This was the first time that someone from Cherat won the prestigious award, which is awarded to the best cadet overall during the tough training at Kakul.
The mountainous Cherat area in Nowshera district is the home of the Pakistan Army commandos, or SSG as it is official known. The villagers see the commandos all the time as they travel in the area and train hard to keep fit and come up to the standards of SSG.
