The gallant “Thambis” , as Jawans of MRC fondly known in army fraternity, after steering through 46 weeks tough and challenging training schedule could see their dreams come true on Saturday morning when they wore Olive greens and marched past the prestigious enclosed drill square to become part and parcel of the Indian army to take up the nation guarding duty.
