Experience of a life time.....Part-1

hi all.....

this post is purely dedicated towards my journey to the AFSB.......how i reached there....how we survived....( in the cold...and the competition...)........how i met some of the most wonderful people and places............

so here it goes.......hope it will help others....who aspires to go there....

i had to reach Dehradun(Uttarakhand)....so i took a train to Delhi on 3rd......then on 4th i took Dehradun Janshatabhi ...which reaches Dehradun at 9:10 p.m. ........although a direct train is available from Indore to Dehradun but it runs only on weekends.......

soo....i reached Dehradun railway station at 9:30 p.m.....i made some very nice friends in the train....while in my way........so we booked a room for 5 in 400 rs.........

then we reported at the railway station MCO office at 7:00 a.m........officers checked our details.....and identity.......and took us towards Clement Town area.....where the Air Force Selection Board is located....in the bus..........

then after reaching there.......we were told to fill a form.....tickets were submitted and also some basic formalities were completed......

after that our document check was done.......the document check is exhaustive......they ask for all the certificates and proofs......after all these processes....we had some tea and bread.......and the real process is about to begin....

we were allotted chest numbers......

i prayed for the lucky number and they game me chest no. 43.......

then we gave a intelligence and psychological test...the test consists of 40 questions......which were to e done in only 17 mins.......i screwed the first test.....

a second test of the same type.....this time i got over my doubts and game my best shot....completed more then 35 in that......

then we were queued up in lines and were taken to a hall.....

we were shown a blurred image on the projector....and we had to write 1) action 2) Story 3) position..mood...and age of the images shown in the picture....

i wrote a good story about the picture......all minute details are described from the psychologist no need to have any doubts in that.......

then we were headed towards a Group discussion room.....we were told to close our sheets...and narrate our story in 45 secs.....which we had written in 2 minutes......when the last one will end...we all have to immediately start a discussion and make a common story.....

as u all must have guessed....GD's are always a fish market whenever a REAL selection procedure is going on......i put some of my valuable points briefly and stayed quit ......2-3 more entries.....

then we were told to have our lunch in the Candidates mess.......and were told to wait for the screening results.......

after 50-55 mins....the results were out and 48 people got selected for the next phase.....the rest were again headed back towards railway station after giving their mobile phones back..and the freshers were given the TA ........

this time i got chest number 7.......and after a break of 10 mins ...all the candidates were told to again appear for a 3 hours rigorous testing schedule........the tests are important so i will cover all four of them in my next post.....
