6 sword of Honours.

A very good mix of flying, engineering and even Air Defence cadres promoted to senior leadership roles in the PAF.

Congratulations.

6 sword of Honours.

The sword worn right above the name tag is for those who have qualified and completed the CCS course at the combat school and not for winning the sword at the PAF academy. Keep in mind, there would in all likelihood be only one or at max two officers in a promotion batch to have won the sword of honor for their respective academy course.

6 Sword of honor winners would mean these officers belonged to 6 different courses at the PAF academy which isn't the case (and also none of the services allow the sword winners to wear anything to denote that).

Thanks.
Janab, need some more info.

I could be wrong, just my views, please correct.

CCS Instructors more likely, not just the completion.

If they are from different batches, very much possible, all rise same time.

Sword of Honour winners do wear a sword, and its allowed.

I will really appreciate, if i can get a link to read more on the information you provided.

Old times only Sword was worn, Sword Of honour.

Sword means the pilot has worked as a CCS instructor.
