ok we abi?

azidomedogo: Breaking News:
An Air warrant Officer(AWO) was given a direct commission to a Squadron leader in the airforce last week.I saw the PT 2 ORDER.This as never happened in the history of NAF.His outstanding performance in the service changed his destiny.No Dssc Officers training,no nothing.It was direct from the CDS and CAS. wonders shall never end.

Hmmmmmmm..........Really? I am just hearing of this for the first time. However, this is not unusual in the Nigerian armed forces, what may be unusual is that it happened in D airforce (trust me, the airforce R very very stingy when it comes to such stuff). It falls under a category of commissions we call "executive commission". The basic requirement is just minimum of 15yrs of experience on the job, a proven track record and existing matching vacancy with your trade or discipline.

It an honour well deserved for many reasons!!! (prospective NAF DSSC's pay attention).

AWO's (Air warrant officers) in reality, command more respect and make more money than a squadron leader can ever imagine (I will explain why but first a background story to paint a picture of a military environment for U).

Every unit aside from units that we call direct reporting unit (DRU's) that report directly to NAF HQ in abuja like PMG (Personnel management Group), AFIT (Airforce institute of technology), PAG (Pay and accounting group), PAF (presidential air fleet), NADC etc. report through a command which is under an AOC (Air officer commanding with the rank of air-vice marshal) and there are 4 of them (Logistic command- Ikeja, Tactical command- Markurdi, Training command- Kaduna, Mobility command-Bayelsa). These commands can give support to DRU's and usually DRU commanders are headed by people who may be junior to AOC's but they report to NAF HQ directly

Now aside from the DRU's, all report to chief of air staff via their various command HQ's. This also means that every unit is either a DRU or a training command unit, a logistics command unit, a mobility command unit or a tactical command unit (tactical command is for air tactics and warfare, mobility is for airlifting, training command is for training and education, logistics for logistics and general support).

Now here is the point, all Units have an RSM (regimental sergeant Major) who is in charge of all the airmen/soldiers in every unit.

An RSM is an appointment issued from NAF HQ Abuja and only an AOC (minimum) can charge/court martial an RSM, at best if U commit an offence as an RSM (that is even if an RSM can ever be said to commit an offence) the best your commander can do is write to NAF HQ Abuja through your AOC or as a DRU U write direct to NAF HQ Abuja and then they will summon D RSM for query or transfer or just outright courtmartial (which is very rare); by rank an RSM must be a SNCO (senior non-commissioned officer which starts from the rank of sergeant- AWO) but for now for its just Warrant Officers and above.

Now, all D RSM's in the various units under a command report to D AWO at their respective HQ Commands, e.g. all the RSM's in D various training units in Nigeria under the Training command in kaduna report to D AWO in HQ Training command kaduna; the same applies for all D other commands as well. As an AWO U R entitled to an escort -hilux jeep with armed soldiers to follow and guard U- as well as an official car with a driver, U have direct access to D chief of air staff himself as well as your AOC at all times and when U retire that hilux follows U home.

In Nigeria now, there are only 7 AWO's. one in NDA, one in NAF HQ, 4 in D various command and I think one in D villa (am not very sure of this last AWO but I know they are 7 altogether).

Now airforce will gladly give executive commission to AWO's to the rank of flying officer but given the D background i just gave that is an insult, even for the D fellow to take squadron leader goooooooon; Hmmmmmmm....... Chief of air staff will have to call him, personally beg him and give him a lot of assurances before he will take it. Air warrant officer is the highest possible rank attainable for an airman after MWO master warrant officer and no AWO will never agree to executive commission except U beg seriously!!!! WO's may take, no MWO or AWO will take it.

Usually executive commission officers R not allowed to proceed beyond wing-commander in the Airforce (that lit-colonel in the army), but executive commission to squadron leader isnt desirable for AWO's either. But given that as a squadron leader he is a senior officer it is understandable. Also if he retires, he takes home a pension package both as a AWO and as a retired commissioned officer so it not bad after all but i am surprised it ever happened at that rank, in the Nigeria airforce for that matter; those folks stingy with rank mehn...........

If you know that you believe in SPECULATION, say "S"; if you know that you believe in ON POINT, say "O"; if you know that you believe in UNCONFIRMED INFORMATION, say "U"; if you know that you believe in REAL INFORMATION, say "R"; if you know that you believe in CONFIRMED INFORMATION, say "C"; if you know that you believe in E-INFORMATION say "E"; if you know that you believe in S+O+U+R+C+E, say "SOURCE"; if you know that you believe in PICTURE, say "P"; if you know that you believe in S+O+U+R+C+E with PICTURE, say "SOURCE-P"; but, if you do not believe in any of the above, shout a louder "I DON'T BELIEVE IT"
Still waiting...

Their is a problem here and misconception.Alot dont even have an idea of what they filled online.Bro dont be scared it's obvious you didnt read the instruction on NA site properly b4 u applied.I would advice u go back to the website and read the instructions again.An acknowlegement letter was requested by AHQ from the institution of higher learning u attended.Its required to verify you graduated from there.mambilla is where the MS office is situated.Therefore,you are required to follow that address.... But i feel u should learn more from the site click on instructions/requirement read and digest them.Every thing we have discussed here is just a repetition of what is stipulated on the website. Am sure you will still come back here with plenty of questions but by then it would not be too serious like the one you just asked

. Poundsmaker. The rest is personal so as to say family stuff. But i will advice those of us here that didn`t or have not submitted there photocard print out to any general shld do so and also hold up to 3 to 400k bcus after the screening&interview, almost 20% of those who automaticaly qualified will be replaced with the retired & serving general list so the money is for the general boys that will do the work. May God/Allah help us all.

I have a question, what is the significance of submitting the photo card to one Gen or the other? Help me understand.
