We all know about the life of a Fauji, there are several Bollywood movies which are focussed on the life of a soldier like Tango Charlie, Border, LOC Kargil, Lakshaya,etc. They might come form the society but they definitely stand out from a crowd. Whether in uniform or in civils, these personality traits makes their identification easier:

  4. Communication: They are always attentive, good listeners and give respect to everybody who is communicating with them.
