Why tf would you wanna do that??!

Why?

Dear op, if it were the Navy or Air Force, I could have told you to go ahead. I also left university many years ago in my fourth year. Though at the time, I joined through the Officer Cadet route I meant the Defence Academy.

So, my advice to you is this. The Army is not even like the Navy or the Air Force. They recruit, advertise, and enlist people to join. So don't expect any fireworks or assume that everything will work out in your favour when things don't go your way.

Of course, we have people who go on courses to study nursing, for example. One of my godsons, who was a corporal, recently went on a nursing course in Lagos, at the Nigerian Army School of Nursing, and today he is a nurse. He is anticipating doing a Short Service Commission to become a commissioned officer. But the chances are slim, like I told him, because we have nurses who even have MSc and are still serving in the ranks.

I remember I had an instructor when I was a cadet in G-branch who had a PhD but was still Warrant Officer.

So, I advise you to finish your degree. But if you have the opportunity to join the Navy or the Air Force, I can advise you to go for it. That is where I believe you may have better opportunities.

In the Navy and Air Force, as long as you are willing to go to school and you have a good rapport with your superiors, especially your direct Commanding Officer, there may be opportunities for you to progress, go to school, and improve yourself, including the possibility of getting commissioned.

Though branch commissioning in the Air Force is very difficult to get, even harder than getting EC in the army.

But still, if it is the Navy or Air Force, I would advise you to consider it.

One thing I have noticed about the Air Force is that whenever I go to the base to see some of my coursemates, many of these Air Force personnel have master's degrees and even PhDs, and they are still serving as soldiers.

So, if it is the Air Force or Navy you want to join, I could tell you to go ahead, but make sure you continue developing yourself academically. Develop a good rapport with your superiors and conduct yourself properly.

You can even put in your papers along the line if you eventually decide that you no longer want the job. People leave the service after some time because they are no longer interested.

So, that's my advice for you. if it is the Army, reconsider your options. stretch yourself, You are studying a good course.

But if it is the Navy or Air Force you want to join, I could advise you to go ahead. Develop a good rapport with your superiors, especially your commander. Wherever ship you are posted to if you are in the Navy, develop yourself and maintain a good relationship with your superiors.

And if you are in the Air Force, wherever you are posted, do the same. As long as you are not in the Regiment, because if you are in the Regiment in the Air Force, it might be more difficult for you to go to school because of operations and many other responsibilities.

That's my advice.

Pray for direction from God in all. All you need to do is ask him for wisdom and he will show you the way. Goodluck with your choices. If you eventually join the army, try and reach out still. I believe airforce form is currently in sale though.

You can join if u want, but have this in mind, when you join as an other rank that is through recruitment NCO, you would have to serve for a certain period either as a Lance Corporal or Corporal before you can apply for army sponsorship to further your studies this will be of great help when you want to apply for commissioning as SSC or DSSC or Executive Commission. The army would not honour your certificate if you got it through self sponsorship. Also when you join you may have to find a way to looby so as to get the corp of your choice because if you don't follow it up you will end up as a Bloody INFANTUA ICC and Jaji would be your home ground.

My brother I would not say don't join nor join but know that you are going to trade your freedom. Who no come no go know wetin I see.

Ayodeleomo:
please donot join now.Try and finish your degree because when you join for you to go to school,you have to serve some years.I am serving soldier,i am talking out of experience.

ExudeLoveToAll:
Bro u go regret later ooooooo if you join the military with WAEC, if you can push ahead and finish before joining the military through DSS. Once you join as a recruit that's it, you will serve for 35 years complaining all through your career

For your career growth complete your studies.

Like drifting into oblivion through sleep or something?,

I do think about that too, all the time. Although things are taking a bit shape now than few years ago.

If you're not that brave to do it, then try to exist anyway.



Well, trying to exist in a world that seem not to are about me is harder than expected 😔😔😔 , cause at some point you loose the zeal to live . Life seem meaningless, just trying to find my place jn this world and I seem not to find it, I just 😔😔 wishing life could end it all

I used the word 'exist' because, majority of this country's citizen are just existing, not living. And I happened to be one of them.

Take one day at a time, that's how I push through the dark thoughts all the time. Thinking about what happens in the minute, talk more of the future, can be exhausting at this stage.

Just, live.

The only favor I need from you, stranger, is not to bring in innocent souls into this mess you find yourself already.

Children were never blessings, as our parents were meant to believe. Do the best you can, and if it seems like there's no light at the end of the tunnel, you can always pull the plug.

No hard feelings, 👍
