SSC is a Combatant Short Service Commission (formerly known as Short Regular Commission, SRC) that is meant for those interested in field Operations AKA War or peace-keeping or Combat Operations (U assume the rank of second Lieutenant in the army -*- and R usually fielded into fielded into Infantry Corps of the Nigerian army after 9mths - 12mths of training); after 18mths - 2yrs U receive your first promotion to Lieutenant -**- and your subsequent promotions are 4years a rank or as vacancies/slots arise. When U achieve your 6th Year (Usually when U R or awaiting to assume the rank of Captain -***-), U will have the option to retire or convert to Regular commission after a physical exercise; U will receive 2 chances each year to pass this after which at your third fail U will go on compulsory retirement. N.B;- NDA graduates R on Regular Commission by default; This grants them automatic right to hold any appointment anywhere in the armed forces; a right SSC may share if God, age and politics is on your side.

DSSC is Direct Short Service Commission and is meant for professional Officers interested purely in administrative functions of the army (U will assume the rank of Lieutenant -**- after training and will be fielded into any of the Corps where vacancies exist for your discipline after 6-7mths of training). Your First 2 ranks will be achieved after 5years of promotion each. In your 10th year, you will have the option of retiring or convert to Direct Regular Commission which will involve mainly just a medical exam and filling a couple of documents after which U will be deemed converted and subsequent promotion will be achieved on a 4year basis a rank or as vacancy/slots exists N.B;- Direct regular Commission legally can achieve any rank except the APEX rank in each armed forces; In the case of army Lieutenant General. However they cannot hold any Major appointment that demand control of combatant troops, unfortunately most of these appointments R usually assigned to Brigadier or Major Generals (a rank that usually has very limited slots/vacancy for occupancy compared to number of officers qualified to filled them) so most times in the past, DRC don't usually proceed after the rank of Lieutenant Colonel or Colonel - though this trend is fast changing as DRC now achieve the rank of Brigadier General even Major General, thanks to Democracy......

A B. ed can go for DSSC if there is vacancy in the Education Corps only beyond that no hope; a B. ed can go for SSC as what U read doesn't matter everybody will just face Infantry (The Combat land troops department of the army). Education Corps is for teachers and staff of Military school and military institutes, Infantry is war, peacekeeping and training for other combatant troops....

Yes a B.Ed can go for all armed forces but only army has SSC the rest have only DSSC.....

Jets and Crafts/Vessel is exclusively for NDA graduates and not DSSC

Special forces R members of the armed forces trained for specific field OPS (for Now boko Haram & counter insurgency is the core of all Special forces training course menu) Airforce has QRF (Quick response force), Army has CTU (Counter terrorism Unit)..........

Military reserve R meant for Mass recruitment/re-engagement into the armed forces in the event that the armed forces or the Nation is overwhelmed by a foreign or local threat. Retired officers fit the profile, also Civil defence and other paramilitary bodies can be conscripted in the event of a General state of emergency...........

Pistols R meant specifically for commandants/Commanders/Service Chiefs or as occasion demands. Usually the culture is for your Aides to carry arms for U as a very senior officer; a very senior officer or a commander will only agree to carry in the event that his unit is on Military alert (by this time every personnel will be on camouflage only all day of the week instead of switching between other variants of their uniforms)......

Usually for SSC in recent times, 30years is the maximum and 26 is the minimum but if U R younger and have your first degree U will be accepted. DSSC for army and airforce is minimum 26 to 35 maximum but even if U R younger with a first degree U R welcome. Navy insists on maximum of 30yrs and younger with first degree for DSSC.......

Army, Navy, Air force is anyone's choice. Army is a place people R wary of because they have a tradition of promoting at a slower rate than others (though that is changing now), Air force is a place deemed better than army in terms of rate of promotions, though the level of discrimination for appointments against DSSC is far higher than that of army (in the army the man who can do the job and is qualified gets its; airforce they will consider Regular Commission qualified or not before DSSC). Navy is deemed the best in terms of pay and other things; the problem is that its deemed the most difficult to enter...........so U choose as your Spirit leads

please boss? is the combination of trade test in plumbing and OND in accountancy acceptable to join the army as a NCO? and please do you have the idea of what is causing the delay of 76RRI?

You can definitely join the army with your OND. If you are successful, you will assume the rank of Corporal when you pass out.

But, furthering your education will require that you take permission to go to school; else you may have problems, especially if you are posted in the middle of a Semester.

Plus, if you school without permission from your commander, you may have problems mustering your academic qualifications or updating your academic records within your file.

As for joining DSSC while in the service, yes it is very possible. But it is twice as difficult, plus the lowest number of years I have ever seen anyone spent in the service and join DSSC is 10 years.

Note also, that the number of years you serve as an officer, if you eventually join DSSC within the service will reduce, as they must take account of the number of years within the Service already. What does this mean?

Let's say, you join as a corporal with your OND, and gain a HND or BSc and then spend 12years as an NCO or a soldier before you eventually were successful as a DSSC officer/applicant . Assuming you have 30 years to spend within the service, the 12years you spent as a soldier will be taken into account, meaning you have just 18 years left to serve as an officer.

That's why I usually don't advice people to join as NCO or soldiers, but if you join, bare in mind that it may not be as rosy as you expect. It pays bills, yes.

For me, if you must be an NCO by fire by force - considering the high level of unemployment in town, I recommend the Airforce first, second Navy, Army last.

Airforce is my constituency so permit the bias. Army na complete rugged jungle, compared to airforce which is for gentlemen. Plus the general conditions of service in airforce - rugged as it is to be an NCO - are more bearable as you excel in rank or appointment than the army.

After them, Navy.

By the way, NCO means Non-Commissioned Officer. It just a fancy word they give to soldiers. Sometimes they are called other ranks........
