ARE YOU MILITARY?

I wanted to join Infantry, either Punjab or Baloch Regiment would have been my favourite, out of love rather prejudice (my late father was a Punjabi Rajput and my mother is a Lashari Baloch). Somehow a fine twist of fate made me join Army Medical College in 1985. And now I am Doctor who has served various Military Hospital and PAF Setups.
But apart from it Allah Almighty gave me many opportunities to serve with the Best Infantry of the World. I have served with 16 Punjab Regt on IS duties to Faisalabad in 1991, 10 AK Regt in Azad Kashmir from 1992-93, 21 FF Regt on WAPDA duties in 1999, 23 Baloch Regt and 48 FF Regt on Monitoring duties in Bannu and North Waziristan Agency in 1999-2000, 6 Baloch Regt in Kurram Agency (Arwaza and later Koh-e-Safed on Pak Afghan Border) in 2001, 71 Punjab Regt on Indian Border in Jalalpur Jattan Sector in 2002, 49 FF Regt in North Waziristan Agency (Miranshah, Dattakhel, Saidagi, Dabbar-miami etc) in 2002-03, again 23 Baloch Regt and 71 Punjab Regt in South Waziristan Agency (Wana, Kanni Gurram, Zam-chand etc) in 2003.
It feels so good to attend to the sick while at the same time, getting a taste of Infantry life. It is really amazing.

Very impressive profile Dr Sufi.
The skill of a medical officer or medic as they’re called are ever important among any unit of soldiers. A combination of two great professions; medicine and soldiering, is surely an enviable career. You should be proud indeed! :k:
