PN officers and sailors are more educated than their counterparts in PAF and PA. It is what it is, whether you see or not. Try studying with PN officers and see their approach to tackle a problem. I studied with PN officers while having PA officers in same syndicate for the course. The PN officers were toppers, but thats not all. The systems operated by PN sailors are extremely complicated and cannot be handed over to Army grunts. In Army, infantry is the most populated arm but as arms become technical like AD, Signals, Engineers, EME and even artillery, the cadres become shorter. PAF hangs in between Navy and Army. Navy is all technical with its electronics systems installed in ships, subs, aircrafts etc whereas the run-of-the-mill grunt combat job has been handed over to Marines for security duties.minus purposefully hitting indian ships on ocean while rescuing MV Suez in 2010......
Very mature of them......
Anyways i would like to see that IQ transpire in the real world first for the benefit of the country then i will give them marks. Right now Baloch terrorists r using sea route to smuggle weapons and terrorist to and from iran into Pak and neither navy nor MSA has done much to ensure water tight security on that front so.....
There is a farsi saying, whose english translation is: ''Prove yr loyalty first then claim yr share in inheritance''
PN has a long long way to go to prove themselves as a respectable force. It simply right now is far too inexperienced force to really give them some sort of positive marks. Nor their battle performances of the past give good impression.
So while you gauge PN through lens of '71 war or the ship collision incident, you become blind to the over all picture.
You really want Navy to transpire their IQ ? Navy is the smallest and it has the smallest responsibility compared to other forces if area of responsibility is seen. Naval officers don't get top positions in JSHQ and hardly any top technical positions elsewhere. There are ex-Pakistani Naval officers teaching in different Naval colleges of gulf countries but their services are not well-rewarded with opportunities in Pakistan.
Try having a talk with a Naval officer, and then talk to an Army officer. You will find many noticeable differences.
