Our acquaintance with Major Naeem 27 Cavalry began on 3rd May 1981
when we saw him exhorting cadets of 67 Long Course to face the PMA
reception or go home.
Major Naeem was not my platoon commander but his presence was
overwhelming in the life and times of 67 Long Course all throughout 3rd May
1981 till end of 1982 when he left to attend the Malayasian Staff College.
Major Naeem was a hard task master but a well meaning man.
This was one aspect of his character .Love and concern for those who he
regarded as friends.
Fate had it that myself and Major General Naeem were together for most of
our military career till I retired from the army in 1993.
We were in constant touch and Major Naeem was always there to render
moral support on any issue that I confronted.
A man of principles Naeem worried too much and got too much involved in
service matters which gave him ulcers.In his case a purely psycho somatic
disease associated with his temperament of getting too much involved in
service.
A very disciplined man he was not a rebel in the unconventional sense and
all that he saw made him more sick with the system.
Naeem retained the same frankness with all his friends and cadets even as
a one and two star .
All that he gained in terms of promotion was on basis of sheer hard work
and merit .
