Yes sorry i would like to answer that question and apologise for the confusion.
I was what i now termed a Late Course applicant, i joined after completing my University studies, i joined at a late age of 21, while my fellow compatriots usually joined at 19 or 20 after completing thier A-Levles. Entrents with degress usually have some of the entery procedures dampend, but you still go through the ISSB, and Kakul Academy. Your Usual starting rank can be upto Major, depending on your skills.
I would have if i wanted could have been given posting to 111 Inf (MECH), RWP.
After a word with a few top brass, who happened to be family friends i was assigned to one of the various subordinate units that operate under the Ministery of Interior, although these units are still part of the army, they serve a double purpose, specially related to our internal threats... Beyond that i cannot disclose.
Yes i know its confusing, but because of the current situation and my position, the full details of what i do, i cannot disclose... But i am sure you get the general picture.
All i can say is the perks are great! ;), you meet great people and the best part..... Altough i still get paid only 22,000 ruppees a month, i have more respect, espically among professionals then your common army captain, most of whome waste their comission and never go past major .
Anyway, i hope this will suffice, if you ever come to Pakistan, please do drop me a line.
One of the directors at Islamabad Police Training School recently held a demo for Foreign Law Enforcement Delegates on our new EOD Unit based in RWP (PART of PAK AMRY ENGNRS), the best bit was the looks on their faces when they had to try on the EOD suits, it was a hoot.
