Son of JCO was awarded Sword of Honour. Speaks volumes of the merit system that prevails in Pakistan Army.

Most of Jcos sons are graduates of military college Jhelum and know more about military life before joining the academy

Folks joining from cadet colleges also have an edge as they have a head start on cadets from civilian Colleges

They are good in public speaking, well mannered and already molded to military discipline and life

This does not mean every time sword will go to them
