The convocation ceremony of the 124th PMA Long Course was held at the Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) at Kakul on Saturday. Multan Corps Commander Lieutenant General Shafqaat Ahmed was the chief guest. Lt Gen Shafqaat congratulated the cadets of the 124th PMA long courses on achieving the important landmark in their life and appreciated the hard work put in by the faculty staff of the academy in preparing and training future leaders of the Pakistan armed forces.
He said education refined one’s character and moulded moral fiber by providing a beacon to discern right from wrong, discriminate between vague and clear, and make right decisions, especially in crisis. “It is for this reason that the army lays great emphasis on its officers to master a greater level of intellectual achievement. It is your academic excellence, better professional knowledge and above all the strength of character, which will be the worthiest in your arsenal and will help you win trust as a leader. I am sure the intellectual upbringing you got here is a foundation on which you can build a successful military career,” he said.
Later, Lt Gen Shafqaat Ahmed gave away degrees and medals to the graduating cadets. In academic subjects, Company Senior Under Officer Raffay Tassawar received the science medal and tactics medal, Company Senior Under Officer Irfan Ahmed Khan received humanities medal, while Academic Gold Medal (Allied Cadets) was awarded to Allied Under Officer Latif Ahmed Dosari. In military subjects, COAS and physical efficiency medals were awarded to Academy Senior Under Officer Usman Ali Tipu and the shooting medal was received by Battalion Senior Under Officer Nauman Ilyas. In the Ladies Integrated Course-9, Lady Cadet Tamsila Shaheen attained the physical efficiency medal and Sergeant Sana Anwar Qazi was given the shooting medal.
Ubaida Company was given Professional Efficiency Trophy for getting first position in training and the company also received Commandant’s Trophy.
Congrats sana
