I am a Naval brat my dad retired a year ago from Indian Navy as CPO. Me and my mom had to like literally go through so much shifting😅 I have literally switched 11 schools in 15 years of schooling. The naval anthem Jai Jai Jai Bharati always gives me goosebumps and I would literally do anything to go back in defence life. TBH I also want to be an Indian Naval fighter pilot like I was always specific to be it for the navy as I seriously love the coasts.🫶🏼 I don't know if I will be able to become one as I think I have medically ruined my health 😅 but when I heard you were a Fighter Pilot for the Indian Navy and saw your photos it just really fascinated me. I really hope I am able to go back to than Naval life again not as a dependent but a servicemen (Fighter Pilot) and dawn that sparking whites and stant in front of my MiG in the Indian Naval uniform✨️
