Loved reading the story of how the name Hunter came into existence. The very mention of NDA indeed evokes nostalgic memories, and I would love to read as many blogs as have been penned by my favourite author.

Thanks for sharing

Dear Surjit Sir,
How to Hunter was a change which went unnoticed yet accepted by the authorities.
During our 40th Hunter stay, we turned 90° clockwise from South facing to West facing sqn.
Nostalgic journey at NDA indeed.
Respects & regards!

Great piece of history sir.

Very well written and needs to part of NDA History/Archives.

With your permission I will try and send this to the officer in NDA who looks after Alumni affairs. He may like to take this forward

Jasbir,
Your memory is sharp as a razor!
Even though you were with us for only one year, you won a lot of friends and became a part of our squadron mates.
The ACC was KD Singh. He took pre-mature retirement and migrated to the USA. Unfortunately, he contracted cancer and passed away about five years ago.
Nice hearing from you.

to me

I, ND146, J.S.CHEEMA joined when the squadron name was changed from EASY to HUNTER. The ACC(Academy Cadet Captain) was from our squadron. Facing out from the squadron, the mess was in front and the ITEM(INDIA) Sqn to our left and the hospital to our right. The Sqn to our right was empty, used by the hospital. Those days were nice and pleasantly memorable.

Dear Aman,
When will you write an anecdote for the ‘Guftagu’?

3007,
Now they are going to raise two more squadrons, S and T
Unless a JT appears on the scene, the new Squadrons will be called ‘Sierra’ and ‘Tango’
Along with Romeo, Julliet and Foxtrot, the NDA will be fit to replace the National School of Drama!
