Most likely training will commence February 2019.

GeneralFeezy:

Why can't graduates be at par with them? Their five years on analysis is that they spend 4 years on pure academics Nd 1 year on military training. So what's the difference with those who spent 4 years or more in regular universities and come to spend 9 months on pure military training?

There's a huge difference.

RC boys start serving jobs at year one.

As a RC cadets, your first 3months in NDA you won't know the road that leads to your class. You will be serving jobs. Does that happens in your civil University?


The Army RC boys start going to bush camp from year one to final year while Air Force and Navy stop bush camping in year two.

In your civil University,
do you serve jobs?
Do you attend bush camp?
In your civil institutions you have one month plus for vacation per semester. While NDA vacation is only two weeks.

Training in NDA for RC Army from year one to year four is MILITARY 40% ACADEMICS 60%.
Then year five is MILITARY 100%.


There's a difference ok.

MrSuama:
Don't get me wrong, all am saying is that the system is not fair.
We graduates ought not to be in the shadows of some officers called Regulars.

I hope someday the DSSC/SSC will metamophose into something like the U.S Marines. Yes the same Marines that tracked and brought down Osama Bin Laden.

Upon all the bragging by the Regular Combatants, the untrained Boko Haram insurgents are still giving them headache.
#Thesystemisnotfairtograduates.

Why shouldn't you be in their shadows? Do you know what those boys go through since their first day of assumption in the Academy?

Which regular Officer brags? Don't say what you don't know. If there's any personnel that brags that should be recruits not cadets.

Who told you that boko haram are untrained?
Are you aware that some bk boys are being trained outside the country.?

Are you aware that each bk boy is well armed unlike NA soldier who hardly gets equipments for war?

Have you being to the NE the heart of the war to see the weapons our soldiers are using and that of bk boys?

Speak don't come online to say what you don't know.

GenAnsahCinC, please kindly help me with the corps I'm best fit for.. I hold Bsc Environmental science and National Diploma environmental health but what is advertised is Environmental health worker (this is asking for someone to be registered and I'm not ) ..
I'm confused abeg help ur boy with the right information..
lastly sir, will Health and safety professional certificate be considered in case I'm opting for environmental health worker? cos I get that one (HSE 1,2$3)

Apply

walexy06:
Assuming after applying to DSSC one realizes SSC is best for him, can he reapply to SSC using diff mail and change few things abt BIO? with the intention to forgo DSSC initial application though

Why will one apply for DSSC and later realizes that SSC is best for him if that person wasn't in a hurry to apply?

I posted here earlier that no one should be in a rush to apply. Read instructions carefully then choose the one that best fits you.

Those who applied early or would apply early have no advantage over the ones who will apply late.

If you have already applied for DSSC and wants to change to SSC,

1. Let the face of the person on the SSC passport be different from the face of the person on the DSSC passport.

2. Let the degree certificate that was used to apply for DSSC be different from that of SSC. If you were using BSc to apply DSSC, use HND to apply SSC.

3. Let the name used to apply for DSSC be different from the name used to apply for SSC.

Good luck

Do recruits spend five years at the deport Zaria to get trained? I guess NO.
Recruits spend 9months SSC also spend 9months. So I strongly believe if a recruit can be deamed worthy to be called a soldier then Short Service Combatant should also be deamed worthy an officer. (Lt Gen. Ishaya Rizi Bamaiyi wasn't a regular but given the opportunity he performed exceptionally well.)

About bragging, I know what am saying sir. I attended NDA interview in 2012 and I saw how Terma 5 cadets were molesting SSC cadets at the dinning talk more of the name calling. It's just like the dichotomy between degree and HND holders, thank God the matter had been laid to rest. So we are hoping that the dichotomy between Regular and Short Service be resolved soon.

SSC disengagement should be based on inability to pass exams or perform duty and not otherwise.

Accepted Regulars are more physically trained but I doubt if they can also withstand the intellectual training we underwent in our various institutions.

And finally, NDA RSM as at 2012 shared an experience of how a fresh 2nd Lt from NDA on peace keeping mission started shivering when he heard the gun shots of rebels and ran out from his hiding place almost exposing other soldiers. And I ask you, after all the NDA training?

Am not here to argue or win an argument, all am proposing is fair treatment of officers irrespective of mode of entry.

I wish everyone a successful application.

Your first question is, if recruit spending 9months is worthy to be called soldier, why shouldn't a SSC spending 9months also worthy to the called an officer.

I want to ask, are SSC guys not addressed as officers? If they are, then it means that they are worhty an officer that's why they are been addressed as officers.

Concerning the bragging I thought you meant bragging about war.

It's a normal thing (a tradition) for RC to bad mouth SSC. When you get there even your instructor will let you know that RC guys are your boss.

Concerning Lt Gen Ishaya given the opportunity.

Who told you that SSC guys are not given opportunities?

Are you aware that SSC guys are GOCs?

The thing is, once you are qualified for a certain thing you will be given..

I don't believe we are even discussing this issue. Simply put, you don't learn what is taught at NDA for 5years no matter how long you spend at other universities.

Babatundeh26:

War is not about "learning". Some are good at it, natural geniuses of war, regardless of their training. Napoleon was a "RC", Wellington was a "SSC" both of them ended up as superlative officers because one is not trained to win wars. You either can or you cannot.

So forget all this talk of suffering, officers from all classes will get the chance to strut their stuff, for the sake of the nation, the best should be the one advanced.

For the record, I'm not insulting anyone, I assume we're just airing opinions here.

Please my future arty men help me out, for Nigerian army finance Corp we are required to be registered with the following professional bodies ICAN ANAN, ACMA, ACCA, ACA. Registration here is it the same as membership, cos ICAN takes like 3diets before you become chartered. Am puzzled �.

Registration with any of the following Professional Accountancy qualification is compulsory: ICAN, ANAN, ACMA, ACCA, ACA.

They are simply asking for certification and not registration !!!
Can you be a member of the above body (s) without being certified by them ?? My guess is nope ...

I really dont think this argument about RC and SSC is necessary. Thing is RC owns the army,,as an applicant of SSC or DSSC dont go in with the mindset that you are inferior. Dont defeat yourself mentally before you even get to serve. It can be tough atimes but just put in your best wherever you find yourself!!
## Stay positive!!!

Let me tell you a little thing about Nigerian military (Army in particular).

90% of things in the army need a godfather.

To get enlisted you need godfather. Very few get it by merit. And before you get it by merit you must be 100% qualified.

To get promotions in some cases, you need godfather (especially if you are RC or SSC) regardless whether you have passed the promotional exams or not. There will get to a point where your promotion will depend on godfather and not exams.

To get certain appointments you need godfather. There are many SSC who get good appointments than RC guys. Everything boils down to who you know in the system.

To be picked for missions and courses in foreign countries (in most cases) you need godfather.

To get service extension you need godfather.

There are officers who get retired once the reach the age limit for their ranks and their colleagues with the same age don't get retired. This is because the latter have godfather.

That professional certification you are being required to possessed only applies to applicants without strong networks.

If you have a strong network I urge you to apply. Whether you have ICAN or not you will be picked.

There are many people in the system who didn't meet the requirements but they are there.

I know three RC officers whose WAEC certificates were older than the required year as the time the apply for NDA and the were picked.
Two of them are Lt now. While one will be passing out next year.


The reason I told you earlier to go for NN or NAF was because those branches of service are a bit fair in their dealings compare to Army.

But if you have the big shot, apply for Army.
With or without being a member of any professional bodies you will be picked..


There are many things I'd like to tell you about the military but for some reasons I won't.


Just try your best.

I wish you success.

Make sure you know

1. Ranks in the Nigerian Army.

2. Names of service chiefs and their ranks and date they were appointed.

3. Names of ministers and the miniseries the head.

4. Dates of important events in and outside Nigerian.

5. A comprehensive essay on "why you want to join the army"

I believe alot of unnecessary questions can be avoided if we take our time to read the thread from the begining or atleast from page 70 upwards. Alot of questions here have being answered. We can't keep moving in circles.

For your question there is nothing like exams in Army or Airforce enlistment till you've being called for interview. So pray your name is picked first(which is done randomly).

By next year Jun cadets will be counting days to their pop..

Some1 told me without uploading all the required documents on the portal you can't complete the application.
