COMMISSIONED OFFICERS

WHAT IS MEANT BY  COMMISSIONED

Sadly and regretfully,  we the Armed Forces Officers  neither know the meaning of being a "commissioned" officer nor it is a part of our curriculum in the Training Academies or the officer’s courses at any level. You as a commissioned officer are the only category who get a commissioning parchment stamped in the name of the President, earlier it was the King or the Queen who stamped the parchment. By tradition the President uses his stamp and does not sign. No civil servant of even the so called organised Group “A” Officer gets anything like this. They get an appointment letter signed by some Under Secretary in their department.

A commission carries with it the authority of the Constitution to exercise the powers of the State so  vested in the President as mandated, specially of the command of soldiers.
