ISSB Memories as a Candidate for BAF Engineering Core

Board: 1763, Branch ; GRD -Br-67, Chest No :66, Result : Rejected or Not Selected

Yuh that's how I m starting to write this note. Because being rejected from ISSB (Inter Services Selection Board) I felt so dejected that I don't remember when for the last time I felt so in my matured age. Handing me the "Red Card" like to all others of my group, I was briefed that I lag somewhere in mental stability. The three and a half days tenure at ISSB as a candidate for Bangladesh Air Force Engineering Core at this age was one of the great experiences of my almost 30 years old life. On the third day, after finishing all the field tests when we, candidates of our group were individually asked to give our expressions on ISSB, I said,"This was the deepest call to bring out the 'real me' inside me". Indeed that was a powerful mirror that gives the overall view of a person, his/her maturity , personality, values, physical condition , mental condition, perception, intelligence, aptitude, command, energy , commitment etc etc. All the expert judges of character working there for years are quite professional. The DP who was handing me the card said that this is the only organization in Bangladesh that's still surviving as a world class institute finding out top quality and potential defense officers. So they don’t compromise with the quality at all. What it means, I might have got some sectors to work on. May Allah help me.
