First Indian Navy women aviators take charge

Kochi (Kerala), Nov.20 :
The Indian Navy created history on Friday by inducting two women aviators or combatants into its combat arm, which is happening for the first time in the Indian Armed Forces.

Sub-lieutenants Ambica Hooda of Haryana and Seema Rani Sharma of Uttar Pradesh will now serve the nation as naval observers are airborne tacticians on the Indian Navys multi-role Dornier aircraft, which are used for transportation and aerial surveillance and work at the front line during war situations.

Today, they were awarded wings by Indian Navy in a ceremonial passing out parade at the Naval base in Kochi.

Both are part of the four member officers of the First short service commission observer course out of the total ten officers passing out of 70th Ab-initio Observer Course in Kochi base.

This would be a special occasion as this is the first time that the Navy is inducting ladies into a combat arm. Observers are airborne tacticians who conduct operations, in a military aircraft.

According to Indian Navy Captain Vijesh Kumar Garg, the Commanding Officer of the INS Garuda, it was a proud moment for the Indian navy and specially for the two women who were inducted today as combatants.

The officers qualified for this onerous responsibility after intensive ground and flight training at the Observers School and said that they felt proud on taking the charge.

The Passing Out Parade and award was presented by Rear Admiral Sudhir Pillai, Flag Officer Commanding, Naval Aviation.

Hooda and Sharma, both 22-years old, completed a 16 month course at the Naval Academy at Mandovi in Goa and in other professional schools of the Indian Navy before landing up at the Observer School at INS Garuda in Kochi.

ladies worldwide can beat males in fights and construction and technology but us males tell them ladies no and the ladies ejaculate in their knickers then us males control them ladies .

i wish it was the other way round that is why i enjoy sexy ladies to control me because they speak to me or look at me and i see them as my children and i just tell them " if you want to join the military and ejaculate in your knickers when all them males educate and save you then go along and win the battles "

Woman sometimes have more balls than most men, without offending any male, but at the same time we have the capability to the same job a man does and sometimes better. in fact we do work harder to achieve it but we still kick some butt!
