He was popularly known as "Adi." Adi was not very happy joining the infantry, as he wanted to join an armored regiment. On one-fine day his battalion was inspected by Major General El Edroos, the Commander-in-Chief of the state forces. At the grenade throwing range, due to an accident, a grenade fell into the bay area. Adi was quick to pick it up and throw it. However the grenade exploded, which left him injured as the flying shrapnel hit his chest. Major General Edroos, was a witness to this event. He was impressed by the exemplary courage displayed by Ardeshir. Major General Edroos summoned Ardeshir to his office and congratulated him for his efforts.
