1/ This thread had over 34,000 likes and I received over 800 replies. I tried to reply to each but could not handle volume. #MyDaughter is a proud mother and the baby will be two years this August. This thread probably will blow your minds off. How fit a woman is after delivery?

2/ #MyDaughter After becoming a proud mother in Aug 2020 and giving herself 6-8 months to regain health, she decided to do something she had never done in life. Run. She is an avid yoga fan but running??? Impossible. In Feb 2021 she met few of her friends who would run regularly.

3/ #MyDaughter At 31 yrs age, never having run in life she joined her friends in running. By Jun 2021 she had an app that guided how to develop into a good runner. By Sep 2021 she decided to take part in Half Marathon. 2km running became 3, then 4 then 7 and increased.

1/ CONCLUDING PART 4 of my videos on #AGNIPATH and #AGNIVEER coming today. Before that, important that:
-You know me & know about me being a veteran
-You have seen the first three videos

This thread helps you understand all of the above.

I will upload PART 4 before 4pm today.

2/ PART 4 is the most important video and my analysis is likely to draw criticism. Do that but before that do find out my credibility and understand how do I analyse:

-Must know “Who is Col Sanjay Pande?’I will recommend you watch my introductory video on my YouTube Channel the

1/ This is interesting. #Agniveer A particular year we were close to war with Pakistan. My General Officer Commanding, who would frequently call me for operational discussions asked me if I could make all nine Infantry Battalion Mortars (81mm) Platoons fire together.

2/ Being from Artillery and an Instructor I said yes. Infantry Battalions have one mortar platoon with few mortars, each manned by three soldiers, and all mortars under platoon commander, who has two soldiers to help. To guide the fire, there are another four jawans.

3/ Say about 30-35 in total out of which at least 25-26 are jawans or Sipahis (whom Agniveers will replace). It takes 10-12 years of training to become detachment commander of one such mortar. There are 8 such mortars in each battalion. They require years of training together

Post Kargil war, my unit was inducted in Batalik for 2 and half years. I received OVER 175 (out of approx 500 strength) RECRUITS who had received full one year training. They were of no use to me. I trained them day in and out. Under 5 years service was called RECRUIT !!!

All UNDER FIVE YEARS SERVICE had different rules. They were kept directly under me, the Commanding Officer, for training. We were firing live at LoC. After gruelling training and tests they were cleared. Those who failed remained under training. WHERE DOES AGNIVEER FIT IN?

Night Firing requires artillery to fire live in absolutely pitch dark. Try to open your cupboard in your room in pitch dark. Here he does that in rough terrain, loads bombs, lays guns, drives, keeps communication intact, observes enemy and much more ALL IN ABSOLUTELY PITCH DARK.

He is a youth on street with (probably) better education, higher IQ and better health.
BEFORE
Who is Agniveer?
A SEPAHI in Army(Called Sepahi in Infantry, Gunner in Artillery, Sapper in Engineers and Signalman in Signals) etc., an AIRCRAFTSMAN (AC).....

3/ #AGNIPATH #AGNIVEER
... in Airforce and a SAILOR in Navy, the entry level rank stands abolished and will be called AGNIVEER in all the three services.
Will it make a difference?
-Same person, same job, same service and same trade.
