The life in the Academy was really tough and had tight schedules. Early morning start with Drill in OG dress. Within 10 minutes after completion of Drill, we have to change in PT dress and have to fall in the PT ground. After PT, take bath, change in to Mufti and rush to GC's mess for breakfast. Come back to barracks after breakfast to take the books and other material for next session.
