I see the Army shortlisting 40 per state for SSC.

bolakale30:

It will be difficult to get one as it's usually state government issued rather than primary school

U can get it from schools u just need a sure link. This is Nigeria u can even get it outside the school the only problem is no record of that but when u get it in school they will add ur name to their log.

CaptainStephen:
you are good to go if its not your front teethes and dont have beyond salvageable decays, i was also missing a tooth during my medicals, that was 10 years ago sha

thanks

Any hope for flat foot or gap tooth?

Mafialeader:
this teeth issue sef, i had mine removed since 2009 and its at the extreme left side of my mouth and no visible at all sef.

Importance is not really attached to the last molars. So you should scale through with that. The premolars, incisors and cannines should b present and be in good condition

Nothing wrong with gap tooth.
But flat foot has a problem. They don't want it at all because such people can't wear boots for long.

I'm sorry if this issue has been treated before, but I would like to ask again. I don't have a First leaving school certificate. I didn't complete primary 6. But I have a sworn affidavit. Any advice for me please help! I intend to apply for the DSSC.

O boy listen up...
If you can get Testimonial from ur primary school, you are good to go.

FSLC has been stopped. Schools just issue Testimonial and that's all.

Caveat though, I am talking about Lagos and Kwara. I don't know if that's applicable to every other state in Nigeria.

I finished primary school in 2003, and all I got was a Testimonial from my primary school and that's all.

So if you go and runs FSLC from one place and u input a year in which FSLC was no longer issued, o boy u don jones be that ooo

Just go to ur school and get ur Testimonial, make sure ur DOB, NAMES and Years are correct.
You are good to go.
Good day.

Doesn't matter if ur Testimonial doesnt have ur DOB. Just make sure other dates on it makes sense with ur age.

Are you SSC?

Gentle Men cadets

I think almost all questions that have been asked has one way or the other revolved around how the interview is going to be, but why can't you all move further to ask these gentle men officers these following questions on when enlisted what actually happens sometimes as to give you more morale of kill the one you have already.

@Sherrif232 and @mangojuice can you cracked officers help the intending cadets share your experiences at training which could be much but would be glad if you could treat these questions with the answers if not more for those enthusiasts wishing to know more than just the surface.

1. Most of the intending cadets would like to know how, when selected how is it inside as per SSC and DSSC like how would the cadets be welcomed..? Like would they start hunching from the gates and the likes how would they be given their battalions and their kits any grooming party and stuffs of that nature.

2. How is training like e.g first 3 months would it be bloody is it all about jobs and all, how do people buy job and how's it paid for, obstacle crossing going to visit various formations, what drills are taught and as from what month to what month e.g matching, weapons handling e.t.c Bush camping is it done how and where, are there classes what are being taught and all.

3. As some joined for the pay would you be as kind as giving them the range as for SSC being a lieutenant and DSSC being a 2nd Lieutenant their salary and perks are they given allowances how is the allowance paid and all what other packages and benefits are there when one joins as oppose some other jobs, as well as what they get when in camp e.g what they would be paid in camp and what they are entitled to. after camp would they be given a huge bucks like a sign on fee to be able to set up their house and get a ride and stuffs like that because some see it as a means to get out of unemployment others see it as a means to upgrade pay so that they would know what they are getting into.

4. The HTACOS can you please explain to them how it's run I.e how many years from one rank to another how many exams one needs to pass run out date on rank based on age and the likes so they know what they are facing so as not to be stagnant, as well as to calculate their ages and know their fits and their last laps and how promotions are done.

5. Are appointments given to cadets in camp just like the regulars that get appointments and what are those appointments and what do they mean and their duties and pros and cons as well.

6. Are SSC and DSSC cadets sent for courses abroad just like the regulars that the best in a field in the three arms are sent abroad to go complete his/her training is that also found there or after pipping is there any way they give best in anything where such is sent on courses abroad.

7. And accommodation after being commissioned how is it done like we all know there are barracks almost all over the country how is it done and given out duo almost everything is delapedated can one get his own accommodation outside and rent is there any support like allowance paid for those not staying in the barracks and all.

8. In terms of pass i.e going out not AWOL how many passes are given to both the SSC and DSSC and what does pass entails.

9. Hows the POP going to be preparations on terms of drills matching and how's the launch and dinner of POP going to be.

10. How are deployment letters given is it same day or when and how are you guys mobilized to go to your new unit were you guys given breaks before resuming work fully.

I don't mind gentle men officers writing epistle on each questions so as to get the intenders more grounded for what they are about to face information is power but when used as well as when harnessed from the right channel.

I think @lebete3000 can also share part of his experience he had in DSSC as well.


The army job is not a job for all, its a job well bought and well served.

Intending cadets stop assuming
You would suffer is that clear..?
What is clear..?

You all would be cracked to be born again is that clear...?

This is so we won't have deserters when they all come for training or saying had I known I wouldn't have left my civilian job, so as not to loose on both ends, as well as to give space to others who are willing, able and ready.

I think I would stop here for the intending cadets more can also be asked if they so wish.
