Yes na, during the announcement, your heart will be beating fast make dem no call you
Eminant:


So medical before physical and examination?
Re: Nigerian Army SSC And DSSC 2016/2017 Forum by Dannyhonda(m): 6:39pm On Mar 16
You might not wait till that duration, infact once they announce medical and certificate stuff, they tend to be more fast and once your state face board, u are good to go home. Everyone can't go at the same time, during my time, I left on Thursday and the camp was meant to close on Saturday meanwhile some left on Wednesday etc
Eminant:
I’ve seen all that is listen, but my question is, how come is two weeks, before I do see 5days or a week, what are we gonna be doing for this two weeks, or some states will finish before others and can go home?

Re: Nigerian Army SSC And DSSC 2016/2017 Forum by Dannyhonda(m): 6:47pm On Mar 16
You are so correct with this but during my time, they announced medical and certificate at the same in the hall infact everyone took their loads to the hall so as they call u out, u are going outside while the rest of us went back to our tent and it was rainy that day so we did the 3.2km the next day, after the race, we did the push up and all so imagine been tired and you forced to do this. The test was taken that day and next day was board.. But I feel ibadan own might not take time since they have the necessary equipment especially with that medical own cause falgore was like a new site and they had to bring some medical equipments.
MrSuama:


Candidate, below is the standard sequence for some years,

Documentation
On arriving the venue of the interview, some Officers are stationed to do documentation for each state and you will be giving a tag number( a blue apron with your state code and number). For example, your name on the list might be 1st but you were the 15th to arrive interview venue and you are from Kaduna, after documentation, you would be given a tag number randomly, say KD56. It is with this KD56 that you would be referred to any time your attention is needed. Documentaion usually happens on the first and second day of screening.
Credentials Vetting
The screening and vetting of credentials begins on the second day for those who arrived early on the first day. This is where the Officer vetting your credentials would check age disparity on your certificates, forged documents, fake certificates and so on, this takes another 2days or so.
First Moment of Truth
After the completion of the credential screening, the Selection Board sits and candidates with discrepancies beyond army's reasoning are called out with their state codes, marched to the their tenth or hostel, where they pack their belongings, then they are escorted with tight security out of the screening venue like thieves who have come to still the mandates of their village men.
Medical Examination
If you successfully scale the credential screening, the next hurdle is the almighty medical examination. Here the army have the ability to see ailments that are hereditary in your family. They also have the ability to see ailments that no other hospitals can see. Infact, they have the ability to see your potential to develop some ailments. Candidate, army can say you are positive to an ailment and immidiately you are sent home, you decide to go to Natioanl Hospital Abuja to recheck yourself only to find out you are negative to that ailment.(Children of serving and retired Generals sometimes find themselves in this shoes)
Candidate only the will of God can make you scale Medical Examination. Below are some of the things you would be checked on
a. Bp
b. Eye sight (short and long sight)
c. Flat foot
d. Number of testicles( you would be unclad infront of the doctor female or male as the case may be and you would show her how many testicles you gat)
e. Pile: while unclad, the doctor would ask you to cough strongly like 2 to 3 times, then you would be asked to turn your back. After that the doctor would ask you to bend down to touch your toes, so that your anus can be examined for the presence of pile.
f. Urine: Urine samples are also collected to test for some ailments am not sure of.
g. Blood samples are also collected to test for HIV and a host of other ailments am not sure of
h. Height is also measured to ascertain you are within the range
i. Teeth check
j. Hernia check
k. Tatoo check
l. ECG
m. Chest X-ray
o. Fasting sugar (diabetes)
And a host of others i can seem to remember. The medicals lasts for like 5 to 6 days.
Second Moment of Truth
After the medicals have been concluded for all states, the Selection Board converges again and the candidates unfortunate to have been detected to have one ailment or the other are called out. Usually, the calling is alphabethically. so you here, candidates if you here your number fall out. The tension in the atmosphere at this period is unexplainable. Who no go, no go know.
The affected candidates are marched to their tenths to take their belongings and excorted to the gate of the venue under tight security.
3.2 Km race
After the medicals, candidates are made to run the 3.2 km race under 15 minutes. After the race, candidates are grouped in cages basesd on how they arrived. in time past, the race was also used to disqualify candidates but things have changed. It seems candidates are no more disqualified based on their inability to comlete the race within 15 minutes.
If the army decides to use the race as a disqualifying round, the ladies are allowed to start the race 3 minutes earlier than the males and when the 15minutes elapses, the gate of heaven is closed. Anybody outside the gate of heaven is marched to his hostel under tight security to pack his belongings, then excorted out of the training venue.

I think this is the farthest i have been lucky to reach in all the screenings i have attended.
I also skipped the Pschology test that comes during the medicals or after medicals where you would be asked questions that if you lie at the begining you must lie to the end.

Note: every screening comes with its own modifications. Other officers are free to make corrections and additions to this piece.
And I wish every applicant who made the list the very best.

good evening sir, please can you kindly update us on the possible answers to the questions you stated below
1. how to cordinate yourself when you enter to face the board. (Are you to sit before you are asked to)
2. which kind questions to expect from board based on your course of study.
3. what to say when you have no idea about the question asked.
so we can have an idea of what to respond and what not to
MrSuama:


Leave am make him deh follow instruction. People in service are telling you what to do, you say army no write am, is okay.
It's obvious your matter deh village square.

You don use canvas colour chop all the time you get to ask Officers
1. how to cordinate yourself when you enter to face the board. (Are you to sit before you are asked to)
2. which kind questions to expect from board based on your course of study.
3. what to say when you have no idea about the question asked.

Bros, during my last attempt with the revered @eclipsehemmy, @Ugo4u, @Prospect, @Deraa and a host of others at the butched dssc course 26 pro max, we had many things to worry about, the least being the colour of canvas to face board.

Infact, I used a size 46.5 blue trainers because i couldn't get a white one that would not hurt my feet for the routine but had an unused white canvas, white socks and white round neck t-shirt i solely kept in order to faceboard. That is the standard. Your aim is to outsmart your village men at all cost.

Some good hearted people also give out their white canvas to friends if they are dropped after medicals to help boost their chances while others wait for their friends to face board first, then they borrow the white canvas to face board.

You think board members would remember they didn't state "white canvas" when awarding you marks for appearance when all your village men decide to show up with white canvas?

From my experience, those who made it were called state by state; outside the hall, we were all made to sit, and relax....we were given prep talks.
We were called in based on the state codes (e.g., AK47). When I entered, serving military personnel matched in and saluted, while civilians greeted the board members normally.
As soon as I got in, the board members were seated in a U format, with a chair in the middle and a white board marker.The questions came from every angle, and the board members had photocopies of my credentials.Board members who studied the same course with me or had an idea asked questions from my field; one of the board members was particular about current affairs, and some had nice humor. In a nutshell, the questions had no particular order. Side questions like, Do you play football? etc. were also asked. 
Note: We were advised not to make hand gestures, to stand up right, and to speak with confidence.

1) Actually, just be calm, don't seat until they tell you. Actually you would be told on how to act before entering so no need to be scared and be audible when greeting. You have to shout, Morning sir!!!!! And they will tell you to seat but make sure it must come from the board director oo.
2) random question and also your field too
3) Well my own time, I kept quiet o cause we were told not to say "no idea" loool but once you unable to attempt it, they will move to the next question. If your head strong, na small question way simple dem go ask but if luck no dey, dem go drill you o lol. But know that na middle you go dey while you are surrounded like you facing panel.
One last thing just scale the medical and certificate then you can worry about this board cause it is the least of your worries lol but u gonna be fine
