How to Join PAF as GDP | Main Thread

Well I have been doing pull ups regularly and they had a great impact on my height but it has been stuck at 161cm for a few months. Well i believe that i can get a few inches increase in my height if i regularly work on my height but also i am preparing for my board examination due to which i am unable to exercise that much and also i have seen my brother attaining 5'7'' height b/w 17-18 age. So i am much optimistic about it but i cannot wait a whole year to get into PAF also i dont want to get into this application sort of thing. So i think i will give up Paf test.

Region also affects height too much. Average height in south asia is 5'4''

Region doesn't affect height bro .. U are young and there is a chance of medical staff at selection centre giving u a relaxation so u should try for PAF. And keep exercising it will surely have an effect and don't lose hope dear.
 
Right and I'm only half Arab and I got the taller genes. Why is the average so short though?


Region affects height but not how you think. Nutrition, environment, etc all effect height. That's why in America most of the Pakistanis here are either tall or average 5 feet 9 inches because more available diet, different environment.

I myself am 6 ft tall, 18 yrs old.

Ok. I will give it a try and thanks for telling me.

Tallness is a gene dependent trait. By region i was referring to population genetics. With the exception of food diet and environment, there are more people with recessive gene i.e shortness here in sub continent and some parts of Asia. So average height here is less due to this reason.
 
I
For the record i am a patriotic ordinary civilian of Pakistan.I have been investigating/inquiring about the ways to get recruited in the armed forces but i have come across a problem that lies within the recruitment method of Pakistan air-force/army/navy. My main objective is to highlight the problem that is invisible to the recruiters and give reason and evidence for how it is a problem and how would it benefit the system and the organization if it is no longer there.

I will comprehensively explain what is the nature of the problem.First we need to establish that no idea or system is above scrutiny and no matter how well thought or organized it may be, It will always have potential flaws. As a person with limited knowledge i have found one flaw which is worth mentioning.

During the selection procedure the candidates are required to meet the physical,academic and intellectual standards that are already set as a standard and baseline filters.Now, I don't have any reasons to object the physical or cognitive element of the standard, But the academic one.Now,in order for a candidate to even apply for induction he must have obtained at-least 60% marks in intermediate. which acts as a baseline filter. It is the first demand and criterion and it is supposed to root out the Ones which are less worthy from the ones which are more worthy.But the primary mechanism of this filter is distillation based on good grades.Which is not the best of methods for refining the human resource. Why? Because grades/marks in a academic certificate are a representation of one's knowledge that one retains at the time of examination.This knowledge is taught using primitive teaching methods that have never been subjected to modernization since the industrial revolution. Now i don't imply that we shouldn't have any standard at all. But the standard we have is obsolete and outdated. So basically, when we are giving privilege to a Good grader over a Bad grader then all we end up doing is giving privilege to the ability of memorization over more important abilities such as leadership, problem solving, organization, ethics, confidence, expertise, communication, honesty, integrity and the best of all ingenuity. In the first phase a lot of good and potential candidates are rejected as unqualified which may have lacked a bit in memorization but might prove to be excellent in other abilities.Now this is disastrous for an institution like air-force/army/navy to not get best of what its country has to offer.And i am sure people in the army can guess the drawbacks far much better then i can. So I humbly request the people responsible to immediately asses the gravity of the current standard's implications and make appropriate policies and standards which would not only remove the loop holes left, but also create more opportunities for the people who really deserve to serve the armed forces.

Totally agreed with you. I myself dreamed of becoming a Pilot since my childhood but the unfair checking of Intermediate Board got me very low marks like most of the students as a matter of fact they never give the marks to the repeaters. There are so many candidates who are exceptionally good in Physical. Medical and Intelligence but are unable to pursue because of low marks. They need to introduce a system like universities open-merit / test-based process an aggregate of overall Score (Academic 40% + Test 60%), Maybe make the test a bit more tougher but at least give them a chance for heaven's sake!
