IAF officer’s LinkedIn post on why ‘fauji kids are truly impressive' goes viral
“A big shoutout to all the fauji kids because…,” reads a part of a post shared by an IAF officer on LinkedIn about army children.
A post shared by an Indian Air Force officer about army children and the challenges they face has gone viral. Taking to LinkedIn, IAF Squadron Leader Niharika Handa penned why she thinks ‘Fauji kids are truly impressive’. She added how they ‘live all the challenges of military life’ without signing up for it.
“Fauji kids are truly impressive. They live all the challenges of military life, but they never signed up for it. They move houses, they change schools, and they adapt to constantly-changing neighbourhoods. Frequent moves are a way of life for the fauji child. It is never easy to say goodbye to friends and familiar routines, to begin again in a new school, a new neighbourhood - and sometimes a new country!” Handa wrote.
“The fact is fauji kids say goodbye more often in their first few years than the average person does in a lifetime. A big shoutout to all the fauji kids because through their courage and support, they serve this nation too - and I am proud of you all!” she added.
Hands wrapped her post by expressing her appreciation and love for her kids. “Love and respect to my little darling and thanks for being not so fussy baby and supporting me and your dad always,” she shared. The post is completed with a sweet image.
