1. Unlike the private sector, there is no disparity in pay.
It’s true. All the officers of the same rank get the same salary. Inconsistency in salaries is still a common problem in several fields elsewhere, but that's not the case with the Armed Forces.
2. Every officer gets equal opportunity to succeed.
There’s a straight way to rise up the ladder, and everybody has to clear tests at regular intervals. These determine your future, nothing else.
3. Women can now fly fighter planes, and take up other combat roles.
Recently, President Pranab Mukherjee announced that women will be allowed in combat roles, dismissing the longest running debate in the history of the Armed Forces. He said, ‘My government has approved the induction of women as short-service commission officers and as fighter pilots in the Indian Air Force. In the future, my government will induct women in all the fighter streams of our armed forces.’ That is certainly progressive, and will make us a part of a handful of countries that allow women in combat roles including New Zealand, Germany, Israel and the United States.
4. The military nursing service is a highly reputed branch of the Army, and a great place to work for women.
It’s literally the department that keeps the army going. This is the department that cures people and takes care of them.
