Book Description
‘So cadets; how’s the morale?’ ‘High Sir!’ we boys and girls screamed in unison. ‘Should we tighten your training?’ ‘Yes sir; give us more!’ ‘Good!’ he said. Then whispered to the chief instructor; ‘Tighten their discipline. Toughen their schedule. I’ve never seen such happy cadets. This is not a party!’ They entered the Officers’ Training Academy at Chennai; with a single desire—to be Officers in the army. Soon they discovered it was going to be an uphill task; literally! They fought; they bickered; they cried and they raised hell. But they also learnt. They learnt to take push-ups and punishments; front rolls and figures of eight; strict discipline and night marches in their stride. Where Girls Dare is a hilarious and entertaining story of what happens when fifty-two lady cadets (LCs) train alongside four hundred Gentleman Cadets (GCs); some of whom believe that girls in the army is a bad idea.
