Okpuzu01: In d military, we v other rank n officers cadre. Some ppl believe dat wen dey join d military as a private soldier, chances r dat dey will get to d rank of Major General. Others believs dat wit der degree from the university, wen they join officer's cadre as a short service commissioned officer, dey will get to d rank of Major General. Most ppl dnt know d difference between a regular officer dat spent 4yrs in NDA n a short service commisioned officer dat spend just 6months in d NDA. Feel free to ask me any question bothering u about carrear in the military. I waz der for 12yrs. I voluntarily discharged, I am a military pensioner n a businessman nw.
My friend u are right but NDA is 5years and not 4years.....@op...am 1million percent sure dat u are an Ex Boy (Nigeria military school graduate) wic am also one...

I will be doing a course in Computer Science Forensics and Security, and I discussed with my dad about my intention of Joining the armed Forces (SSS or NA) but not NPF. He gave me the go ahead since he is a retired commandant in NSCDC. By 2016, I should have graduated from the UK with Bsc. How can I go about it and where will I start from if I wanna get enlisted into the N A


I have the zeal and passion to work as a computer forensics


Do they have any section in the army that can accommodate my profession ??

Will I carry Gun?

Will I be sent on Peace Keeping mission?

My mum didn't smile one bit when she heard my intentions(even when I left debreczen)

Guy, Navy collect money pass. For where? May be in the UK. But here in 9ja, salary in the Army, Navy and Airforce is the same. The only difference is allowance. Talking about that, the Airforce earns more. Followed by the Navy and Army. In that order.

baba11: 1)Is it true that they used to inject soldiers with drugs and that makes them to behave erratically atimes.2)Do they ask also that if you are brought before your parents,can you shoot and kill them?3)Y do they discipline anyone that put on soldiers' uniform in whatever forms.Is it because of impersonation which has cause many death of military personnel expecially in war-zone areas.4)Y is it that Nigeria military would want to exercise his military powers on common citizens even without any offence being committed?.5)Y is it that they are not ready to pay their transport fares expecially here in Lagos??
