But pls does anybody have an idea of what the aptitude test looks like pls??

oluamid:


Its your normal test. A mix of basic Maths, English, General Paper, Military knowledge and Current Affairs.

jazz04:
Who get materials for navy tests?? Make we dey practice before form come out na.......

jazz04:
millitary, current affairs and you call that normal test?

Generaloluseye:
People are vry funny. They re putting square pegs in round holes. When you should be praying to God to connect you, u re talking about one exam that ll not be marked. I am not saying u should not prepare but those past questions of a thing is just 1% of what is needed.

oluamid:


True. I know someone who is covered in tatoos but who made the final list of those currently in training. Connections go a long way in the navy. The exam is even the least part of everything.

ehissi:


He better not be having tattoos that can be seen when dressed else when he gets to camp for training eventually he would wish he never had them.

Generaloluseye:
long time sir. How is everything? Hope to see u online when those forms come out.

He was already on the (painful) process of erasing them during the selection board.

ehissi:


I know a gentleman (he is a lance corporal ) in the airforce who was feeling like a funky bad guy with his tattoo. While he was in training before his POP, one of his coursemate had a tattoo that was visible even with his clothes on (his own was on his upper arm so he wasn't spotted).

When he saw the way they drilled his coursemate, just for having a tattoo; he did not know when he begged some of his friends to help him plug pressing iron and iron out the very skin where the tattoo was until it vanished. He spent a day in the MRS (health centre), after lying that he scrapped his skin during training and got a note excusing him from physical drills for 10 days. His colleague with the tattoo spent 6 weeks in MRS (D guy pass out during the heavy brushing). .......

BUSHHUNTER:
Pls what will need here is info about the NAVY form not stories dats not helping.

Luminary1:


Pls sir could you shed more light on the duly completed parent consent form to be signed by candidate parent or guardian...

oluamid:


The consent form has a clause that parents will not press charges or seek for indemnity in case of accidents or deaths during the training exercise. Parents have to agree to this by signing.

Thanks!! I must say first of all that it isn't a law that only those who know powerful people that get it. There are still exceptions of folks who were in the right place at the right time.

An officer I know in the airforce very well (during his own recruitment circle) had the opportunity to pass the shortlisting stage and was invited to write the exams, he had the opportunity of using one old GMAT textbook to practice only for him to face the aptitude test and the questions in the edition of GMAT he used was what came out word for word. He scored 98%. He was invited to face the selection board, when the board saw his result they were impressed & wanted to test him with an academic question. The chairman of the board asked him a question (which he later confessed was his thesis for his Masters degree program), coincidentally that was the area of concentration this young gentleman dealt with as a project topic as an undergraduate. After less than 5 mins of talk, the Chairman commended his brilliance, there there the Chairman of the board told him to go and get ready for training that he will personally make sure that nobody swapped his name when the final list comes out and he took note of his number (for future tips that young officer later gave him for his Masters Thesis).

There are cases I can mention but most times, those who fall on the side of merit are 20%. The rest are likely man know man (more so in the era of insurgency where they try to avoid fielding candidates that may or may not be secretly sympathetic to boko boys). Mind you, there are also soldiers who want to become officers that will also apply too. To do so, they must receive letter of recommendation from their commanders (who have a slot in the recruitment exercise, though usually they can out of 540 they want to take, keep 60 for in house slot & then randomnly using a computer select just 60 names out of all the names presented by different commanders of varying rank). And those soldiers know everything about what is required from them which means stiffer competition for the godfatherless folks.


The point here being do your best, prepare ahead. You are a guy, get physically fit or buff if U can. U are a lady, build your endurance and shed those big tummies & love handles you are carrying around if possible.

I know a guy who is going for Nigerian army dssc, a barrack boy. As I speak with you, he has put himself on an 18months programme. 150kg barbell, 1500 press-ups plus building relationships among NCO & officers that may assist, that is his target, constantly updating himself on the changes in appointments in the Armed forces. Though age is on his side, by the time the guy shows up (if the guy is lucky to be shortlisted) they cant help but notice as the guy gallant.
I also know a lady who since last year has been swimming and doing training for 4km jog for the past 13months, speed reads and all manner of GMAT just to face airforce recruitment, as the day approaches if she is lucky to be shortlisted, she has a better chance of moving ahead if given a chance than you whey start to do training/preparation after you buy form.

U no get godfather! Fine, do the needful, prayerfully prepare. You may fine yourself amongst the 20% if you so prepare. Its not to apply, then when you don't get it, start complaining that there was corruption, some get shortlisted but later dont make the final cut and then say na man know man.

Question, when did you start preparing? Did you find out what may be required of you before picking the form (test, physical drills etc.). I know someone who called me sometime last year who was going for airforce dssc, he was lucky to be shortlisted, less than 3 days to the exams, who is the chief of airstaff? E nor know! What is the highest attainable rank within the armed forces & the airforce as an airforce personnel? E no know! Then you squander the opportunity and later start complaining that all the people you saw none of them where taken..............when things are tough, planning and preparation is key.
