!!!

3. Bhavesh dont worry. You will find that more than half the people onboard ships are

vegetarians. It is a different issue that all vegetarians keep cribbing and crying about the

partiality meted out to them in fauj as they donot get something equivalent to chicken,prawns

and lobsters etc hahahaaaa. Just kidding. You can very well follow your dietry preference.

heyy.. i wanna know the same thing!

can vegetarians be strong soldiers or should i start eating meat before joining navy ?

Thank u sir for ur guidance. You are enlightning many young military enthusiast like me.I have

cleared ssb for army also. But I hope to join Navy and waiting for merit. Sir, actually I want to ask is

being a tech officer how much long one spends on a ship, say in a month.
