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.

R u an exboy? If yes,I would like to know ur set.

Fighting doesn't prove bravery or running cowardice.
But the simple truth is this, if not for the mishaps in the Nigerian system, a lot of us won't join. Even if you fit beat army man, u gast maintain make accidental discharge no enter ur belle.

And who said NMS is NDA? But do you expect an ex-boy who passed out, be it he is now on study leave or in active service to be talking like a civilian on military matters? With a single sentence i can tell if one is a peronnel or he was in NMS but even dashed on awol or was dismissed in his class1 when he speaks. You expect a service personnel to tell you a shortservice commissioned officer can change to a regular instead of convert to a regular? How do you expect someone in any arm of service to link d executive commissioning i mentioned wit conversion course? How can an ex-boy tell you he graduated from NMS instead instead of he Passed out. Ok i free una make una dey buy d garbge they are selling to you guys

Thank u.
1. DSSC
2. Depends on the arm of service you want. Dats ur personal choice
3. Lets say Maj Gen but that depends on d availabity of slot for conversion but anything goes in naija even in d armed forces
4. Salary is the same but the allowances make d huge difference. officers in the medical corp earn higher than their coursemates in other corps. Dat applies to any of the arm of service. But then d issue of appointment is also there

Re: Ask Me Questions About Careers In The Military by megadeath: 6:20am On Dec 24, 2013
Dear OP. Nice write up but you made some factual errors here. Many can be ignored though. Let me quickly say the duration for Regular Combatant training is 5 years as opposed to the 4 years u said and that of Short Service training is 9 months and noot 6 months.

Also you said a short service officer, finishes his training and is granted a full Lieutenant rank. That is not true. Both Regular combatants and Short Service combatant are granted the second lieutenant commissions with different ante-date on rank. It is the Direct short service commission for professionals such as doctors and lawyers that grants you a full Lieutenant rank immediately on commission.

You made quite some more mistakes. Please enquire better before posting. Cheers

Please sir can you tell me the range is the salary by ranks, I am not asking for a precise figure, just the range. From the first rank of a short-service military personnel, what range will his salary be? And will he be entitled to benefits? House(flat)? Car?

So if/when I put in for it I will know what to expect, if I can raise a family off it, pay bills, establish..

Thank you.

Please Help with my questions

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)

That "question" should be for another thread. This poster is just trying to help us with first hand military "career" enquires which we can't really get anywhere and you people are now harassing him. Please act mature, or "pretend" to be mature. What he is doing is a good thing, do not discourage him.

He is here to help us answer career questions and we are not paying him for it, he is doing it out of his on good will, no one is paying him to answer us, please! use the opportunity "wisely" and ASK REASONABLE QUESTIONS.

What do you mean by carrying a gun? Is it that you want to know if you will be in active combat operations?

Yes you there is a corp you can fit in

For peace keeping, of course yes if your unit is being deployed

Military is not for people like you whose primary concern is the financial aspect of the proffession.
If you have real passion for it,salary,cars,house,flats etc should be the least of your worries.
While you are preoccupied about financial gains,be wary of the fact that you might not live to enjoy even the pension package.
You could end in a body bag.

Military isnt Boys Scout Movement or Banking Jobs where you compare salary structures.
