Sir first of all thank you for starting this valuable topic, Jazak Allah.

Please comment on:
- Commerce and Trade group: from what I heard, you are only posted in the larger cities, interaction with key business people (as compared to general public - no offense meant), good scholarship/foreign study opportunities, foreign tours, posting as commercial/trade counsellor in other countries. Why is it being kept so low in earlier poster's preferences?

- Please also comment on MLCG. What are the future professional development opportunities, any scholarships, etc., or is it a field that allows you to become stagnant? I know one can become stagnant in any field if they choose, but in your valued opinion, where does it stand? How do the military personnel look upon a civilian in MLCG?

Thank you!
