Dear Colleagues,
Telephonic inputs from various ESM continue. The general mood appears to favour continuance of the efforts/struggle till full OROP is granted, irrespective of what the government offers by way of enhancement in pensions.
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM
Chairman IESM
The Military Mirror
The strongest message on what ails the services is given by the service officers themselves, when they do not want their children to join the services. These officers are the loudest messengers for the military. Their actions speak louder than their words. Rank, Status and Honour of Military Services has been degraded and derated by Bureaucrats in the last 6 decades- that the downslide cannot be redeemed in the forseeable future. The military has to survive sans sound junior leadership. Restructuring and padding and short term measures are not likely to succeed unless the MOD wakes upto the realities of Soldiering in the Military.
