What if they decided to change this year recruitment site like that of last year navy dssc recruitment? Where most people don't initially believe the site (www.joinnigeriannavy.com) because of the commercial initial it has. I think the best is through newspaper besides they don't upload the advert immediately on their site.

DETAILS of the newly-signed Harmonised Terms
and Conditions of Service (HTACOS) for personnel
of the Nigerian military, which is expected to
bring sweeping changes towards the
transformation and modernisation of the Armed
Forces, have emerged.
HTACOS, which was approved by the Armed
Forces Council, took effect following its signing by
outgoing Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief
Marshal Oluseyi Petinrin on July 10, 2012. It
provides every officer of the military – Army, Navy
and Air Force – with the specifics of the rules
and regulations governing all issues, including
recruitment, accommodation, promotion,
retirements, resignations, death in active service,
gratuities and benefits for depend ants, burial
benefits, child education (dead or active service),
medical treatment, pension and allowances.
It also provides for what every officer should
expect whether the personnel joined the military
as Regular Combatant Commission (joined as
cadet through the Nigerian Defence Academy) or
through Direct Regular Commission, Direct Short
Service Commission, Short Service Combatant
Commission or the Executive/Special Duty/
Branch Commission.
The aim is to have common terms and conditions
of service in the three services – Army, Navy and
Air Force, moving away from the former order
where these terms and condition of service
differed among the Services.
Highlight of the HTACOS is that when fully
implemented, retirement age in the military
would be different from other personnel of the
Federal Government. For now, the military is
bound to retire its officers on their completion of
35 years of service or their attaining the age
ceiling for their ranks, whichever comes first.
This has resulted in the average retirement age
for the nation’s military to be around 52 years.
The HTACOS has effectively scrapped the years of
service of 35 years of service and fully embraced
the age on rank bracket to enable the Armed
Forces to continue to tap from the experiences of
its officers as is done in the Armed Forces of
such nations as India, Britain and United States,
well beyond the present retirement rules. This
means that as long as officers and men of the
Nigerian military pass the necessary promotion
board examinations, they would not be retired
just because they have served 35 years. But that
will now depend on their Run Out Date (ROD).
But effectively, the HTACOS starts with the 36th
Course and their equivalents and above. The
36th Course members were the first set to start
full degree programmes at the Nigerian Defence
Academy (NDA). Before then, Courses 1 to 35
studied and graduated with the National
Certificate in Education (NCE) from the NDA. This
means that while Course 36 and above will
benefit from all the provisions of the HTACOS,
their seniors, Courses 1 to 35, will not have the
full benefits. Course 17 is the oldest still in
service. Incoming Chief of Defence Staff, Vice
Admiral Ola Sa’ad Ibrahim is Course 17, Lt.-Gen.
Onyeabo Azubuike Ihejirika is Course 18, the
new Service Chiefs – Rear Admiral Dele Joseph
Ezeoba (Navy) is Course 22 while incoming Chief
of the Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Alex Sabundu
Badeh (Air Force) is Course 21.
Under the old TACOS, the ROD for a Regular
Commissioned Lieutenant or its equivalent in
the Navy (Sub-Lieutenant) or Air Force (Flying
Officer) was 35 years, Captain/Lieutenant/Flight
Lieutenant – 40, Major/Lieutenant Commander/
Squadron Leader – 46, Lieutenant Colonel/
Commander/Wing Commander – 49, Colonel/
Captain/Group Captain – 52, Brigadier-General/
Commodore/Air Commodore – 54, Major General/
Rear Admiral/Air Vice Marshal – 56, Lieutenant-
General/Vice Admiral/Air Marshal – 58 and
General/Admiral/Air Chief Marshal – 60.
But under the new HTACOS, RODs were
extended. Now, the ROD for Regular
Commissioned Officers under the HTACOS for
Lieutenant or its equivalent in the Navy and Air
Force is 39 years, Captain or its equivalent- 46,
Major or its equivalent – 50, Lieutenant Colonel
or its equivalent – 53, Colonel or its equivalent –
54, Brigadier-General or its equivalent – 56,
Major- General or its equivalent – 57, Lieutenant-
General or its equivalent – 59 and General or its
equivalent remains 60.
Section 02.10 (b) of the HTACOS states: “Except
as provided for in sub-sections (c) and (d), an
officer holding a substantive rank will be retired
on reaching the age indicated for that rank.”
In addition to having the retirement age to be
beyond 35 years in service, Brigadier-Generals
and their equivalents will on implementation of
the HTACOS be entitled to have in retirement
the services of an orderly, driver and a steward,
unless such officer specifically opts out of such
arrangement. The number of such personal staff
is expectedly higher for Major Generals and their
equivalents.
Initially, some personnel of the Nigerian military
expressed misgivings about the HTACOS. Some
were disappointed that it would only be fully
implemented from Course 36 and above,
meaning that Courses 17 to 35 would only
benefit from partial implementation. This, they
believed does not serve the “good” interest of
the Armed Forces and the nation, alleging that
some of the best hands in the military would
still retire prematurely under the approved
HTACOS.
But Director, Defence Information, Col.
Mohammed Yerima, dismissed such fears saying
that “the newly signed Harmonised Terms and
Conditions of Service (HTACOS 2012) is a well
thought-out and carefully drafted roadmap for
excellent career pursuit in the Armed Forces. The
major thrust of the new HTACOS is the
enablement of full and rewarding career for
officers in their chosen profession; it is intended
for the good of the officers and for the greater
interest of the Armed Forces and the nation.
Specifically, all officers of the Armed Forces now
have the following additional years longer in the
service compared to what is contained in
HTACOS proposal of 2009: Lieutenant to Captain
and their equivalent, four years; Major to
Lieutenant Colonel and their equivalent, three
years; Colonel and its equivalent, two years;
Brigadier-General to Lieutenant General and
their equivalent, one year. HTACOS 2012 also
ensured that the frequent retirement in the
Armed Forces is no longer tenable as was in the
past, among other altruistic intentions. More
instructive is the fact that the document was
carefully drafted, duly subjected to due
processes, scrutinized and approved by the
Armed Forces Council before the Chief of Defence
Staff was statutorily authorised to sign and
implement it as approved.”
The quest for a new HTACOS has been on in the
military since the advent of the return to civil
rule in May 1999. In December 2008, former
Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Paul
Dike set up a panel to review the HTACOS,
explaining that the review is aimed at bringing
the terms and conditions of service in the three
services in line with the changes envisaged in
the transformation and modernisation agenda for
the Nigerian military.
Incidentally, the First Defence Retreat held in
Jaji, Kaduna State last year had also
recommended that “DHQ should review the
HTACOS particularly as it concerns the length of
service of personnel.” The expectation of the
Retreat is that the HTACOS panel would result in
the retirement for the military to be different
from other personnel of the Federal Government.
For now, the military is bound to retire its
officers on their completion of 35 years of service
or their attaining the age ceiling for their ranks,
whichever comes first. This has resulted in the
average retirement age for the nation’ military
being around 52 years.
