The canvas required to face the board mustn't be a white canvas, but it shouldn't be black or red. Just get a moderate canvas, and the color shouldn't be too shouty, and you're good to go.

While I agree that the Army should do better in specifying the colour of the canvas in the instruction, I will strongly advise that you buy white canvas. During my time, candidates who wore colours that were not white suffered. They were unnecessarily picked on and victimised. Just wear white to avoid too much begging and explanation.

Officer, I faced the board during course 26 at falgore, made the final list, though I was placed on reserve. The first reserve from my village.

Some of us who faced the board didn't wear white canvas, in fact the first 2 names on the final list for training from my village didn't use white canvas when we faced the board.

But I advice people to get white canvas, though it's not a must you wear white canvas. If it was, the Army will state very clearly.

My father's army no dey joke with instructions, if dey want specific thing dem go talk am. #Shalom

What do you mean by leading people astray? Don't misquote me please, I never said anyone shouldn't use white canvas, I only said it's not compulsory. And I insist, it is not compulsory.

eclipsehemmy:

My friend hold your peace, if the army wants to make it compulsory, they would have definitely stated it in the instructions to candidates.

Torh a wise man who believes he will be selected will buy white in anticipation of being selected for training. But if you are born of the barrel of a GPMG, you can decide to use red or pink based on say there was no instruction sha.

I heard the weather at IBADAN is friendly. How true?

he even call me my friend

I also faced board at falgore course 26 (CANVELED). Actually the idea is to look smart when facing board. Soldiers and officers were like "are you going to face senior men like that? My friend go and shave, bring out your reserve white shirt and if you don't have, make sure you wash the one you're wearing before your state turn"

Some candidates were wearing jersey green short for the exercise but once you're to face board. They will caution you to change in other to increase your chance of selection.

Thanks to everyone for their opinion concerning the white canvas thing. I really appreciate. Though it wasn't stated so it's not compulsory, however, I will get one pair just incase ...... May God crown our efforts

Leave am make him deh follow instruction. People in service are telling you what to do, you say army no write am, is okay.
It's obvious your matter deh village square.

You don use canvas colour chop all the time you get to ask Officers
1. how to cordinate yourself when you enter to face the board. (Are you to sit before you are asked to)
2. which kind questions to expect from board based on your course of study.
3. what to say when you have no idea about the question asked.

Bros, during my last attempt with the revered @eclipsehemmy, @Ugo4u, @Prospect, @Deraa and a host of others at the butched dssc course 26 pro max, we had many things to worry about, the least being the colour of canvas to face board.

Infact, I used a size 46.5 blue trainers because i couldn't get a white one that would not hurt my feet for the routine but had an unused white canvas, white socks and white round neck t-shirt i solely kept in order to faceboard. That is the standard. Your aim is to outsmart your village men at all cost.

Some good hearted people also give out their white canvas to friends if they are dropped after medicals to help boost their chances while others wait for their friends to face board first, then they borrow the white canvas to face board.

You think board members would remember they didn't state "white canvas" when awarding you marks for appearance when all your village men decide to show up with white canvas?

Reason am

Physical examination was written, please our snr brothers, what kind of questions should we expect.

Is weather now an issue for you? Any weather that is not in north, u are good to go just know that you Might seat under the sun sha

Why can't we all do the right thing, getting white canvas and blue short won't do you anything. When facing the board, u have to look smart infact rsm will tell you.

So medical before physical and examination?

Candidate, below is the standard sequence for some years,

Documentation
On arriving the venue of the interview, some Officers are stationed to do documentation for each state and you will be giving a tag number( a blue apron with your state code and number). For example, your name on the list might be 1st but you were the 15th to arrive interview venue and you are from Kaduna, after documentation, you would be given a tag number randomly, say KD56. It is with this KD56 that you would be referred to any time your attention is needed. Documentaion usually happens on the first and second day of screening.
Credentials Vetting
The screening and vetting of credentials begins on the second day for those who arrived early on the first day. This is where the Officer vetting your credentials would check age disparity on your certificates, forged documents, fake certificates and so on, this takes another 2days or so.
First Moment of Truth
After the completion of the credential screening, the Selection Board sits and candidates with discrepancies beyond army's reasoning are called out with their state codes, marched to the their tenth or hostel, where they pack their belongings, then they are escorted with tight security out of the screening venue like thieves who have come to still the mandates of their village men.
Medical Examination
If you successfully scale the credential screening, the next hurdle is the almighty medical examination. Here the army have the ability to see ailments that are hereditary in your family. They also have the ability to see ailments that no other hospitals can see. Infact, they have the ability to see your potential to develop some ailments. Candidate, army can say you are positive to an ailment and immidiately you are sent home, you decide to go to Natioanl Hospital Abuja to recheck yourself only to find out you are negative to that ailment.(Children of serving and retired Generals sometimes find themselves in this shoes)
Candidate only the will of God can make you scale Medical Examination. Below are some of the things you would be checked on
a. Bp
b. Eye sight (short and long sight)
c. Flat foot
d. Number of testicles( you would be unclad infront of the doctor female or male as the case may be and you would show her how many testicles you gat)
e. Pile: while unclad, the doctor would ask you to cough strongly like 2 to 3 times, then you would be asked to turn your back. After that the doctor would ask you to bend down to touch your toes, so that your anus can be examined for the presence of pile.
f. Urine: Urine samples are also collected to test for some ailments am not sure of.
g. Blood samples are also collected to test for HIV and a host of other ailments am not sure of
h. Height is also measured to ascertain you are within the range
i. Teeth check
j. Hernia check
k. Tatoo check
l. ECG
m. Chest X-ray
o. Fasting sugar (diabetes)
And a host of others i can seem to remember. The medicals lasts for like 5 to 6 days.
Second Moment of Truth
After the medicals have been concluded for all states, the Selection Board converges again and the candidates unfortunate to have been detected to have one ailment or the other are called out. Usually, the calling is alphabethically. so you here, candidates if you here your number fall out. The tension in the atmosphere at this period is unexplainable. Who no go, no go know.
The affected candidates are marched to their tenths to take their belongings and excorted to the gate of the venue under tight security.
3.2 Km race
After the medicals, candidates are made to run the 3.2 km race under 15 minutes. After the race, candidates are grouped in cages basesd on how they arrived. in time past, the race was also used to disqualify candidates but things have changed. It seems candidates are no more disqualified based on their inability to comlete the race within 15 minutes.
If the army decides to use the race as a disqualifying round, the ladies are allowed to start the race 3 minutes earlier than the males and when the 15minutes elapses, the gate of heaven is closed. Anybody outside the gate of heaven is marched to his hostel under tight security to pack his belongings, then excorted out of the training venue.

I think this is the farthest i have been lucky to reach in all the screenings i have attended.
I also skipped the Pschology test that comes during the medicals or after medicals where you would be asked questions that if you lie at the begining you must lie to the end.

Note: every screening comes with its own modifications. Other officers are free to make corrections and additions to this piece.
And I wish every applicant who made the list the very best.

This here is a vivid and very clear description of what you will face at the screening exercise.
After the running, push up, sit up and beam heaving.... please manage and do the best you can, push your body o, Then if you ain't lucky you will write exams that same day, small Maths, English and general knowledge, then you will write the normal Normal essay writing on why you want to join the Nigerian Army or how relevant your course of study is to the Nigerian Army.
After the exams gear up to face the board, its done state by state. And you will face at least 10 to 15 officers at least and someone from your speciality will ask you questions , then anybody from the board members can also ask any current affair or general knowledge questions. Then start praying because it doesn't end there.....
