Hi everyone!
I'm a young woman who has dreams of becoming an accomplished Aircraft Engineer someday.
To help accomplish my dreams,i just rounded studyin Electrical/Electronics Engineering from a reputable Polytechnic and also have an International membership with a foremost Aviation Organisation.
I got to find out from an insider with NAF that with OND i could come in as airwoman and then take up my career to become an Aircraft Engr.
How true?

Pls my questions are;
1.I know NAF have an institute AFIT,can i start studyin almost immediately when enlisted or if not,when?
2. Is the NAF career friendly for women?
3. Can i study further say HND,P.GRAD,MASTERS,etc?
4.How about harassments a chic might possibly face, lol
5. Is attaining the height where the pyramid starts 'yams' for a woman in the military? bla bla.
Pls pardon my questions,just that i'd giv anythin to achieve my dreams! 1 love

Please your contributions,encouragements,discouragements(lol),and advice are welcomed!
Please somebody advice a sister! :-(

You dont trust the insider?

contact the AFIT they would be able to explain your options after enlisting

you'd face harrassment anywhere, just depends how supportive the society is

It is a good idea

I think with the OND you've got,you get enlisted as a TRADESWOMAN and not as a AIRWOMAN.
It means,you'd start a career based on what you studied which is EE(Elect/Elect). With time you could enrol with afit to get an hnd in Aircraft Engineering with options in Avionics or Mainframe(dnt knw if i got the name, lol) check afit site to see what the options are.
Most importantly,the secret to succeeding in the military is to continual education.

By saying that i mean, dont stop at the OND you have go ahead and have for yourself an HND,Pgd,Masters,etc.
And best of all..you get a tuiton free study while you are in the military.
Be diplomatic,tactical and very smart when in that environment because all these sort of people succeed in the military.
What else? (spit don finish for my mouth o!) Hope i have been helpful?
I admire your optimism..all the best in your choice of career path!
