In October 1968, Pakistan Military Academy was blessed with the arrival of its six new instructors when its 18th Course was started. It consisted of two types of instructors, The Dasher or “Dashkaray” and The Teachers or Danishwaran. “Danishwaran” were welcomed with open arms as they consisted of Captain Muhammad Afzal (runner up for the Sword of Honour), Captain Fazle Qadir (Sword of Honour, Later Tamgha e Basalat) and Captain Rauf Ahmed. These officers had a very amiable and polite reputation of being an officer; moreover they had shown excellent set of skills in the recent war of 1965. However, other group “Dashkaras” were facing reluctance to be taken by any Company Commander because of their stubborn and strict reputation which had preceded them before their arrival in the Academy. These officers were Captain Shabir Sharif, Captain Farooq Nawaz Janjua and Captain Nadir Pervez. However, they were welcomed in Ghaznavi Company PMA by its commander Major Syed Riaz Hussain Jaffari of Signals Corps. Instead of giving any motivational or inspirational speech to the instructors, Major Jaffari loaded them with lots of responsibilities. They all proved to be more than equal to the added responsibilities and the 18th war course gave astonishing results as out of 147 cadets, 145 passed out which is an outstanding result by itself for a course at the PMA. It is pertinent to mention that in those days, the command of the PMA was being held by a hard task master Brigadier (later Major General) Abu Bakar Osman Mitha, the founder of SSG.
