They're the same because you need two references.
1 should be either your local government chairman/secretary
the other should be a personnel from the armed forces.

Kapish?

Una wan use laugh tear my intestine.


That's by the way. Your height can't be 65cm even dwarfs no short reach that level . Since you said you used a Tailors tape then it's 65inches which is approximately 1.65m.
As for the choice of exam venue, it's very simple and clear; choose any location/venue that is convenient for you.

That's my WhatsApp incase if anyone is willing to give me a one on one mentorship through the application process.
Thanks alot bosses.

Turn the other part of the measuring tape to read the measurement correctly or maybe I think you mean 165cm=1.65m and as for your weight using BMI your normal weight range should be between 55-65kg. So you can fill anything within this range

Concerning the exam center it's not compulsory for you to choose your state capital but the state you prefer.

Thank you sir.

sikowitz17:
Ugo.. abeg you still sabi that calculation for BMI.. the height and weight calculation? Be like say I don fat small

Your weight ÷ by the square of your height

E.g weight 55kg,. HEIGHT 1.7m

BMI = 55÷ (1.7)²
55÷2.89
19

Common sense dey say is not common, the answer you seek is already there due to your nonchalant attitude and not ready to take responsibility you didn’t deem it fit to go through the thread to get everything you need. Abi you think there’s a shortcut to anything in this life.

Bringing this back!!

There are 5 types of commission in the Nigerian Army (NA) – Not Armed Forces. They are:

Regular Combatant (RC). Training takes 5 years.
Short Service Combatant (SSC). Training takes 6 – 9 months.
Direct Regular Combatant (DRC). Now attained on conversion from DSSC.
Direct Short Service Combatant (DSSC). Training takes 6 – 9 months.
Executive Commission (EC). Training takes 2 – 3 months.
Details of such commissions are to be found in the Harmonized Terms and Conditions of Service (TACOS) for officers of the Nigerian Armed Forces but a summary goes thus: RC and SSC are combatants, trained to fight battles. Others are not meant to be combatants.

Both SSC and DSSC are of relatively short duration of 15 years and must convert to RC and DRC respectively to enjoy a longer career. Theoretically, RCs and DRCs can rise to become generals i.e Brigadier Generals, Major Generals etc. Remember the pyramid structure? The higher it gets, the smaller it becomes. In other words, many are called but only a few are chosen.

DRC’s are mainly professionals – surgeons, pharmacists, chaplains, surveyors etc. and are usually not found in the core combat arms of Infantry, Armour and Artillery but are to be found in the Army Engineers and Signals. EC’s are made up of former soldiers and do not usually exceed the rank of Major.

There are varying criteria for the various commissions. In reality, the advantage is more on the side of those who were originally RC,s than those who were originally SSC,s in terms of age, rank in the Nigerian army, numbers etc. However, anything can happen, for instance Lt. Gen. Ishaya Bamaiyi (rtd.) rose to become Chief of Army Staff (COAS), even though he wasn’t originally an RC. Although DRCs may never become COASs or General Officers Commanding (GOCs), they can apart from being Staff Officers also hold command posts in corps or services in which they predominate. These include Education, Medical and Finance among others.

Life in the Army here in Nigeria can be promising, particularly now that efforts have been made to consolidate emoluments, but achievement of success or wealth in the Army (here in Nigeria as well as is in other countries) is a product of motivation and determination. If you want to live well, you will. If you don’t, you won’t. The choice is really yours! For RC or DRC, minimum years of service is about 15 years and life as a cadet can be quite strenuous.

Generally, training is in the Infantry Corps Centre and School (ICCS), Jaji, Kaduna State. As for the DSSs and ECs, their training is usually less strenuous, not as in NDA where RCs and SSCs are trained. Cadets are usually humorously welcomed with the euphemism, “Unfortunate Nigerians, you will nearly die but you will not die!” But you should survive if you are physically fit after all, many have gone before you.

As a cadet, you are entitled to allowances which may not really cater for your family if you have one but could go a long way to help you sustain yourself.

I believe we are all grown ups here, please we should all learn to correct one another in love. No single person knows it all, if you feel you can't give answers without abuse or insult of any kind it's best you waka pass.

I think the reason for the sarcastic answer is just to make fun. Its not aimed at abusing or insulting anyone. Most people are just too serious and cannot flow with a harmless joke

Lol
Some people are funny sha.
You want to join army and can't take sarcastic comments.
When those small boys in aca will issue you threat statements in a joking manner, you'll want to fight them abi?
Don't worry, time will tell

Small jokes people will be forming too serious. Reach NDA where small children will openly tell you they'll finger f.uck your mother and you can't even show emotion.
