Fatima Changezi is the First Female Naval Officer from District Gilgit, Pakistan
Fatima Changezi from Gilgit has joined Pakistan Navy as a Sub-Lieutenant officer. Just recently, Changezi has received her rank after completing the 23rd Short Service Commission. These services include branches such as Logistics, Medical, Pharmacy, Information Technology, Law, Public Relations, Education, etc. She has many other accolades under her belt, including receiving a Gold Medal in sports for her commendable performance throughout the training period.
Who is a Sub-lieutenant in a Naval Officer?
Sub-lieutenant is generally a junior military officer rank. In the Royal Navy (RN), the rank of sub-lieutenant is equivalent to the rank of lieutenant in the British Army and a flying officer in the Royal Air Force (RAF). A sub-lieutenant is also a naval commissioned or subordinate officer in many navies – they usually rank below a lieutenant.
However, in Pakistan, the hierarchy is different. From lowest to highest position: Midshipman, Sub Lieutenant (S/Lt), Lieutenant (Lt), Lieutenant Commander (Lt Cdr), Commander (Cdr), Captain (Capt), Commodore (Cdre), Rear Admiral (RAdm), and Vice Admiral (VAdm), and Admiral (Adm).
We congratulate Fatima Changezi and her family on this occasion. Hopefully, more and more Pakistani women will get inspired by efforts made by such powerful and strong women as Sub-Lieutenant Fatima Changezi. It is great to see women finally adopting different roles in our societies other than the roles of a daughter, wife, mother, etc.
