Ragging comes naturally as its hard for a new cadet to learn and follow so many rules and regulations in one day so he tends to make alot of mistakes. Each mistake carries a penalty at discretion of the senior/staff/officer who witnesses it. There are different types of ragging stunts: shaving by mud (instead of shaving cream), front rolls down the stairs(2 cadets died in PAF risalpur), lying in underwear in snow, crawling in underwear in mud where even the privates get muddy, whole platoon fall-in in Push up position for hours and if knee touches ground then more penalties, PITHOO (a punishment usually by an officer but monitored by Drill staff where a load is put on back and made to run,walk or stand) and theres lot more.
In many cases when staff administers punishment, "peechay phirr" "peechay phir" command will give a headcahe under 30 seconds. as soon as the cadets turn around he will yell "peechay phir ", after 4-6 "peechay phir" cadet will get dizzy. seems nothing but takes a toll with a loaded backpack on back, rifle in hand, helmet on head, tucked in pants and wearing DMS(double moulded sole boots).
There are some sadistic seniors who dont get corporal or sergeant positions but want to unleash hell on junior cadets nevertheless. some will waste time talking in cadets room while the cadet stands in room looking up at roof all the time, others will belt the cadets (seniors belt on GOLDEN night also after juniors become temporary seniors for one night and juniors rag the seniors).some will talk crap and ask questions like "my dck is longer than the PMA road, and when it goes in ur a$s, what will happen to u?" if the cadet doesnt provide an interesting answer, he will get ragged more. The seniors will give crappy vulgar nicknames to new cadets and thats how that cadet will introduce himself to that senior the next time they come across.
Usually second termers are more aggressive towards new course as they have recently become seniors but seldom get a chance to rag since corporal hardly leaves the new course side and second termers are junior to corporal. An over protective corporal or sergeant of the course is known as " course ki ammi".
A junior can never look at a senior in eyes, always face down or look up at the sky.
If a junior comes across any senior, he will have to shout AOA SIR three times or keep shouting AOA SIR till the senior replies WS.
If a junior approaches a senior room, he will knock three times and shout AOA Sir, XYZ GC reporting. He will not enter unless senior asks him to enter
Approaching platoon commander room by a junior cadet is out of question, he cannot bypass his corporal or sergeant.
when a senior enters a juniors room, he will atonce stand up and start yelling AOA sir. he will leave whatever he is doing and keep standing till the senior stays in the room.
sm=sarge major
juo = jumior under offr
suo = senior under offr
QM= quarter master
C = company
B = Battalion
A = Academy
There are some designations like CSM/BSM/ASM , CJUO/BJUO/AJUO, CSUO/BSUO, ASUO, CQM/BQM etc which when interacted by the junior will need a certain action by the junior.
example. if junior comes across a CSM, he may have to get on ground with chest on ground, hands on back till the CSM passes by him. if junior comes across a BJOU, he may need to get atonce in push-up position etc. The juniors are instructed thoroughly by corporal and sergeant what to do when coming across which senior designation of cadet of final term
The different kinds of staff in slang lang is usually reffered as "staffa" or "staffay" by cadets.
The first thing that new term cadets go through is hair cut , then measuring taken by tailors for uniform. In the meantime they double-up around in white shirt and grey pants, referred as "muftee".
The SALUTING test is the main stage where the first term cadets gets a chance of first holiday(weekend pass) if he passes it. The saluting test is taken usually a few weeks after joining, but usually more than 6 weeks. Platoon commander is present at the location and passes or fails on the spot. Its a parade walk, right salute, then parade walk, straight salute, turn about (peechay Phirr) and then walk the same route, this time left salute and finally conclude.
In the field and during various exercises in each term cadets are taught military tactics of ambush,attack, patrolling, defence apart from map reading, compass reading etc. In weapons training, from a pistol to RPG covering everything.
There are many fall-ins during the whole day, the new cadets get up at around 4am and sleep around 2am at night. thats almost 2 hours sleep per day for the first month. This is why most of the cadets are sleeping in morning academic classes. PT is everyday in morning.Games are everyday in evening.
TIPS; better to avoid cafeteria in breaks as there will be seniors lurking around, 2 samosas arent worth it, better to sit and study in the bathroom.
infact if tomorrow is an exam, better study in bathroom.
make use of buddy to the maximum.
keep friendship with medical staff for sick leave/SIQ (sick in quarter).
always check safety on G-3 when on sentry duty.
keep canteen half filled for the coursemate who needs water.
keep food in trouser pockets for emergency.
take sleep even for five minutes, you never know when u will get sleep again
similarly eat what you get, you never know when u will eat again, especially on an exercises.
avoid routes where there are STAFF, u will get R's.
never act smart but always volunteer by raising hand first, best way to get good reports from platoon comd.
if your course gets f****kd coz of u, which will happen many times, dont stress about it, others will probably do it more than u.
do everything you want to do but never get caught. Its legal if no one sees u.
keep an extra of everything for inspection.never use it, keep it new.
always pay bills on time before the canteen/cafeteria "chacha" starts blocking ur CHITS
never ever miss an opportunity for a night pass, weekend pass, few hours pass etc.
