Shek/Dhruv, Best of luck. BTW, ASC is a Service and Arty is an Arm, nevertheless there is no disparity as for as valour goes. This was just to tell you about the terminology. Another thing, there were no taker for Arty sometime back, now the things may have changed. Keep your cool, just impress you...

Guys!, this one is just a rumour as of now, but it seems to be certainly on its way...the army rather the 'Tiger' has planned to change the regular OG uniform.

I am sure the Army will "learn" like the IAF did. In Avia India 1993 - it was all paranoia. In the fisrt Aero india (was it 1995?) it was all love and people had picnics under the parked fighters. Then things changed. Sorry to make a prediction like this but some fool will one day pick up...

I attended all three days of "KYA". To be honest, though the public loved it, it could have been arranged better by the Sub-Area. I agree with all of you regarding allowing people to actually hold the small arms, check out the AD Guns and Tanks and BMPs. Thats what the public loves, not to...
