This is a tiny space in the blogo-sphere for the blokes chosen to train at NDA from 1976-78 , to express themselves freely and frankly. All ’58 borns turn 58 this year and all but a handful of us, destined to be three star Generals , Admirals and Air marshals are back to civvies. It is time to take stock of the years gone by since passing out of this great academy and technology has made it possible to do a ‘collective reflection’. It is also time for some leisurely cud-chewing of memories of the academy days and also to look ahead to spending the golden years, as fruitfully as possible.
