Its priceless...should have added it in my post like the Visa advertisement..."and the respect u earn---PRICELESS"
Defence force job is not easy and personally i have seen what it takes to be a soldier for your country.
Money and all is not a big deal but sacrificing your family time for the country is asking for a lot.Most of the soldiers cant even see their children grow properly.
I mean 60 days annual leave and 20 days casual leave is the only family time they get...rest 285 days they have to spend in villages and jungles where it is impossible for them to even get the daily newspaper.
I think we owe a lot to these great people..and we should never take our freedom for granted...while partying in nightclubs or going for a movie with our family we should also remember those people without whom we couldnt be safe.

i dont think any defence pilot is missing on anything.
most of my points are already covered by other members so i wont repeat them, like cost of training, certainty of job, extra facilities,etc.
the pay for defence personal was really low before 6 th pay commission but after 6 th pay commission it is really good and plus most the facilities they get add to it.
rather i would say that our defence scientists are missing big, the scientists and babus are paid on same scale which is ridiculous. if this scientists go to any private companies then they are paid so heavily but most if the scientists in INDIA choose to stay with government firms mostly for their love and passion for country.
but time is changing new generation is becoming more money centric(though there are many patriotic enough) so its a need of hour that government should make some special scientific scale higher than other government staffs and also give cash prizes for some big contribution towards defence. this will definately help to improve quality of our indigenous products.
