Please take everything you have said back. The problem is you are looking at everything from the point of view of a Nigerian, so you biased. Some countries do what you have mentioned but a lot don't.

No i am not. I am speaking form experience. There is politics in every military academy

You are speaking from experience as you know it being a Nigerian living in Nigeria. Are you saying the same applies to the U.S military? Just so you know, i am a NCO in the U.S army, so i know what i am talking about.

You are a NCO so you never went to any US military academy did you? You got in thru a recruiter? If you follow my post you will know where i live. was in a 4YRS AFROTC in college

Irrespective of which training or designation you undergo to be part of the service, the climate we have does not give room for what you have suggested. Every soldier is held to the 7 army values. Vice president Joe Biden Son was just kicked out of the military for conduct unbecoming of an officer. This is the son of the second most powerful person in the world. Why didn't his dad use politics to keep him in? To get in and graduate the military academy is solely based on merit. It is very simple: pass the asvab and you are in. Fail the asvab and you are out. There is no room for knuckle heads.

Missy89:


How do you think Biden's son who was in the reserves got into the prestigious position in the first place? You cant understand how academies work if you dont attend one. There is a big difference between following the rules once you are in and getting admitted in the first place. Go to any US military academy and you will see 3rd and 4th generation average officers that got on based on legacy because their father or grandfather was once a member of the Joint chiefs or a top brass in the pentagon.

I dont even need to argue this with anyone. Its like saying getting into an ivy league is based on merit.

You know what? I need my head examined for arguing with you. You are gathering snipets from google and wiki and throwing it together without understanding the basics. I am giving you first hand information. Being in the reserves does not mean you cannot be an officer or reach the highest grade in the service. The only difference is as a reservist, you are a soldier part time and is only activated to full time when a deployment comes up. After your deployment you go back to being part time. I'm done. Have a good weekend.

Missy89:


I hear you. I am gathering sinpets from Google and wiki and every officer in the US military got into the academies by merit and you are giving me first hand information because you are a NCO in the US army.

That's correct. And oh, i don't know how people get into ivy leagues because i am not in an ivy league school, but i do know how the U.S army works because i am a soldier.

This image shows that Nigerian army is rag-tag. Why can't they dress well? I think it is time to build military schools in the South, one in the West and one in the East. I am tired of seeing those Northern barbarians in actions!

Missy89:


But the topic is about Military academies which you never attended or did you? I asked earlier you didn't really answer the question, Instead you accused me of taking snipets online

Missy89:


NDA doesn't produce dull students?
You are mistaken training(endurance) for intellect(mental powers of a particular person). That is 2 different things.
You can train to be anything,That doesn't mean you are smart. Training sharpens your mind towards what you are taught and u have an advantage ONLY over a person that doesn't have the same training. That is why only few cadets can be a commanding officers even thou they all have the same training from the beginning. The mediocre ones would be wedded out after they leave college (some will still get CO positions based on connection thou)
@missy, u nailed it, do u have a relative in the army pls, ur explanations are so revealing and so vivid
Many average students get in everywhere. When u talk about first class or second class, you make it sound difficult. There is no big deal in getting a first class or a 2-1, 2-2 in any naija uni. I have seen many Niaja first class graduates flunk basic freshman algebra (no kidding) here.

clubone05:



bros they have several defence academies. ..west point is just the most prestigious. ..sekina..


and I can tell y2ou that the mind set of 99 % of the cadets at NDA is "graduate and chop money"..via corrupt appointments..

The Nigerian army are currently an embarrassment. ..I don't say this lightly.

SirShymexx:


Lmao @ an NCO who never attended a military academy, debating the politics involved with someone who attended one...and berating her, by accusing her of using google - hysterical. The guy is funny, though.

I'm enjoying ya shiit, MissyBigHead - educate that nyggah.

The 3rd eye is watching.
