Adventurous routine of Rashtriya Military Schools cadets teach us a great lesson.
Friends, today I am going to share the adventurous routine of the cadets of Rashtriya Military schools in India. First of all it is not easy to take admission in these schools. A student had to burn midnight oil to pass the CET (common entrance test) and then the interview conducted by the school and medical also and after all these things the school would publish final merit list and if your name is in the merit list the you are the lucky chap.

Product Review WWI Trench knife
Developed for close-quarters fighting during World War I, the trench knife is well-known for its unusual design and useful applications. Trench knives are deadly in small, cramped areas like these, with a double-edged blade that usually measures between 6 and 8 inches. To offer additional protection and enable soldiers to use the weapon as a striking tool in hand-to-hand combat, the handle frequently featured a knuckle guard or brass knuckles. A spiked pommel was also added to some models, increasing its usefulness as a bludgeoning and stabbing tool.

Her screams diminished as Llion was dragged away from the cell. The stench in the corridor was less but there was still damp, decay, defecation, death. His feet dragged, like a raggedy puppet, the guard either side of him holding him fast. He could feel their individual fingers digging into his scant flesh, leaving their impression on his bones.
