Hey, I am an 18 year old Pakistani born UK resident who is extremely interested in joining the Pakistani army. I moved to England at age 11 but would like to return to Pakistan when I'm older and joining the army would be my preferred course. I am fully aware of the rough environment and hardwork involved in an army career but I would just like to know what A level grades I am required to get in order to be eligible for the army, thanks.
 
If you have done A levels or its equivalent with atleast 60% marks then you are eligible......at the time of commission, you will have to surrender your british nationality.
 
Haha very encouraging, thank you. Any insights on my question though?

I heard that A level grades decrease when converted into FSC, any truth behind that? and yes I am aware of the nationality thing and I'm prepared to give it up.
