Stop being ignorant. No one pulls out of the military anytime they wish. Your resignation must be approved and one of the criteria is a minimum of 10 years of service or at least 2 tours of duty. Anything other than that is mutiny.
OP have sense . you are not in the system so I won't argue with you |

I don't understand. with your hnd you can apply for officer cadre when the recruitment portal is open. But for non commission officer cadre you can only use your ond and sch cert. |

Good day house. I have been offered admission into the university and also shortlisted for Nigeria Air Force (recruit)
Please I am really confused on which to pick. I have done registration for my school and I really don't want to miss this opportunity of job. Please your advice and criticism is welcome. I want to let you know that Air force salary for Airman (recruit) is about 70k including your allowance. If you are lucky to be involved in Internal Security Operation, you will have another take home of about 46k every month. In this case, you have 116k every month. If you choose Air force, you will only sell your peace and continue until your salary gets to about 200k after serving for not less than 30 years. You can also decide to finish your degree before applying so that you can be an officer with basic salary of about 200k. The decision is yours. 1 Like 1 Share |

You can run both depends on the location and where the training will take place My advice is take the job then after sometime, apply for a part time study in any of the universities close to where you are stationed But before then find out if the other officers do apply for permission to study Once you graduate you apply for upgrade That's what is obtained But am sure you have to work for 2 yrs before you can go for any study |

Your level of reasoning leaves a lot to be desired. A harsh economy is the more reason he should seek for the best rather than settle for the worse. Something tells me this would be hard for you to understand so I'll just let you be. The something is right. I won't understand, and am not even ready to understand. Thank you |

Difficult one I must say but I advise you go with the force. Subsequently you can further and add your result.
After 7 years as a guest, after 2 months being a registered Nlander, my first FTC. I Dedicate this space to you OP.
Use both hands accept this Air Force offer. Tor He enlisted as a recruit. It will be easier for a carmel to pass the eye of a needle than him getting a presidential commissioning. |

There are two different sectors, Commissioned those that got employed with their degrees/master Degree, their pay is okay about 160k for Freshers, and the Non-commisioned the one the OP is trying to do, he only needs his SSCE, about (sorry) 55k for Freshers.
The OP should look at the kind of course he got, if its very lucrative, he should forget about Air Force, and be very prayerful. He can still apply for short service of 'Commisioned' after attaining his degree. u you are wrong with the figures |

I see a lot of peeps advising you to chose being an airman than getting an adequate education. After serving 25yrs as an airforce recruit, a newly commissioned officer with a degree certificate will still rank above you. I don't know why people have this primitive mentality of grabbing anything that comes their way because the cowards are afraid of tomorrow. If you are above 23yrs, you can enroll into the airforce, if not, enroll into the school and get educated. Education is not just about getting work; it sets you up and equips you for the life journey ahead.
Just know that if you enroll into airforce now, their is a limit to what you can achieve in the future. your promotion is capped at a certain limit. With an adequate education, you can soar higher than what you are dreaming of right now. Don't be myopic. Please I would love to ask you a question bro. |

OP. Please go to school. You can try to join the Airforce again after your tertiary education. You will be lucky if you can go to the University when you join the force as a recruit.
They will frustrate you with day and night duty, you won't have time for tertiary education. But I heard they give people opportunity to study? |

Forget that RECRUIT of a thing and enter university, I believe that better day is ahead of you. Since it's not an NDA admission just forget it, you will be subjected to suffering as a recruit. I am in the same shoe bro. |

A Master warrant officer which is the highest rank you can get to as a recruit earns just a little above 100k. An Air craft man, which is the rank he will start with is about 50k. Please don't advise this young man wrongly.
A recruit is different from an officer.
OP, please go to the University, spend four years in school, do NYSC and try the Air Force again. Then you will earn well.
If you join the Air Force as a recruit, I bet you won't have the chance to go to the University in the next five years; you might have the chance much later if you are lucky. I heard they recruits chance to study? |

Go for your education. Don't for any reason think that you will easily further your education after you get the Airforce job. Easier said than done.
You won't have the time.
Go and grab your degree, develop a side hustle to make some money for yourself while you study. You can join later if your are lucky enough as a commissioned Officer with your degree.
Don't say I didn't tell you. I know fully well what is involved. So does the "you can further your education" used by the NAF a scam? Please explain to me bro. |

This is the best advise I have seen here. I have brothers (same parents), uncles and aunties and plenty friends who have taken both options and believe me those that enter with ssce are greatly regretting, many have finished their degrees now, with CAN and Masters/PGDs but couldn't get converted to officer cadars. They are now at staff sergeants, airmen/airwomen, after 15 - 17yrs of service both in the Army and Airforce. On the flip side, their counterparts that entered with degrees as officers are now majors. The youngest with about 10yrs of service are now lieutentnts earning over 200k per month.
NEVER ENTER MILITARY WITH SSCE, DO YOUR DEGREE, EVEN IF NA IRK OR CRK, THEN JOIN SHORT SERVICE. send me PM if you want us to talk more. I can even connect you to both categories so you can hear from them directly.
Alot of Nairalanders are ignorant, they will advise u on what they know nothing about.

Well you are not right with the salary you mentioned though... but like you said this is a great gamble for the Op... I passed through similar situation.. I joined the Army with my SSCE.. after which i struggled to further my Education and today am a presidential commissioned Officer in the Navy. Still have some of my friends struggling with no Job even after Uni. Now my advise: if the course the Uni offered you is Medicine then go for it otherwise Join the Airforce you won't regret. But if i were you... i would try and find a way to secure my admission until i am fully enlisted into the force... cos it can be dicey at times. And always seek the face of God and i wish the OP the best. sir is it possible to get the airforce job,go to school and still reapply for short service |

Thomanad:
Hope you know much about the Air force bro.
This shortlist is just for the screening which is stage 1. After this stage another list of those who passed will be released for stage 2 screening. Stage 2 is the medical screening at Kaduna. After which the final list would be released, these are the ones that would proceed on training in Kaduna.
I would advice you go ahead with your university admission.
Reasons:
1. You are not even sure of making it to the training stage, unless you have a godfather of course.
2. You would be in the 'other rank' cadre. Do you know the humiliation we go through?
3. When you see officers ( those in the commissioned officer cadre) after you might have joined the service, you will regret joining with an ssce cert.
4. Don't think going to school in the military is very easy o. It is when you join that you will understand. Going to school is very very very difficult.
Go ahead with your university admission, get your degree, then come back and join with your degree. You will be a commissioned officer, and you will command those that joined even before you were born (other rank though).
Just my point of view....... if anyone disagrees, just read and pass.
