Hi i'm Pavan. I'm writing a screenplay and am currently in the process of Character development. My protagonist would have joined the Indian Army after school aged 16. After training he would have been posted to Kashmir. Where he would have been involved in counter-terrorist operations. For example there is intelligence that Terrorists have taken refuge in a rural village. The Army then goes to investigate, possibly resulting in an encounter. I'm not sure whether my protagonist should be an officer or a regular infantry soldier.
If he is an officer, and having joined the Army at 16, how long would it take after training to be posted to Kashmir and engage in such operations? Also the same question if he is regular infantry.
What type of traumatic incidents would my protagonist encounter serving in Kashmir to develop symtoms of PTSD Post-traumatic stress disorder. Any incidents where a sane soldier could develop a personality change, changing from a cool, calm, collected person and upon being discharged returning home into being constantly on edge, prone to violent outbursts, etc..
For what reasons can the pratagonist leave the army, say after 2-3 years service?
I would really appreciate any help from this community.
