Today is a bittersweet day, because today is the day I take off my uniform without knowing when or if I will ever put it back on again. My military contract officially ends in September, but my new civilian adventures begin in less than a week so today is the day I say goodbye. It has been an honor and a privilege to have served in the United States Army. I can't believe six years have come and gone since I was a naive 19 year old swearing the oath of enlistment. I have grown more than I thought was possible in such a short time. The army has shaped me, broken me, and taught me how to grow. The people I have met, the lessons I have learned, and the challenges I have conquered will stay with me forever. I will always be grateful for the chance I had to be a part of something bigger than myself. I have loved wearing this uniform, and it breaks my heart to be closing this chapter of my life, but I will always be proud of my time as a soldier and I can't wait to find out what the future holds for me. #armypride #sfg #airborne

One week to getting posted out from Chandigarh (that’s what I thought) and it was the week of never-ending parties, after-parties, social gatherings, and formal events. And before you judge me with ‘yeh army wale party bohot karte hain yaar’ let me tell you, “haan yaar… karte hain and we good at it!” On a serious note, that’s how these faujis say goodbye you know, making the most of every minute they get to spend together. They might be working their asses off till 9 pm in the night but you will find them all excited and ready to pull an all-nighter. Reason - you never know we might not meet with the same bunch for a long long time or maybe never. Anyways, so in all these get-togethers, there was this one topic that everyone seemed excited about – the unit would be moving to the next destination in a train, in an army special train! Have you ever heard about the army special train?! Lemme give you an idea: This train is green in colour and not brown or other colours you usually see. And the coaches have “Indian Army” or “Millitary” written on them… cool right?! B) Usually, this special train is used to move one whole unit with all its ‘taam-jhaam’. From men, their luggage, furniture, the whole kitchen with all its utensils and good enough ration (to feed the whole troop during the journey) to pets and flower pots, everything travels together in this(what sounds like a super fun) train.

The woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved. #letsboard #armypride #army #armyboots #armybagpack (at Dubai, United Arab Emirates)
