That is what the HR policy of Indian Navy is. Articulated by no less than Assistant Chief of Personnel(HRD). With a callous attitude like this, why do we express surprise at the number of people who want to leave the Navy. Is it wrong to request for a transfer (once in 23 years of service) to alleviate certain personal problems. Why should it become such a contentious issue that everyone derides you as a useless officer who has just committed high treason. Suddenly, you become useless but still not useless enough to be allowed to leave service. I have not understood statements like "You are useless but I have not had you transferred to some remote location because your performance has been excellent". Adm Arun Prakash in one of his lectures said, If you are unhappy with the Navy, resign and go away. dont go to court..... etc. What does one do when the resignation is met with "The competent authority has decided that your request cannot be acceeded to".
No rational explanation is given. Only veiled threats and ridiculous answers.
Having spent almost two years away from the family, i have now been transferred back to Bombay but with the suggestion that if i dont withdraw my request for premature retirement, the transfer will have to be reconsidered, (veiled threat!! actually, not so veiled). Leaves me between the devil and the d b s. If i refuse to be intimidated and refuse to withdraw, my wife will leave me (hyperbole, ruth, hyperbole) and if i go quietly to bombay then navy will not leave me. This round goes to Indian Navy
