From cadet to officer
July 7, 2008 One of the roles of the two years course at the Pakistan Military Academy is to build the character of the cadets. The PMA cadets, upon their entry in the academy are honoured with the sobriquet of gentlemen cadet. The word ‘gentleman’ is the ultimate honour for two years of hard training, which embeds a certain kind of character in the soul that perseveres through thick and thin. The character is always under an active vigil. This character eventually produces the finished state-of-the-art product called the ‘commissioned officer’.
