I actually do like nonosecond's idea. Be sure to talk about it with other Singhs around you in Bay area.

[Guest SikhForLife]

take some people with u.. call them up to see if ur allowed to bring some friends.

be professional ofcourse.. let them make changes to the law before they test u

and make it sound like ur not the only sikh wanting to join!

[Mkhalsa]

ill go with u if u want..

[bravekhalsa]

about failing the exam thing. you should start going to the gym regularly. Hit the treadmill and run 2 miles everyday atleast because the army is going to make you do that.

you are gona have to take the physical test which requires you to run those 2 miles in about 16 mins or less. If you can practice running at like a local school college track then that'd be even better.

you'll be required to do roughly 52 push ups in about 2mins.. practice that

you'll be required to do about 58 sits up I think thats also within 2 mins.

you should skip a day wen u do all of the above thats wat the personal trainers recommend. If you want to work out everyday then do upper body one day and lower boddy another day. if you start practicing all of above regularly you'll be in a good shape in about a month or 2 and then the Army can't say you are not physically fit ....

just my 2 cents..

[Deep Singh]

yeah, i agree with BraveKhalsa! when it comes to army, the physical stuff matters!

[Gupat Singhni]

Brave Khalsa's advice is spot on..

I had an interview with the University Air Squadrons and was rejected because I was told I appeared to independent. Somehow, you have to come across as someone that will not challenge authority because when you are given orders, you are expected to obey them as oppose to question them..

The may also ask you moral questions like: 'If you are ordered to bomb a civilian town and you know there are civilians present what would you do?' I wish I knew what the right answer to that is..but I think they ask you questions like that because if you have really high morals and contemplate too much they think you will challenge orders..

What I can tell you is that the army what people who they can mentally develop to their way of thinking...

The only other thing I can think to suggest is: dress smart

Hope that helps..

All the best for your interview!

ok, basically what everyone said are all good suggestions:

start going to gym and work out and get buff (if you don't already do that)

don't give them chance to say you are not physically fit!

start thinking like an army guy when they ask you questions like what Gupt Singhni ji said. Keep in mind that army is for the tough ppl, they don't want touchy feely emotional ppl, you gotta be able to kill w/out thinking about what will happen to the family, etc. So fashion answers to what army generals whoever are looking for.

what else :T:

After the article in newspaper: i got the followin ppls who contacted me :

---

When immigrants arrive in this land it is their duty to assimilate to our culture. It is not our duty to assimilate to yours. America is a beautiful land but it isn't for everyone. We have laws and rules that many might find offensive and to those I say have a nice trip home.

It is your mentality that the multiculturalist use to Balkanize this land. A divided country cannot survive. Many 3rd world religions put their customs over their nationalism. To be American just doesn't mean to have a U.S. address. You have to make a decision, do you want to join the American Family or do you want us to change our laws to accommodate your interest. We cannot and will not change for every group that wants to come to America and set up their own little country inside a country. We won't do it for the Muslims or for you.

I would hope you would want to enjoy and be a part of this great land, but if you can't or won't assimilate to our land and language, then have a safe flight home.
