Did you read the post below...?? No..? The read it first...Read it..? So now you are wondering how come Sassy Boy ended up in the army.. ? Well, I am still in the software industry..(alas!) but isn't it interesting how similar they are..?The life in the army and the life in the Software Industry..
Any new recruit who gets in the army or the industry goes through a compulsory training.. Of course training is difficult from the life you were having earlier(We got up and slept at times we thought ridiculous in our college days.) But as they say..it is the best time you are going to have in the industry....Life in combat is not at all easy.. well..neither is it easy in projects...
One thing that you will notice in new recruits that they are so goddam confident about themselves initially that they think they can take on the world.... everybody wants to be where the action is.."I want to be in the regiment where i get to see some fighting... ".."I want to be in the Development team of the company.."..Similar thoughts, isn't it? But as you undergo training, you begin to hear stories from the battlefront.. And then some people would rather have a testing job than be in development..
IT-Training has another interesting similarity to Combat training(maybe that's why they call it Combat training in some IT companies)..As in combat training you are taught different skills to fight and survive, you would realise that that's what happens in IT-Training... .NET, JAVA,Testing,UNIX,Mainframes etc. are nothing but different weapons which you must have trained on to survive in different scenarios.. pretty much the same as in the Army...
Hmmmm...Interesting...Isn't it..? However, there is one huge difference between the two.. There are martyr's in the army... but no such thing exists in the software industry.. Its survival of the fittest out here.. And if you aint fit, then you wont survive... Not for long... So...Stay fit.. !!
As for me... Well, lets see what's in store for me..?
