Oga bidexiii, Is it true dssc don't see combat and aren't usually promoted beyond a certain rank, say colonel?

99% of DSSC WOULD NOT SEE COMBAT.

Simply because the DSSC is not designed or intended for combat, the DSSC is to produce commissioned officers that NDA can't produce like doctors,nurses,law,christian & Muslim Chaplin,engineering & technology and social sciences courses e.t.c.

If u av the intention of joining the army and you want to see combat, pick up the SSC form.

Then on the issue that they are not promoted beyond certain rank is not intentional; before u graduate from the university and u go for NYSC age will be a limiting factor. And you know in NDA these days by the age 18,19 or 20 you av graduated to be a 1st or 2nd lieutenant. And hope u know the DSSC is for 15 yrs but it's like u can sign another 15 yrs contract if u like.

Hope av answered ur question.

MAIDUGURI: TAC HOLDS REGIMENTAL DINNER

Tactical Air Command (TAC) yesterday held regimental dinner for the 4th quarter 2016. The choice of 79 Composite Group, Maiduguri to host the dinner was quite unique. Aside keeping with traditions of hosting regimental dinner to promote social interaction, camaraderie and disciple among officers in the Nigerian Air Force, the occasion reinforces the fact that peace and normalcy have returned to Maiduguri. It also portends great hope for eventual restoration of socio-economic prosperity in no distant time to the entire North East region.

The Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas chaired the evening among other dignitaries including the Deputy Governor of Borno State, Alh Usman Durkwa; the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Mshl Sadique Abubakar; Theatre Commander Operation LAFIYA DOLE, Maj Gen Lucky Irabor; branch chiefs from Headquarters Nigerian Air Force, as well as commanders and representatives from units under TAC.

The dinner provided another opportunity for eminent Nigerians to appreciate the efforts of the NAF, and the commitment by its leadership, towards combating insurgency in the North East. Both the CNS and Borno State Deputy Governor alluded to the fact that the NAF has continued to make immense contributions to the collective effort at stamping out insurgency from the North East. This act of patriotism, Alh Durkwa stated, reflects the observance of military regimental values among men and women of the NAF.

Bomb blast hits Maiduguri, many feared dead


Many traders and travellers were feared killed on Wednesday as an improvised explosive suspected to have been planted by Boko Haram insurgents went off outside a car park in Maiduguri, Borno state.
The explosion went off at a park popularly called Mun Garage at about 9a.m. in the capital city of the north-east Nigerian state.
A witness who said he was lucky to survive the incident said he saw about a dozen bodies covered with blood littering the scene.
“I thank God for sparing my life,,” said Usman Kachalla, a local trader. “I don’t know if it is a suicide bomber, we just heard the blast and I saw my self covered with dust.”
An official of the Civilian-JTF, Alhaji Khalil, confirmed the incident to PREMIUM TIMES.
“Yes there was a blast early this morning outside Muna Garage along Mafa road. We have sent our operatives down there; but we have not confirmed the casualty,” said the Civilian-JTF official.

Briton held in Kenyan raid on suspected al-Shabaab base

Kenyan police have arrested a British national and two Somali women in a raid on a house in an upmarket area of Nairobi which they suspect was being used as a recruitment base for the al-Shabaab militant group.

Detectives surrounded the residence in the north of the city at 10.30am on Tuesday and took away the suspects in handcuffs.

Gigiri is the main diplomatic quarter in Nairobi and is home to several western embassies and the United Nations headquarters in the capital.

Local media reported that police confiscated what they described as “training literature and books”, which they said may have been used to aid recruitment efforts.

A security guard said the British national had lived at the compound for three years and detectives told reporters that he had travelled to Somalia on several occasions.

Kenyan troops have been fighting an al-Shabaab insurgency in the south of Somalia for five years as part of a 22,000-strong African Union force seeking to uproot the group from its main strongholds.

Al-Shabaab has fought back by staging several large-scale attacks in Kenya, including the siege at the Westgate mall in September 2013 that left 71 dead – including four attackers – and a massacre at a university in Garissa last April.

The militants have not managed to stage any major attacks in Kenya in recent months but on Thursday six non-Muslims were killed in an attack on the town of Mandera near the border with Somalia.

Boko Haram launches fresh attack on Borno village


Suspected members of dreaded Boko Haram terrorists invaded Kwashebe village in Jere Local Government Area of Borno State where they shot and killed about five residents, sources have said.

Among those dead is a middle-aged person (name withheld) who died at the Jere Divisional Police Headquarters after being evacuated with other four persons who sustained gunshot wounds in their heads, the source said.

Kwashebe community is in the South East and in the outskirt of Maiduguri metropolis which had witnessed series of attacks by insurgents in recent past.

According to a reliable source, the insurgents armed with AK47 rifles and petrol bombs, invaded the village at about 10.30am yesterday and opened fire on residents, while setting ablaze their houses after looting foodstuff and livestock.

The source added: “It was the quick intervention of some Civilian JTF around the area who responded to the attack by evacuating some of the victims, particularly the injured ones, to a nearby police station in Jere Local Government Area that saved the situation.

Our correspondent also gathered that troops of the 7 Division, Nigerian Army, around 12.17pm mobilised to the scene to apprehend the attackers, even as additional three dead bodies were taken to the same Jere police station, while some of the injured ones were taken to the State Specialists Hospital, Maiduguri, for treatment.

Sources at the hospital and the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, UMTH, confirmed receiving the Boko Haram victims who sustained gunshot wounds but were said to be responding to treatment, though, they declined giving the actual number of the victims admitted at the two hospitals.

Well...say hello to the new battle dress uniform of the navy to be worn aboard ships a'la on duty

the thing sweet me as per indigenous design

Anyway that's just my own opinion. But I love the tarvor riffle with the hand grip and other carbine riffle.

jakeporeshenko:
I saw something similar. I wonder who's idea it was to introduce this new camo scheme, to me it seems really bright, like the colors are shouting.

Also thinking the same mate ; who introduced the ugly camouflage and there is even the naval & woodland prototypes.

MAIDUGURI – The Nigerian Army yesterday commended the Nigerian media for its objectivity in the coverage of the ongoing counter-insurgency operations in the North-East.

The Commandant of the Nigerian Army School of Public Relations and Information, Col. John Agim, made the commendation while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Maiduguri.

Agim said that the media had played great role in disseminating accurate information to Nigerians on the successes recorded by the military on the operations against Boko Haram.

“I think that the Nigerian media has lived up to expectation in keeping Nigerians abreast on the military operations in the North-East.

“When we arrived Maiduguri, we were surprised that there is peace everywhere, contrary to the belief in many areas.

“I think that the media has a lot of job to do in letting Nigerians and the whole world know that peace has returned here, because outside there many people do not know,” he said.

Ajim added that genuine investors would return to the state when they became aware of the restoration of peace to the troubled zone.

The commander, who led members of the Senior Course on Strategic Communication of the school on tour of the state, said the visit was aimed at getting first-hand information on the military operations in the state.

“The Nigerian Army School of Public Relations and Information is the one that drives the information sector of the Nigerian Army.

“For the course to achieve its aim we need to be on ground in one of the areas the army is carrying out operations to get first-hand information,” he said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the team also paid courtesy visits to Governor Kashim Shettima and the Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar Ibn Garbai.

Our naval guys are always looking dope but if it is not Air force, it is not a force.

Definitely you are airforce........ .

Definitely it's the ARMY.

Fynline:
Oga Bidexii this is the most powerful chopper in NAF inventory to date. It has 3 engines, can carry 25 fully kitted troops in sitting position and about 50 in standing position. That's massive

Can't wait till it is reconfigured for military tactical use. These is a great boost for the airforce and I think our navy needs these type of heavy duty he'll for our 2 new OPV's.

Odunayaw:
