Q. Why do you want to join Pakistan Army, Pakistan Airforce or Pakistan Navy? (whichever armed force you are applying for) –Most important question and is asked repeatedly.
A. Sir, I want to join Pakistan Army because I have seen its disciplined and honourable life. Moreover, The pride my father took when he put on the uniform of Pakistan Army and the way he talked with grace, I also want to acquire these personality traits. Moreover, Army life values time which I admire the most. These qualities are not usually found in civil life.
Q. What if I send you to Pakistan Airforce or Pakistan Navy? (I was applying for Pakistan Army)?
A. The thing which you should understand here that they trick your brain to make you think that this is going to happen. Nobody can throw you in any armed forces without your approval. My answer to this question was ” Yes Sir!, I will love to join Pakistan Airforce and Pakistan Navy. And Sir, If you will send me to Pakistan Airforce, Do send me in GD(P), I love jets.
Q. What will you do if your parents ask you to quit forces / not join / quit in wartime / complete family background?
A. I think the most appropriate answer to this question is that “Sir, My parents have supported and motivated me to join Pakistan Armed Forces and I doubt they will discourage me to pursue this career in any stage of my life. If they will say me to leave Armed forces I will leave it if they give me a genuine reason. Similarly, in wartime, Sir it is not appropriate to leave your own motherland in case of any difficulty when it has given you so much. So I will stand by my motherland in every crisis.
Q. What would you do If I give you 10 million (1 crore) rupees?
A. Every person has its own answer about this. This question is one of the easiest one. Don’t go for cars, houses and other materialistic things which show your negative personality traits.

Q. What will you do if you are “Not Recommended”? / Which career to opt for?
Q. Psychologist will ask you which chest number was the best in your group?

If you vote for a candidate who has shown a poor performance, your self-image will be damaged. Don’t keep grudges on anybody and appreciate whosoever is the best among you. When you tell which chest number was the best in your group, remember to tell the reason too, Like he knows How to tackle the problems quickly, he is intelligent, he is strong, he is quick in response.

Q. Questions about your favourite personality? Each and everything about him/her?
A: The easiest way to tackle this question is to make your brother/ father / elder sister your ideal personality.
