fsb: @chimkar ....going with the british army fitness guide. Basically the program is designed to allow potential recruits attain the level of fitness expected of a trained soldier. The program runs for 16weeks and involves a lot of jogging, push ups, sit ups, running and others - building both muscular and aerobic endurance.

The good part is if you are lucky enough to get shortlisted the program will prepare your body for the onslaught it will receive during dssc training. If not, its a good way to keep fit.

The following is a link to the 16 week schedule...

You also need to download a set of 6 booklets from the following link:

I don't really know the basis for short-listment but I think it is man-o-man combined with the federal character thing....

Anyway, I am also a hopeful...I'm taking it a step at a time and not putting my mind on it cos we all know how things work in this country...fingers crossed.

Btw, if you do have info that could help others applying then do share so we all benefit....

Thanks Fsb. Like now am using my blackberry to register. When I was having problem then I tried to download operamini on my bb. It started working fine but getting to upload certs now is a problem. I can't just get where the problem lies or maybe is the network. Is it as a result of not using PC?

@ coldfaya the army website said Ecobank so why dont you visit any eco bank branch around you. Someone earlier said check union bank but a friend who works in the bank said they had not received any authorization to sell PINCODES yet so....

@ T Stone, y dont you just use a PC...i used my phone to register initially and then logged in on my phone but filling the forms was just not convenient so switched to PC.

If you still have problems uploading your files via PC, do let the house know...

Ooohk! Didn't know u were referring to SSC. Mine is DSSC. Thanks.

many candidates prefer DSSC TO SSC because SSC officers are trained as combatants.....they undergo the same training and exercises with the regular NDA cadets. am not suprised at the high number of applicants. there are no jobs in the country. but the military is for those who genuinely wanna serve their country not for those looking for a pay check.

pls, i will be 30 in december, can i apply for the short service commission? i prefer it to the DSSC. PLS I NEED ANSWERS.

The figure under SSC is more than DSSC. E.g as at yesterday SSC is 15600, while DSSC is 7700

Most applicants who didn't find their course under dssc applied under ssc, that may be the reason why the number of ssc is more than dssc

@gideon360 I applied for dssc was that last week thursday or friday and my number is 11,000 and something....

fsb: @gideon360 I applied for dssc was that last week thursday or friday and my number is 11,000 and something....

I guess u meant SSC cos I applied for DSSC yesterday and my numba is 77**...

Hv u considered dssc numbering classified into different corps Such as artillery, infantry, education, etc.

T.stone:

I guess u meant SSC cos I applied for DSSC yesterday and my numba is 77**...

Nope, I applied for DSSC...The only thing that makes sense is that each corp is probably represented by a number. Maybe Medical Corp is 11...What corp did u apply for?

fsb:

Finance corps...so does that mean finance corps is numbering 77**?

@T Stone, Mayb 1st 2 digits represent a particular corp like ParetoAndy suggested and then d remaining digits represent hw many people have registered under dat corp for example DSSC/2013/7386 ...Finance corp is 7, and 386 people have registered ....Its all conjecture though....
