Life in Navy
In Dec 2009 I gave my SSB for Indian navy and got through. I was the only one calling up my parents and crying about it because I was upset about resigning HSBC. However, it was a moment of pride for my family as I was the first girl to get a government job and in defence force. Everyone was happy and cheerful but me. Pondering upon this thought, I realised that I must have done something countless that for the first time my father thanked me for being his daughter. It was at this time of my life that everyone in my family was proud of me and was not cursing me for being a girl.
Finally the day came when I stepped into the Indian Naval Academy which would help me in grooming and helping in becoming an Officer. The training was rather harsh however as time passed the responsibility of being an officer got into my head. From a cadet to passing out as an officer, the academy does transform a person completely.
