Where to Begin?
Education & Entry Paths
If you’ve recently finished FSc or hold a bachelor’s degree, consider options like:
-
PMA Long Course – For future commissioned officers. Intense training, high prestige.
-
Short Service Commission (SSC) – Ideal for professionals (engineers, doctors, IT experts).
Both have structured training and career paths — just with different durations and roles.
Beyond the Stereotypes
Many people assume army life is all about obstacle courses and boots on the ground. But the truth?
Behind every soldier is a massive support system — IT experts, engineers, doctors, and administrators.
These “behind-the-scenes” roles are just as critical and offer a chance to serve with your skills.
