Re: Joining Pak Army

The benefits, are much better compared to what they have to do and highly skewed towards officers. The soldiers don’t get much, that’s given. Silaaj (who is supposedly defending the perks they get) in post 27 has already mentioned the plots and houses given to the officers. **Which other government service provides that? Do doctors, teachers, engineers, etc working for government get land in prime locations? Do they get subsidies on utilities, rent, education of children, medical expenses, subsidized travel on rail and air, domestic help (this benefit has recently been reduced), club memberships, etc.? **

About the claims of military using its own resources… ummmmmm… where do those resources come from? Either land grabbed from government property or our taxes. Is military producing its own resources? Who funds fauji foundation? Find me example of any military from any country that is running a housing scheme as large as DHA? Things get very messy if you dig deeper and we better keep that out of discussion.

To answer your question, yes there are government institutions that give their employees all of this eg. CDA, OGDCL, RDA etc. And they get subsidies too (utilities, rent, medical, education). And before you say anything about the authenticity of what I said here.. I am talking from first hand experience here. =)
