Thanks for the quick replies and the awesome insight.

Just to clarify, the "PAF Junior Commissioned Officers" are the personals who are not pilots / do not fly planes right? They did not apply as GDP right?

Secondly, if I apply for PAF to become a pilot, is it called a GDP? What does it stand for and how do I improve my rankings once I am in PAF?

Thanks in advance!

First year you will be running around the academy like a head less chicken.

My suggestion is to concentrate on Science subjects before going to the academy so that it becomes easy for you to pass these subjects in academy.

Another important thing is to jog (not run) atleast 3 km a day and work on push ups, front rolls and swiming.

Thanks for your reply "Jabar 1" and "SSGPA1".

So once I complete the initial training at the academy, then I will be a GDP?

Also can you please elaborate on the Inter Services Selection Board (ISSB) examination.

Thanks!

Don't know anything about ISSB now a days ... Yes, one becomes a GDP after passing (I wouldn't saying finsihing or completing) training.

Thanks for the reply. Are you in any of the PAK Arm Forces? Which one?

Let's hope someone else could answer my last post.

SSGPPA, I believe you become a GDP once you are operational and put on the general duty of flying combat aircraft in active sqns. Passing out from the Academy is just the beginning and you could easily drop out at Mianwali or later on at OCU to end up back in transport/SAR sqns etc.

Hey "Blain2" thanks for clarifying that. Could you please provide a response to the second part of post #8 as well.

Thanks!

That is the passing I was reffering to -)

He means that you are on probation till you pass OCU , A IP can simply say you are fired that is all no one even the COAS cant say any thing so be prepared

What is it with techno and PAF videos on youtube? Something easier on the ear would have got the message across that PAF have changed their ranks.
