The first 48 hrs at camp ICS are over
our 12 civilians have been 
put through a punishing regime,
their arms are sore, their legs are scratched
but their spirits are still high 
as they clear their first mission
They are looking forward to a good night’s sleep
So that night hum logo ko laga ki 
ab sone wale hai dinner kha lia hai
toh ab araam se chill karenge soyenge
It just surprised us!
We were confused what happened.
Heart Beat already started to run really really fast
Kala kapda humare mu pe mask daal dia
we were like very much stressed up, 
what will happen?
Exactly kya karwayenge humse?
It was totally a numb situation 
I can’t think even ki
mere sath us time kya chal raha tha
We were all thinking ab kya hoga aage?
maybe they can beat us you know, anything can happen.
Many, many thoughts were going into my mind
Koi toh tha jo humare saamne 
like aese rounds le raha tha
tuk tuk tuk phir maine apne kaan khule rakhe
or dikhayi toh kuch de ni raha tha
Hume ye experience hua ki kitna darr lagta hai aese
jab koi ek dum se andar aa jaaye guns leke or phir aapko,
they take you as a hostage
Us time yahi tha dimaag me ki 
yaar wait karo aage wo kya bolte hai
and hume ussi ko follow karna padega
Stand Up
Next leg of your training is inspired by the NSG.
The National Security Guard is a counter terrorism force
They specialize in Urban War fair
and their main duty is to protect the nation during internal disturbances
We don’t expect you to take on 
Terrorist in arm combat
but there can be situation you will be hostages
and you should know as 
India’s Citizen Squad
what to do in these situations. Right?
Quiet often we go through life thinking
that something wrong 
can only happen to somebody else
and you know we feel, we in ourselves are quite safe.
It could happen anywhere, anytime.
You are all here because you were selected
based on partly your physical fitness but
there is a difference between physical fitness and endurance
We wanted to expose the trainees
 to the kind of situation
that NSG regularly deals with.
The NSG has been actively 
involved now in antiterrorist operations
it would certainly help if they 
got support from the citizens on the ground.
My aim is to build endurance
I want you to
stretch your body and your mind 
much beyond the limits that you used to. Right?
Yes Sir
And this is going to be the key element of your training. Right?
Yes Sir!
So let me give you a warning
during this training anybody drops it,
he has hell to see. Is that understood?
Yes sir
Then do ustaad khadhe the
waha pe aur we were instructed 
that ek ek karke hume jaake unse riffles leni hai
Take charge
Our trainers instructed us as to
 how to go about the riffle PT,
so few exercises where 
you are asked to take the riffle
and hold it up in the air for as long as you can
Two,
three,
four,
The hardest of this riffle PT is you know is just to hold.
Aap kitna jhel sakte ho, 
kitna kitna kitna zada jhel sakte ho
Jo riffle PT thi usme shoulders ka kaafi zada tha,
back ka kaafi zada tha, uska weight actually lagta
hai ki kam hai kyuki itni si hoti hai 
lekin kaafi zada heavy hoti hai riffles
Hold karo 2 minute
Jab hum hold kar rahe the, 
wo thodha sa mere liye
kaafi difficult lag raha tha kyunki us time na meri arms
puri bhari hui thi, they were totally exhausted
It’s about endurance not just physical fitness
tax your muscles much more than they can endure
It’s really really painful!
you can’t hold the gun for like even 20 seconds
and commander ne humko bola
ki you should hold this for at least 1 min 2 min
and we were like kaafi dard ho raha tha yaar
You have a problem?
No sir
Keep it up! keep it up! keep the weapon up!
Can you do it?
Yes sir
Keep the weapon up
Yes I was almost on the verge of breaking
but then one thing that kept me going that I am not going to give up under any circumstance
Ok next exercise, One
Two
Three, down down
Down! more down.
Down! down down down!
Tab thodha pressure atta tha muscles pe
aur kahi na kahi lagta tha ki ab break hoga,
lekin fir maine mind set kar lia ki karna hai
Cover up, cover up! ????
Isko ghutne lagane ka shauk hai,
Isko ghutne pe chalao
Chal uth, uth ghutne pe baith seedhe
In riffle PT mera dhyaan apni taraf hi tha
because meri arms puri fed up ho rahi thi
mera pura concentration apni body pe tha
ki mai kaise isko zada time tak hold kar saku
Get up, I don’t want you get your weapon down.
Can you do it?
Yes sir I will do it 
Up weapon up.
Yes sir I will do it arms hurt ho rahi hai lekin I will do it
Toh jitna time mai upar rakh saka 
toh maine puri koshish ki,
ki mai sabke sath rakha rahu
Are you a quitter? Weapon up
I will not quit, I will not quit
Hum log ki muscles were paining like hell
or aesa lag raha tha ki kitni der kitni der hold karein
I was not scared of the fact ki agar
 mai fail karta hun
toh mujhe punishment milegi
I was scared of the fact ke 
agar mai fail ho jata hu
toh mai gir jata hai toh 
I will not feel comfortable that time.
So this was just a slice of 
what riffle PT is all about, just a slice
10 more minutes of this and 
I am quite sure you will start breaking
My aim was to give you a small idea
of what it takes when
every muscle in your body 
is aching and not give up
And I must say you have done well.
Thank you sir
Remember,
as India’s Citizen Squad you have to make sure
that you act when everybody else freezes
It could be out of pain, it could be out of fear
and that way is the only way you can come to the aid of the people around. Alright?
Yes sir
