Sir, Good evening, My child is 5 years old and he want to become Pilot in Army. (He is fond of Military man like he like patriotic songs, he has brought many plastic guns and do actions like gun firing actions, jumps etc as seen in many army films) Need your guidance how as parent we can proceed with the same. Thank you very much Regards Rupesh Bhorapkar .

Ans: Sir,
Getting a professional pilot license is very costly. To become a pilot, one must be strong in Mathematics and calculations, and your son has that. You must go for a professional pilot course for your son.

Ans: It is important to have some proficiency in written and spoken English to appear in the SSB after you have cleared the written exam for joining your he forces. Please get him to join a class or do what it takes to improve his spoken and written English.
All the best!

Ans: Choosing a career path that balances your son's interests and future opportunities is crucial. Here is some advice and considerations that can help him navigate his decision-making process effectively. A degree in psychology can lead to various career paths, including clinical psychology, counseling, industrial-organizational psychology, forensic psychology, sports psychology, and academic research. The Combined Defense Services (CDS) Exam is a gateway to joining the Indian Armed Forces. The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) conducts the recruitment at the Indian Military Academy, Indian Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, and Officers Training Academy. The military has roles for psychologists, including clinical psychology, counseling, and research. He can become a military psychologist to support the mental health and well-being of soldiers, conduct psychological assessments, and develop training programs. Discuss with him his long-term career aspirations. Does he see himself as a practicing psychologist, a military officer, or a combination of both? Consider alternative careers that leverage a psychology degree, such as human resources, educational psychology, or social work as well. Your son has the potential to create a fulfilling career by combining his interests in psychology and his aspiration to join the army. With strategic planning, dedicated preparation, and continuous learning, he can achieve his goals. Supporting him in exploring various options and staying flexible will help him navigate his career path effectively.
