You know that NDA already trains officers with degrees in engineering who are much younger and with additional military staff duty competencies. The best situation to join DSSC is in areas that NDA don't train officers. Medical, IT etc

Joeyfizzo:
na not true. Better he gets his degree n join thru DSSC or SSC.... Because he will have a certificate to fall back to when he's no longer interested in the job in d future.

true tho....u are correct. Even in Medicine dey train officers but not in NDA tho.. they send young officers to universities to study medicine for 6 gud years
after graduating from NDA so they can be Director of Medical services in the future.

This was the case before, but not anymore. its cost effective for the military to enlist already trained doctors. If you have finised residency even better. You will be promoted to Major, Squadron Leader or Lieutenant Commander within 3-4 yrs of entry.

Choose another career path - writing a book, starting a blog, learning to code, going into farming, learn to cook. Provide a service or product or idea that the world needs and cannot do without. In the near future, the military will become redundant, as most wars will be fought over the cyberspace, except in Africa where soldiers will remain pawns in the hands of military contractors and arms dealers.

I think dey still do it...I know a Ltcdr a regular officer I think he's 55RC who is in his 6th year studying medicine in UI

Joeyfizzo:
let him go for wat he wants....don't discourage him. If der is no one in the military who will protect u. Abeg jare.

Why don't you go for it since it's too good for you? You are looking for will die for nothing in the name of protecting you. There's everything wrong with the army of today, southern soldiers are being ambushed and killed by terrorists that have infiltrated the army...and you are here talking absolute rubbish.
I told him d truth like I'd tell my own friend or brother. It's left for him to make his choice. If you don't like it, hang urself.

1. Follow your heart and choose between the two options you mentioned.


2. Nigerian army doesn't discrminate between Degree and HND (a Captain classmate of mine has HND in Printing technology)


Majority of commentors here are hopeless youth who have nothing to offer but tribalism, so be warn!
Your tribe or religion doesn't matter to Nigerian Army

Goodluck

Joining the military via short service combatant , you must be a graduate , within 27yrs of age and above 27yrs if you studied professional courses like medicine n co. I guess you can't pass the rank of a major before you retire. I have attended the interview .

This one you are crying on my mention can simply be referred to as the "last kick of a dying horse".

You should spend what little time you have left on important things rather than bickering like a woman with PTSD on nairaland. For all we know, you might be posted to Borno soon to replace the soldiers that died today.

P.S

There's a huge difference between wisdom and bravery Or foolishness and cowardice.
What you think is bravery is actually foolishness on ur part. If you die now, you die for nothing. Nobody will ever remember you.

What you call cowardice is actually wisdom on my own part, for choosing not to throw away my life for a govt that couldn't care less if I died for it or not.

So Mr brave soldier, ur abuses don't mean anything. U are feeling sad with urself and taking it out on the world. I pity you really. One day, you will remember today.

Veggieseedies:

He would will his girlfriend to you and will his phone to his girlfriend.

If he has a good business, or properties would he be looking to join NA with no dignity.. army that kills peaceful protesters

since he want to commit suicide nah... let me wish him rip in advance now until the new hit front page here

Hehe, you wish. Boko terrorists dey U.S?
So, u and ur own family will definitely be located first. Especially you.

If truly, you are a southern soldier, any day wey you go desert that army, na thunder go fire you. Keep crying on my mention, if that will make u feel better, but I'm done reading/replying ur trash.

lol.... Thank God they are terrorists in the US .... They will locate u and ur entire family. Idiot...lol. ... Low class citizen of the US...lol.

I see, its certainly very rare. The army and Airforce certainly not. Most 55RC should have completed or been going to AFCSC Jaji on Senior Staff Course at this time . Anything is possible in the Navy sha

Joeyfizzo:
I think dey still do it...I know a Ltcdr a regular officer I think he's 55RC who is in his 6th year studying medicine in UI

LegendPV:
1..Try to obtain a Degree and make it a priority, if it doesn't work out that's when u opt for HND... E get why, though the Army doesn't discriminate among the Two.. Same ranking and same pay

2. After conversion, to Regular, that's after your probation... The sky is your limit, though you'll have to compete with the better preferred RC - the NDA graduates... But today we have a lot of SSC officers who are Major Generals.... We've had a COAS once in the past who was SSC


Note : make sure you're Medically and physically fit... Maintain your health till then

to get commissioned into the Nigerian Armed Forces is highly competitive, so ensure to have a back up plan
The final shortlist for Army SSC this year had 8 people per state, Navy DSSC had just 2+1 reserve per state

So try get back up plan o

please would it be wise to apply for N.D.A at my age (20) or just go through a regular university then join afterwards?

why didn't you get in? After the interview?

stephennel:

The best way to enjoy the been in the armed forces is to be a regular.
So, if you ain't above 21 just apply for NDA. You can read more on it

I heard it's very hard to get it without knowing somebody? And please what are my chances of being admitted because I heard it's very competitive.

Balofariojames:
Nothing bad in joining NA I have tried it in the year 1990 but not suceed.
Should we try to excuse our self southerner from joining, then the whole southerner are In trouble in future.mark it!.
The office work we are waiting for do not exist except you are from them.
my town man was alive in NA as I wrote.
But please try to be enlisted through NDA
And if not at least you will not be jobless.

is it very hard for someone to go through n.d.a? And please what are my chances of making the n.d.a final shortlist?

pavoda:
Apply to NDA is a Regular Combatant Cadet. You will do better that way. You would be able to build a much stronger brotherhood across all 3 armed services compared to Short Service or Direct Regular where only a single arm(DSSC Army) trains for the entire period. So you may not even have course mates in the real sense from the Airforce or Navy, this would limit your opportunities in tri service SETUP. if you Join the army as A DSSC OFFICER WITH AN ENGR QUALIFICATION, it would be extremely competitive in service because the NDA already churns out ENGR who are also competent in other aspects of Military duties. So yes you would have disadvantages. But if you are still less than 26 on entry and you have competency to excel in staff training at JAJI AND OTHER Young officer courses that will benefit you in your career.

am I guranteed admission into the n.d.a as long as I meet all the requirements because I heard I need to know someone before applying for n.d.a cos the screening process is very hard

phyiktor:
Why not go to NDA and forget university you can still study the course you want there instead of wasting years in the university and polytechnic you intend going and no rank limit if you go through NDA..there is only rank limit for those who finished from the university and later join the army through short service... since you pass diz just conclude jamb exam and you really want to join the army I will advise go for change of institution and put Nigeria defense academy as ur first choice

I heard the the form sales has been closed that I have to wait till next year...

ANDREW91:

I will advice u to get ur computer science degree through the NDA. Do a change of institution and use NDA instead of wasting years in normal universities

I heard it's hard to get in...do you know howany they accept per year?

ANDREW91:

I am currently 20 years old and I can't apply for n.d.a again this year....and by next year I'll be 21 which is the age limit..so I have just one shot at it...

Your chances are your preparations and you yourself..... But the first thing needed is sound academics

U can join the nigerian army as a recruit and further ur education through military schools and to become a higher ranking officer,just like a senior bros I know that used to cuts my hair many years ago,he joined the army as a recruit and went to school he is now a major and medical personel in the nigerian army.
