Pakistan's Special Operations Forces: SSG | SSGN | SSW | SOW | SOG

[Jango]

lots of officers of SSW are GDP drop outs.
officers come from all branches of the air forces and even pilots. the point that ur missing here is that all Pakistani special forces personal(army/navy/airforce) are volunteers and once u volunteer and pass the test, not even the service chief can prevent u from joining the special forces. also u dont need ur senior officers permission to join the force.
if i am not wrong acm anwar shamim was also a commando in adition to being a pilot.

I just thought that a pilot wouldnt be let go that easily for SSW by PAF...he is an investment, and the engineering guys etc spend only about 6 months at the academy, so pretty much very basic weapon/combat training and all.

In this sense, a SSW candidate has less beforehand training in weapon and tactics than a SSG guy I suppose?

like i said u dont need any ones permission to join the special forces. the sole reason for this is that apart from infantry men rest of the arms dident encourage their personal to join the special forces but rather discouraged them.
but all Pakistani armed forces personal are required to inform their superiors about their wish to join the special forces.
but having said that, if they fail clear the entry requirments or fail to complete the training than they will be facing some very tough questions to ans.

on the contrary

quite a few SSG personal are based in saudi arabia.
starting with the mountain warfare school in Khamis Mushayt, that was established by and is being run by SSG personal, to date. (i know a couple in person).
to the saudi academy in which some offciers are stationed as instructors.
and so on and so forth

all in all quite a few ssg personal are stationed in saudi arabia in different capacities.

they are on deputation etc. not as organized units; ibn saud cannot rely on muslims for their protection any more---their real interests are now exposed---preserving their "royal"rule regardless of how they destroy in the process ---witness their origins as allies of the british empire against the muslims of othmania...

no one ever said that the deployment is unit level, the gent in question said that their are no SSG personal in saudi, to which i had replied to above.
