Second Term - Poor Inters


Second Term is a a much relieved term, but still hawkishly over watched by the Uppers. Many of our course mates saw the first snowfall of their lives when we had a heavy spell of it during the winters of 1975.


But the snow brought with itself the shivering night outs on the back roads of the company lines - a much awaited feast for the uppers - though GC GM avenged it when he put more bars on his shoulders and went very often to the Second Pakistan Battalion company lines and ragged the juniors much harder than what was meted out to him.

During the second term, we received a new set of uniform - half camouflage (shirt) and half khaki (trousers). This was quite exciting for many and Nawab Sahib knew it well and hwe was there to take shots of us clad in our new military outfit.





Criss Cross was the 2nd Term's outdoor military exercise - instead of just walking to test physical endurance in Yarmuk, the exercises from now on were to test leadership and plannign skills of the cadets.
