Pakistan Air Force changes rank badges from straps to stars

Islamabad, July 6 (UNI) Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has changed the designs of ranks badges of its officers, according to an official statement.

The officers will now have stars instead of straps as new insignia on their shoulders, like the rank badges worn by army officers.

''Pakistan Air Force is changing the ranks badges of its officers from pilot to Air Chief Marshal,'' the statement said.

The decision to change the ranks badges has been taken to facilitate the general public who have no idea about the meaning of insignia on the shoulders of PAF officers.
