Frankky, sorry to barge on you like this. Its a pity i dont have answers to your enquiries but i have been expecting your response as par my topic in family section. About my friend whose on the verge of losing the money he sent to a friend in US to purchase a vehicle. Please your response would be highly appreciated.

Hey Man I pray God help that your LiL boy , I have also applied for NDA courses more thatn 6times I wrote the exams several times but no result , let me tell you the truth if you people dont know anybody in the army, I mean senior officers your brother is not likely to make it through and as regards the short service, it only last for lest than 15years , its usually between 10-15years agreement with the army and it is for proffessional, so , try and convince your boy to go to the university first and wait for God's plan to manifest in his life, I wish him Good luck,

it's not true that they don't promote short service commission officers. infact some of them even get to ranks that some regular combatants don't get to. Check out medical Doctors for example, some of them get to the rank of Maj. Gen before they retire while some regular officers retire as Lt col or col. Let your brother go to his university pls.
