Pakistan Shoulder Straps
 
A group of shoulder straps. A mixture of support units within the Pakistani army. For the most part self explanatory excluding those with the salmon and green colored ribbon. does anyone know what this might signify?

thanks
Jack

The Pakistan equivalent of the Viceroys Commissioned Officer (VCO) of the pre-Independence Indian Army. I have one to the RPA. Offhand I don't know the correct term.

Subedar Major, Subedar and Naib Subedar are the Pakistani Army ranks equivalent [roughly] to WO1, WO2 and WO3 in NATO terminology. The sinlge pip plus stripe / ribbon is a Naib Subedar and the double pips a Subedar. A SM wears a laurel wreath enclosing a crescent moon and star above his 'stripe'.
