Released SS Officers may be recruited for a new contingency force in Mumbai

-

There are indications that released Short Service Commissioned Officers may be recruited in a new contingency force being raised for emergent situations by the State of Maharashtra. The force has been tentatively (and fancily) named ‘Force ONE’.

Ex-SS Officers of the military would most probably be recruited at ACP / Addl DCP levels through the public service commission.

Released officers who after leaving the army are missing their uniforms (as it usually happens- as they say, the grass is always greener… :-) ) may keep their eyes and ears open for a formal announcement soon. Such officers who miss their uniforms also have an option of joining as Territorial Army (TA) volunteers with full protection of their rank and seniority. The ‘Force ONE’ news more or less stands confirmed now since the same has today been reported in a section of the media too.

  1. Aha!
    I think lot of watering will be required before the grass turns green. No one should take the cattle for granted.

  2. I find a poem posted by somebody in an earlier post very relevant here. So I take the liberty to copy paste.

    "Here is My Poem

    Last night as I lay sleeping
    I died .. or so it seemed,
    Then I went to heaven
    But only in my dream

    Up there St Peter met me
    Standing at the Pearly Gates,
    He said, "I must check your record...
    Please stand here and wait."

    He turned and said "Your record
    Is covered with terrible flaws,
    On earth I see you rallied
    For every losing cause."

    I see that you drank alcohol,
    smoked and partied too,
    Fact is, you've done everything
    A good person should never do.

    We can't have people like you up here...
    Throughout your life all you did was hear,
    You carried out orders without pausing to think...
    You never asked for instructions in ink.

    Then he read the last of my record
    Took my hand and said, "Come in."

    You stood in isolated places and shivered alone
    You left your kith, kin, hearth and home
    You come from an unresponsive, ungrateful nation
    You were denied your rights by every Pay Commission

    He led me up to the Chief of Heaven ...
    "Take him in and treat him well",
    He has served in the Indian Military ...
    He's done his time in hell."

    I dont think anybody would love a second chance in hell.

  8. It is much better to go and Serve TATA or be in some bank as security incharge / Guard rather than being a second grade ACP under an IPS jack ass.

    Serving in the Army under IAS bosses is System failure and thrust upon. But being part of Army provides at least some psychological defence....

  9. Things are not as straight as interpretted. The peculiar wording appears to be a jugglury of bureaucrates to fit in Lt Col (Selection) and Lt Col (TS) in one band without mentioning it. It is difficult to forecast their vision. The whole episode arose only due to the orders implying that 'all old pay scale-24 and above except defence personnel in pay scale -25 will be in PB-4'. We should not forget that earlier also Lt Col (TS) was not in pay scale-25, rather they were below pay band-24. The entire problem arose due to ceasation of the rank Lt Col (Selection) and the bureaucrate's inability to grasp the intricacies.

  10. I heard that a new pay scale has been introduced for MNS oficers in negation to Special Gazatte notification as per 6PC. Is it true? Can the GOI order once accorded can be revised down wards? Whats the logic? Can anyone throw light on it?
