0G 30 of 28 batallion.... You're not on our whatsapp group chat, you didn't drop your contact?

Yeah CM, I dropped my number, I don't know what's wrong. I have sent you a mail please kindly check so that I give you my number to add me to the group chat

Candidate!!! How is your morale
let's keep our morale high and continue to zero our mind till we hang the pip, after hanging the pip we still continue to zero our mind till we retire. is that clear

Missing NDA already! missing the parade! missing the early morning bread served with tea like water around 6am. missing the push ups by Sergeant Dauda, missing the punishment and flogging by Corporal Friday. Lol. I can still feel the mark of the flogging he gave me at my back.

Victory is from Almighty God alone.

I rep SSC 45. OG 30

This life Sha! Person wey get head no get cap and vice versa.

I have got all my documents signed two weeks after the NA form was released (SSC) , I traveled a far distance in order to get my local government form signed, I even went as far as travelling to meet the senior Army officer to sign my reference form. I got the Attestation letter from my former institution also. No documents were left out! all these were done within two weeks the form was released.

I also make sure I did 95% medical the Army would conduct during the screening. including ECG report. i was good to go 99% because i have examined myself. And I said it to myself that the only thing that could hinder me from being selected by the board on day of the interview is if am not destined for the job. All these effort were done because of the strong passion I have for the Nigerian Army.


Since on the 27th of December of 2018 they released the list, which I also believe I will be among 1-3 applicants that first bought the Punch paper to check for the list, I bought the paper around 7am in my area, because I believe the list would be published either 27th or 28th December based on the information I got here on Naira land. Immediately I checked the paper and didn't see my name , within seconds I started feeling somehow in my body which I eventually collapse, I was heartbroken and sick because It was unbelievable! (for an important reason) Am just getting over the sickness since then. ALHAMDULILAH,. ALLAH KNOWS BEST!

If I just look at all my complete Army documents that I filled here I just smile, that documents that I have gathered a very long time some people are just running Helter Skelter to get them. SUCH IS LIFE!

How I wish I can give all my Army documents to successful candidate to go and use for the screening. Lol.

Congratulations to all the successful candidate shortlisted for the interview. So sorry this is coming late.

MENS SANA INCORPORE SANO


VICTORY IS FROM ALMIGHTY GOD ALONE.

erimakosamuel:
Amen oh.

Thanks bro

Sheriff, @Mango juice, @Odimbannamdi, @Ugo4U @erimakosamuel and others. Please I need your response on the following;

For someone that applied for the NA DSSC, is it possible for one not to be shortlisted for uploading HND statement of result instead of Certificate? and most importantly is possible for not being shortlisted for choosing a related course because the course one studied is not advertised. is there anybody on this thread that his course was not advertised but chose a related course and was shortlisted for this DSSC board selection?

Am curious to know this due to the information I got from someone.

I will appreciate your response.

Thanks very much.

....

Sheriff232:
It simply means that your seniority on the rank starts from the day you pass out,this is for DSSC officers,but RC and SSC has advantage of seniority,the seniority for RC starts from the date of commencement of training ie 5Years,then after POP they will pass out as Second Lieutenant which they will wear for six months and they will be promoted to Lieutenant effective date of POP,on the other hand,SSC pass out with 3Years seniority which means they have to wear second lieutenant rank for additional 2Years before they are promoted.As DSSC you are decorated straight because of speciciality though not all courses listed are professional but it's an advantage.For DSSC & 24 SSC 45,A time will come when all of you will normalize , the seniority is always at the beginning.*Keep hope alive and pray to be shortlisted,despite all challenges the army is a very prestigious profession,manage and join*.

The sentence in bold just increase my morale!

MrSuama:
In 2016, the list was published on a Friday (29 July 2016) So could Friday 14 December 2018 be the much awaited day?

You are very correct bro. The list was published 29th July, 2016 and they were told to report for Selection Board interview on the 5th August, 2016.
Let's wait and see what we happen on the 14th , Friday. But my concern is would Army fix the selection board interview for Yuletide period (25, 26, December)?

Akanoo1:
except something happens bro, it's after election.

modified: shortlist could be out anytime but reporting could be after election according to the man.

Sheyb na una type they talk say Army no go conduct recruitment for SSC/DSSC this again and to una surprise Army shock you! don't worry na they go shock you second time when they conduct screening/interview selection board by next month December and resume training by next year January/February. Yeye somebody! LOL.

emembee:
U r joking rite?......1m for which of d army, nigeria or USA?

Please don't misunderstand @OFRNGR, when he mentioned 1m + he meant Annual Salary not monthly. You know on most employment letter they write annual salary so one will now divide to know the take home per month

Cheers!

emmieachichi:
@erimakosamuel, ur words too d make sense die... I believe God die but wen e come naija govt recruitment n ppl start saying God's way or God's time... My ppl dat person Don start to link up wit his or her order from above before coming here to preach God's word here... Like u said erimakosamuel, during road safety, I was screened out after having been cleared to progress to jamb cbt level on merit o, while a pregnant lady n a married man were allowed to progress n write d jamb cbt after it was stated clearly that both categories of applicants are not allowed, so tell me is it God's time or God using men or ppl with connection or godfather at work...potential candidates person wey tell u say na God help dem, never really tell u d truth behind government recruitment in naija or better still u re still a learner... If u know, you know

You have spoken well my brother!

Truly God will not come down to help you he will definitely send man to help you. For example, if someone agrees to help you on a particular job that a good definition of God sent someone to help. And Moreso when you are praying to God for connection you will also need to work towards the connection, in one way or the other you will see things will fall in place for you, but if you sit down in your house and be praying without working towards your prayers that's very dangerous! those that are supposed to help you will not come to you, you are the one who will go to them and if truly they are God sent they will surely help you.
If you meet Some officers that were helped to be commissioned into the military what they will tell you is that it is GOD ooo. Yeah we all know it is God , but in thier mind they know some help them with the help of God Almighty but they will not disclose that to you, and you will be wondering That is it not this same God we all have been praying to.

The secret is put PRAYER first, work on CONNECTION and have believe and faith! once you prayers has been answered and your connection has clicked and you believe and have faith then you are good to go.

These are my believe and opinion, I stand to be corrected though.


@officerSHERIFF, i know you may not want to disclose it but yet I will ask,, did you join through connection or it is God as most people have met do say? Thanks in anticipation

Sheriff232:
C is the minimum number of years you are to wear a rank before you are considered for promotion while D is the age on rank,ie the run out date for your rank,eg you can be retired when you reach the age on a particular rank without being promoted

I appreciate your response boss.

swaggabrown:
Yea... I graduated at 20. Completed my NYSC in 2013 at 21 going 22..

That's wonderful!

in that 2013 Some men here were given admission into higher Institution after staying at home for years.. LOL...

enesi009:
i think at oga Sherif dis is OK now

Oga sherif, please kindly explain what the Column C & D means. Thanks

Sheriff232:
I have seen 22,23 even 21 though air force and navy because they spend 4 years in NDA,so no matter what,they must reach the peak of service and still very young

You are very right brotherly. The hausa guy that graduated from NDA last year or so as the overall best graduating cadet was 23 years old

bxboss:
To those who do not know what they are about to go into, If you are joining the army because of lack of jobs, think twice. It is a profession in which you might pay the ultimate price at any point in time.

This is Capt. Zakari Sani.

He got ambushed alongside his soldiers few months back in Benue by terrorists,he is the only surviving soldier,the first hospital he was taken to carried out wrong surgeries on him,they couldn’t even identify the problem...
Thread:
For months he is not responding to treatment,he was later referred back to Ceda crest hospital in Abuja by the Army,where he is currently bed ridden,still not responding to treatment thou it’s a better hospital,his relatives where advised to take him out of the country. All efforts to fly him out were in vain because Nigerian army refused,A family friend who is a Federal Member representing Sabon Gari Constituency, Zaria decided to speak to the Chairman, House committee on Defense, there is still no positive result,this guy is dying.
Please Nigeria Army you might have protocols of treating your soldiers abroad,but Zakari is not responding to treatment here,don’t allow this innocent soul to die,he got a bomb attack in Maiduguri 2014,it took you guys one year before taking him to India,don’t repeat same mistake

Thanks for the information.
I was so shocked when I read this. Cus he is someone I know and he use to update his whatsapp status so am surprised I didn't get to know such happened to him.

I called him not quite long he said he is now feeling better.

Cheers!

erimakosamuel:
Which village is that....let me come and open a business center there n be collecting 500naira for coloured printing

Thanks for your response. However, I will just assume you don't have an idea of the question I asked or probably you don't know how to answer simple question.

I wish you all the best.

Cheers!

Heatup47:
Yes, two separate copies for two persons, one of them can also sign the LGA of origin for you.

but it's advisable for one to wait until the list is out by then all instructions will be clear.

HELLO!

Please I hope is not an offence to print out the all the forms in Black and White? because I don't have access to coloured printer here. Thanks

Ordnance is not a combat arm

Honestly! Brotherly I personally appreciate your efforts on giving us necessary assistance here . I love your quick response to questions. May Almighty God reward you. Aameen.

Please I will appreciate your response on this following; A close pal of mine was told he has flat foot during the screening FRSC Job he applied for, of which he was shocked because he never discovered that since he has been pursuing military career. He has applied for this SSC course 45, He is good to go on every other aspects but just the flat foot he is concerned about. please from your experience what's your say on the flat foot as per the SSC screening. ? Thanks in anticipation

Sheriff232:
Your chances of going to Intelligence Corp is 100%,you will enjoy it more as a combatant,almost half of us was sent to non combat arm,so pray to be shortlisted,those of you that read finance related courses instead of struggling position with education,legal and medical candidates ,its better you apply through SSC and suffer once,

Thanks

odimbannamdi:
As soon as you get interviewed, you should be free to go. In the 2016, on the 11th day (which was a Sunday), results of the extensive medical tests (that had lasted for around 3days or so) were announced and the likes of Yourd Sincerely were evicted. That same morning, they ran the 3.2km race. I witnessed them run the race, thereafter i left. The next morning, when i called my guys, they informed me that they were interviewed that same day and that they took the night bus home. As they spoke with me that morning, they were already at their homes in Abia state.

You see, the army incurs heavy costs for each day we all remaining in screening, so i think they would prefer to finish all on time to save those overhead costs.

So, be sure you will leave as soon as possible.

For the training resumption, i cant say emphatically coz i am obviously not the COAS. But from my own personal calculation, the army loves to do the POP of the RC and SSC cadets at the same time to save costs and pageantry, and this is usually in September. So if my calculation is correct, January is quite feasible coz it will be exactly 9 months from January to September.

But dont take my words hook, line and sinker. They are mere speculations. The COAS and MS decide that

Thanks very much for your quick response brotherly.

If I may ask please what actually got you disqualified and I hope you have also applied for this DSSC again?

odimbannamdi:
2 weeks is a maximum. 2016's was around 11 days or so. When you get interviewed, you carry on.

Brotherly, when one get interviewed and passed will they be allowed to go home the following day to go and prepare for training or they will still hold them back for some other things? And please what's the interval for the training to take place after the interview?
Thanks

mangojuice:
Yes

@Mangojuice

Brotherly I greet you!

Please can you say something on flat foot as per SSC selection board??, I have a close pal that has it but not a very bad one. He is very fit, has strength and endurance to stand for a very long time. He is good to go on every other things aside from the flat foot.

Your response will be highly appreciated. Thanks

johnmarcel:
like someone has no rigth to know wat his benefits will be wen he eventually joins

My brother forget about the issue of sentiment and other irrelevant question please. The reason for your inquisitiveness is because you have not joined the system. You know this recruitment is highly competitive so if you know you truly have passion for the job what should be Paramount to you now and every other applicants that are curious like you is to find a way to be recruited to the system, once you successfully join the Army you will get to know all these things you are curious about easily. So I urge you to focus on joining the Army first as that is the most important thing for now. For example when we were still seeking for an admission into higher Institution we were eager and we were wanting to know virtually all the system of the higher Institution which cannot be possible and as a result we find it difficult, but the moment we were given an admission and as time passes by we got to know everything with ease.

like an Army friend do tell me" You can't know everything about Army until you have joined the Army"
I wish everyone of us Success!

Cheers!

Gentlemen! At this juncture do not anticipate the DSSC /SSC form in any the months just have 100% believe that NA will definitely release the form this year, very certain!

Presently NA is conducting conversion exercise into DRC/ RC for the past DSSC /SSC officer who are presently holding the rank of Captain, in fact those who are on course were called back to come and participate in the conversion.

Thus;, stop putting mind in any months just have believe it will be out this year. We have to wait until the form is out.

You don't need to ask me source of my information because am not ready to disclose it, i just thought i need to dole out this info to you so that we can all be calm.

You should know I hardly comment on this thread and I will not post information that am not sure of.

Cheers!

henroo2003:
WhatsApp me on 08024741344

If you want to help explain it here and let everyone benefit cus i also have the same issue with my application.

I don't see reason why I should chat you privately on whatsapp because you want to explain to me what's giving most people difficulties when you can easily post it here for everyone to see.

icotfodile:
He was right, for 2016 the final list came out in Novemeber and training started early december and DSSC POP was early June while NDA RC and SSC POP was september of 2017.

In 2014, training started in January.

You are absolutely correct!

ugo4u:
I noticed something about SSC 44 officers, its like nobody amongst them was selected for special forces training. I don't know if its this SSC/RC dichotomy in play here because I know most of those RC guys wear that special forces batch even before they pass out(Final year).
I don't know if there is a criteria to meet before one is selected for such training.

I understand the level of anxiousness in some of here. Like a friend (An Army Officer) use to tell me '' you can't know most of all what you are inquiring until you successfully joined the Army''. The is very true though, the more your questions are been answered here the more inquisitive you will be to know the next. I will just advice us to be calm at this stage and get commissioned first, after that we would get to know all what we have been worrying about, both the truths and lies. Please let's be calm and be guided by the basics information we have gotten. #Wecantknowallnowuntilweareinthesystem.
