ladepete: House....morning! its nice reading you guys comments. please if you have contrary opinion...you are free to comment without insults or careless talks. we all learn everyday. firstly i dont believe its cos of fasting the list isnt out. you shortlist today does not mean u start screening tmr. you can shortlist and put the screening after fasting. afterall NN shorlisted and wrote exams during this fasting period. the reason is best known to them. the issue of promotion depends on the policy on ground at that period. they may count from date of commissioning or date of resumption for training.SSC is quite different from DSSC. this newly commisoned officers were told the will be 2nd LT for 18months. next year it can be different. from the rank of LT u must pass promotional exams, this can delay ur promotion,this is for SSC(SHORT SERVICE OR REGULAR COMBATANT). DSSC promotion is automatic, you dont go for courses or need any promotional exams to be promoted. As at last year i learnt it was changed to 5years. but it used to be 4years. im not sure the 5years have been passed into law. Every year things change depending on the policy, for instance, as a cadet u are required to waer white shirt and a blue shorts for 3 months, but the commandant of this newly commissioned officers(SSC) said he doesnt want that. they started with camo trousers from day 1. they may say training is 9 months, they eventually commission u after 6months. depends on demand at that time. some soldiers in the army today were just trained for 3Months 4 months during ECOMOG (liberia war). as for arrears ....hmmmm. in the army, forget it...that is some ogas @ the top money, not your money.u go dey collect ur normal money when u hang ur pip. if u ask any newly commissioned officer, u will hear "na so dem talk, until we see am" they are not expecting it, cos older officers didnt get any arrears. but learnt in airforce, they still pay the arias. usually SSC training is 9 months, DSSC is 6 months. IT CAN BE CHANGED ANYTIME. Thanks...

Pls any one who knw one of the newly commisioned officers in the NA should help us confirm this arears issue. Is it true that the pea nut they will give during the trainig is all for the 6/9 months period. I used to know they are saving the remaining money pending when the training ends to help officers settle down in their various divisions. This info they kill morale abeg, let's educate the house more on this

this Nigerian army delay is quite funny. Some naira landers said it was due to fasting by Muslims though there is some iota of truth there in the sense that it wont be reasonable to ask pple to jog while fasting.it is also worth noting that the navy only did aptitude test but not jogging. That is for the argument but against the argument is that the regular recruits training is on going and another one(trades men and women)ll soon start despite fasting, and these guys re going to jog. I actually place a call to my OGA at the top and he said removal and addition of name is likely going on. Though I can't authenticate what he said but my advice to u pple is to keep pressing buttons. If u re on 2GO, add me via OLUSEYE007.THANKS

General oluseye: Pls type "nigerian army aviation wing" on the google and see what you ll find

...guy! read d publicatn well, it says dey d NA av plans 2 add additional units 2 respond 2 present nd future challenges...yes NA might av helicopters buh no aviation corp yet, dey mite b plannin 2 av one soon, buh none as @ now...

xykms101: We don't have to argue on this matter, Nigerian army would not wait for Nigerian airforce to fly its soldiers To/Fro in the war time. They must definately train soldiers to do that.

...o'yes its d NAF dt flies d army troops in war times...if d NA hav aviatn corp y wud dey nid d NAF 2 fly d NA troops dt was deploy 2 Mali 4 peace keepin?...NA don't av aviatn corp yet...

Let's see.

Blatant lies, Nigerian soldiers were ferried to mali by british warplanes not NAF and there were reasons for that, Nigerian army has pilots trained by Naf just as Navy officers trained along with army for land combat.

RC at NDA had screening in fasting period

we r at 90 remain 10

joker5180: we r at 90 remain 10

Na sooO ! B4 it reach 100, d lists ll b out.

dmajesticjoe:
I don't believe u, sallah has got notin 2 do with dis, nontradesmen and RCs are done wif their screening and tradesmen are Starting 2moro. Is there anything special abt DSSC/SSC and sallah?

am not here to argue with anybody-just wait and see, till then

xykms101: Never mind that dude, he always move around with bogus infos. What has fasting/sallah got to do with the screening?

something is wrong with ur reasoning-i wrote what i was told-wait till then. Every one has his own way of timing

Oriyawmie:
I tire o, help me ask am abeg. Are there no muslims among the non-tradesmen/women, the regulars and the tradesmen/women? Na wrong info d guy dey yarn

reason well, is just his own way of timing the selection interview. They just rounded off that of nda-even if the list is released today, the selection must b in d 2nd week of august, which is after sallah

Fuadx1: something is wrong with ur reasoning-i wrote what i was told-wait till then. Every one has his own way of timing

Enough of your speculations my guy, you've made alotta unsuccessful speculations with one of your moniker *guyluv* now it's fuadx1, anywayz i'm in nowhere to be affected by your speculations coz I've stopped believing you in a long time.

Fasting or sallah is nt d cause of delay ! S already stated on deir calendar dat DSSC/SSC ll b n August afta dey ve thru with d screening of non-trademen and trademen ! There s strong indication to b expectn d lists on Wednesday and on their website on Friday 2nd of August bcus d Trademen's screening ll b almost finish....Lets keep this thread lively and educative.....we shall b among d successful candidate IJN....Amen.

Fuadx1: am not here to argue with anybody-just wait and see, till then

Neither is anyone ready to argue with u, we're all using our common sense which told us that u're doing gues work. The screening might be after sallah but don't tell us u were told rather, tell us u're guesin like we are all doing. Secondly, its obvious the delay is not as a result of any fasting because others are being screened even while fasting is going on. We've all got common sense here dude so stop attracting attention with gues work that we're all doing.tnx

Xyms, u are not being fair to me and GOD 'll judge u. I said i was told from ms office that list ll released by mid or end of the month, and there wont b any test b4 shorlisting- 31st is d tale end of d month, besides, bereaucracy comes play in nigeria- why can't U wait and take d range from mid to even 1st week of august. It is only GOD WHO CAN SAY BE AND IT BECOMES EXACTLY

we ve been together for quite some time now, we all have developed immunity against speculations, coz it makes no sense now, coz d list gasta be out in august, so no one cares about about speculation. and please wats d fate of individuals dat have scars of surgery like appendectomy and also are we doing sit ups and push up as part of the physical exercise

May God help us all to succeed in life with or without the military job IJN...........

As with all topics on Nairaland, there must be e-bashing, fighting and speculations. Anyhu anytime the list is out I will be here waiting.

I think you should do the google things and stop arguing what you don't know. British Military plane ferried most of the NA troops to mali from Abuja, NAF C-130 only supported them by carrying the remaining troops from kaduna, and the identity of the pilot was not revealed, it can be NAF or NA pilot.

If NA pilots can handle helicopters perfectly then handling planes wouldn't be a problem for them, don't you know that flying helicopters is slightly more technical than airplanes.

gosh,if u hav any scar frm any surgery,forget it....they evict so many pple cos of dat.

xykms101: I think you should do the google things and stop arguing what you don't know. Naf didn't transport NA to mali, it was british warplane that ferried them to the peace keeping in mali.

british warplanes??u gat me rolling on d floor wit laughter.

I have one problem with we Nigerians, arguing what we don't know has been part of our problems in a long time, google is your friend,if there's anything you don't know you go to google and ask instead of laughing.

Don't mind that dude, Nigerian army has soldiers who fly them around though they may not have aviation wing yet but they certainly have pilots. That dude has forgotten that the Nigerain army is the largest component of Nigerian Armed Forces so why wouldn't they have their own pilots.
