Do not be discouraged by the comments u see here op.
If u have the passion for the job go for it but be determined any wing of armed forces is not a joke. If u are someone that think military is for flexing pls don’t try it. As someone said in a group that most past and present top officers and generals joined with passion which makes them succeeded in the profession so you have to know what u are signing for. There are a lot of graduates like u who has joined. Don’t mind anybody.

Few people have guided u here. There are two options for graduates.

DDSC and SSC( direct short service commission and short service combatant).
Dssc are for professionals with professional bodies and practicing license. Thou there are few regular courses that always pop up under Dssc category for example If u are a graduate of biochemistry, statistics and some courses I have forgotten u will fit under ORDINANCE CORP and mind you options changes every year.
Ssc is mainly for all graduates irrespective of your course of study and this is majorly combat role. Nysc discharge certificate is a MUST.

Another thing to take note is your age. According to last year Dssc/Ssc recruitment the age for
Dssc candidates start from 28-40yrs
Ssc candidates from 18-27yrs. Here again age requirement also changes every year.

A word of advice to you op as u are trying applying to army also try navy and airforce as well and lastly as Nigeria settings is you have to know someone that know someone BUT you can also get it on merit. Good luck!!!.


You are just giving him theoretical fact. In reality, joining the army is one of the worst things to do at this time
Re: I Have A BSc Degree And Want To Join The Army by NLKing01: 3:53pm On Sep 13, 2021
I hope you are not from the South? A guy close to me just ran away from NDA last month when they were frustrating life out of those from the South. According to him, people from Borno and other Northern state are given preference treatment. On a particular day before he left, the northern guys started entering hostels breaking things and beating anyone that could not speak their language. My guy manage to escape and ran for his dear life

As much as I wish you well. Your chances are as narrow as needle's mouth.

You have to know someone. Not just someone but from "very high" place.

Two things are involved:

1. You don't read news.
2. You don't have any compassion for your parents.
Lol. . .most likely the later. I recommend that the parents quickly invite Kanayo O. Kanaya for necessary action at least they can't lose two things "time/money spent on him and the fact that he has decided to take a suicide mission".

That would mean applying for Direct service which is usually a 6months programme, since you already have a degree.

It's quite competitive to get in. Because, I knew then that it was 4 people per state. Starts with about 16 candidates and narrows down after the tests. Your course of study would apply, if it's something that is hot cake and not very common.

The assessment is quite tough. They check you medically/physically (you come in with only your briefs and they check every single thing even to the number of your balls). The educational assessment is in front of a group of generals and they will ask you questions from your course of study.

The last is the fitness test. You are to run 3.2km in about 5 or 10mins (I don't quite remember).

I have full info on how you can join the military, I have friends in there, I have brothers in there and I have cousins too in the military and all are in senior officers position from Col to brigadier general.
But I will not advice you to join the military at this time there are crises in every part of the country, you might not even have a stable life plan as you will be posted almost every 4months to different part of the country.
You have got a good grade from the university, I will advice you to go for your masters in the UK or US

I will register Ssc recruitment by 2024,
I tink i will need ur help sir,

The process is simple but the conditions very difficult. If you are eventually admitted, you will be through the Direct Regular Course where you will spend eighteen months to become an officer.

There is a cavaet however.

You may have to live with the fact that some of your mates will be promoted rapidly while you rot on the same level for a while.

But its an interesting journey all the way.


From an ex officer candidate back in the day. 1994,1995,1996,1997.

Good luck boss
