In response to The Adjutant General's Code of Conduct for Veterans, a friend drafted a
*Code of Conduct for Serving Senior Officers of The Armed Forces*
1. Will avoid managing postings under suitable IOs/ROs/SROs.
2. Will not needlessly change interiors of accommodation..
..provided while taking up a assignment in a new station.
3. Will not arrange Temporary Duties/Foreign Trips to look after personal interests.
4. Will pay mess bills at the rates as decided by the Mess Committee without food & drinks at parties being heavily subsidized.
5. Will not expect expensive drinks, separate enclosures or food in a social evenings. Will eat and drink what other officers are served.
5. Will not collect expensive gifts on inspection visits to stations or on farewell visits.
6. Will finish writing Annual ..
..Confidential Reports well before superannuation.
7. Will objectively assess ratee officers without being biased about regiment or other parochial interests & hence will not take part in furthering any future line of succession.
8. Will not sacrifice interests of brother ..
..officers and men whom he commands while interacting with politicians & civilian bureaucrats.
9. Will not push personal agenda at the cost of service interests while in uniform with an eye on a cushy post retirement sinecure.
10. Will objectively assess a wrong done ..
..to service interests and take a stand while interacting with politicians and bureaucrats without bending over backwards.
Suggestions welcome.
Jai Hind!
