mccoy47: I hail from a military background so i know what I'm saying, there are commissioned officers and the other ranks (ratings as u would have them in the navy) Commissioned offices are either from NDA, SSC (short service commission.... These ones are purely trained as combatants even with their university degree) or DSSC(direct short service commission..... Trained as professionals in their field of specialization and also combat) these are people with university degrees or NDA degree.... So also do we have different corps in the army, Navy, airforce. In the Army(which I'm conversant with ) there are combatants(infantry, artillery, signal, Military police, signal) and then there are professionals (medical, finance, engineers and so on and so forth?) You see these combatants whether general or private soldier, when there's need for deployment there are ranking officers whom are deployed (even though there's a greater number of other ranks) that deployed alike..... Even in the fight against insurgency professionals have also been deployed alike as their services are also needed, like medics and engineers.... For other ranks (UNCOMISSIONED soldiers) attaining the ranks of commissioned officers or attaining the highest ranks (it depends on their age and years in service) there are two ways 1. Executive commissioning (where haven served a number of years the army commissions you) 2. Commissioning ( where you apply and if selected go for the training) SO SAYING THERE'S ZERO CHANCE OF BECOMING OFFICERS IS NOT TRUE.... BE YOU COMMISSIONED OFFICER OR UNCOMMISSIONED SOLDIER EVERYONE DOES THE DIRTY JOB...... 3 Likes |

mccoy47: What about degree holders that enter the military via short service as 2nd Lieutenant? Are they commissioned too? Any bias towards them as against NDA graduates? |

The Nigerian Army structure is based on the British Army structure due to them being our colonial masters. The word "Commision" originally means someone who has sworn to abide by the Queen's Commision, this person has to undertake training to be an officer, commisioning applies only to those who are undergoing and have completed the basic officer course. |

fratermathy:Dey go for an crash course at NDA. Formerly it was 6months but now 9months. And yes there is a little bias against dem. The Cadets (those who spent 4yrs at NDA) get promoted quicker and are sort of respected more. Also chances of a non cadet exceeding a level 2 & above of senior officers (navy Commodore or it's equivalent in army or airforce) is slim. 3 Likes |

Steveinnovates: If u had noticed in my post. I carefully avoided the issue on who does the really dirty post. Yes u might argue on commissioned officers doing the dirty jobs too. But went someone issues orders for subordinates to follow, do u really call dat a dirty job? Now at the bolded. I never said the chances of a rating becoming a commissioned officer is zero. I said the chances of rating attaining the highest rank ( field marshal or it's equivalent) is zero. After spending years in the service as a rating lets say 20yrs. If you are finally commissioned to a sub lieutenant, what are ur chances of going through the ranks of an officer to become even a commodore For your 2nd scenario, a rating picking up an NDA form to become an officer is not considered a rating anymore as his file in the Military is not a continuation. 2 Likes |

DirtyGold:so u mean one starts from uncomissioned up yo commissioned? |
Re: The Ranks In The Nigerian Military: Army, Navy And Airforce. by DirtyGold: 4:31pm On Jan 11, 2017 |
Samgreguc:As a degree holder, you start as a commissioned officer with a lieutenant rank (**) through direct short service (DSSC). If you don't have a degree, you start as un-commisionned (other ranks... foot soldier). It is 100% advisable to join the military as a commissioned officer! Alternatively, if you are still young enough, join through NDA with your WAEC and graduate as a commissioned officer with second lieutenant (*). I hope you are better informed now? 2 Likes |
