Splendid passing-out parade held for smartly turned out naval officers
![]()
The passing-out ceremony for 94 officers, including seven women, took place on Monday at the Pakistan Naval Academy. The women will not, however, be taking part in combat.
Women officers of the Pakistan Navy do not do duty on warships since they have no combat roles in the armed forces. The women officers who pass out from the naval academy usually join the institution’s information and technology department, supply and logistics, education and public relations. The women doctors who join the navy are usually either recruited from the Army Medical College after completing five years of studying medicine there or are foreign graduates who are directly commissioned into the force as lieutenants.
Such practices are discriminatory to non-Muslim Pakistanis who might want to join the Navy and go against the freedom of individual rights. Have we not learned the hard way that religion and state needs to be kept separate? Think of how many soldiers we have lost due to this confusion we have caused about how people can dictate their religious views on others and force them to comply.
No religious dictations from anyone in authority. FREEDOM.
what do they wear when they are swimming?…I am curious to know
@B, this is not the Pakistan Navy, this is Farhat Hashmi’s Navy :)

The question really should be , Can they even swim at all??
Pehaps in Pak Navy its not an requirment for these women !!!
All this is for show of modernity of Pak Navy with veil of Islamisation of the Institution, as every other body in Pakistan !!
Thanks to Zia, and his Saudi master’s introduction of this Wahabism to an society which was secular until creation of Islamic republic !!!
Hence Pakistan’s Identity Crises in 21st century Global World !!!
Why is she not covering her face? Tight fitting clothes is not permitted? Ji Haaaaaard!
Whatever, the one in the middle is hot ;) even in hijab
Which one? There are two in the middle.

Why is the hijab a part of the uniform??? In Pakistan this is an individual’s choice and should not be imposed on as a uniform. Shame on the Navy for imposing this and then they wonder how come some of their rank and file are infiltrated by Al-Qaeda. Pakistan’s Armed Forces and Navy needs to stop being Arabized and Wahabized. You are here to defend us, not impose your religious views on us.Such practices are discriminatory to non-Muslim Pakistanis who might want to join the Navy and go against the freedom of individual rights.
