ladepete: @bigboyo...you see something in a particular thing b4 u derive passion for it. Are u comparing nigerian police with nigerian army..oh plzzzzzz. Let's be realistic here. You sound like if it is so easy to be enlisted in the Nigerian army. It is as difficult as getting a job in an oil company that u even get well paid. Everyone knows what u go through even be4 enlistment...so what are u talking about. If you are applying cos of what u listed, don't generalise it. Every one has his or her reason for applying for to be an officer. Why will I opt for RRI when I'm a graduate.PASSION is not STUPIDITY!

femredhead: @bigboyo......thanx so much 4d in4matn on HTACOS...........what is d duratn of yrs 4 promotn frm 1 rank to odas?...I heard dat frm LT to CAPT s 5yrs....s dis applicable to all?

xykms101: @bigoyo. Then why are they stil insisting on max of 28 for ssc and 35 for dscc for recruitment when the age of captain and its equivalent had been extended to 46? Nawa for this Military people.

femredhead: Kindly re-type d link....or anybody with d link of HTACOS shld post it pls...thanx

xykms101: Yeah! i understand you better, helicopter pilot would have to undergo training before handling airplanes, but the training would be so easy bcoz Helicopters use two controls ,namely the cyclic and the collective control columns whil Fixed wing airplanes have only one control column.
Helicopter's manouvr ability is more sensitive than that of airplanes and therefore needs more concentration and skill.

femredhead: I need information on d new age ceiling on each rank of Nigeria Armed Forces (Officers), or d link to read d new HTACOS.....does Govt agreed 70yrs of retiring age 4 Armed Forces?

xykms101: I think you should do the google things and stop arguing what you don't know. British Military plane ferried most of the NA troops to mali from Abuja, NAF C-130 only supported them by carrying the remaining troops from kaduna, and the identity of the pilot was not revealed, it can be NAF or NA pilot.

If NA pilots can handle helicopters perfectly then handling planes wouldn't be a problem for them, don't you know that flying helicopters is slightly more technical than airplanes.

General oluseye: whether aviation wing or whatever,i know they ve got helicopter pilots.i just want to know which of dssc or ssc ll be choosen to be one of them.thanks

xykms101: Blatant lies, Nigerian soldiers were ferried to mali by british warplanes not NAF and there were reasons for that, Nigerian army has pilots trained by Naf just as Navy officers trained along with army for land combat.

xykms101: We don't have to argue on this matter, Nigerian army would not wait for Nigerian airforce to fly its soldiers To/Fro in the war time. They must definately train soldiers to do that.

General oluseye: Pls type "nigerian army aviation wing" on the google and see what you ll find

General oluseye: Pals i learnt the army has aviation corps.is it through the dssc or ssc that they ll pick helicopter pilots from

Madawaki01: [b]Am back!!!
I cnt blieve dat ur list is stil nt out yet
well,lemme share my xperience at d nda old site wit u guys

We did an aptitude test dat same day,den we did a physological test,mind u,they dnt evict anymor afta those evicted at d race
next was d obstacle d nex day,u wil nid a lot of strength 4 dis exercise,den d group obstacle,there wil b 10 to 12 pple pa group,u wil be tld to recova som items,they wil mark som places wit red paint nd som places wit green,if u touch d red,u'r out,

BROTHERS, IT TAKES GOD ALONE TO MAKE THE FINAL LIST...COS WITH YOUR CONNECTIONS, THEY HAVE A WAY OF HITTING YOU HARD WITH ECG(MEDICALS)

WITH YOUR CONNECTIONS, DONT FORGET GOD...ITS HIS PREROGATIVE ALONE...LIST WILL SURELY BE OUT..LETS JUST BOTHER LESS COS IT SURELY WILL BE...

mko abiola: If u lik call a brig gen or maj gen.
All dese ar speculations
Ds year us quite unsuall.
Only d COAS answer all d questions.
Wat wil b ,wil b.

cy99: I think it's unfair to blame Gideon given the uncertain nature of this year's SSC/DSSC recruitment. Consider the following: while preparing my mind and my patrons for an impending shortlisting, a Brig-Cmmndr told me unequivocally that this year would witness an aptitude test. Tried to confirm from somebody working in the NDA, him never hear that kind thing. Asked another junior officer, he said it would be same as previous years. Then my NDA friend tells me eventually that it's true O, there will be a test, say make I go dey prepare! Then Nairalanders coming forth with different release dates I'm assuming they must have gotten from "authoritative sources." Then, to add insult to injury, them say list dey with COAS. Shuo!

Gideon360: Thks bigboyo for ur coment.
Cy99 thanks so much 4ur understanding.
God bless us.
Let wait and see what will happen next

Gideon360: I was just told now dat, COAS Went for his mother's burrial ceremony, that d list is in his possession.
Let us still hope it may still comes out 2moro. Because journalist can reach anywhere to get useful info like this. Do be tired. Are Multivated?

smuhammad: Your questions are welcomed, though too much of it may be so confusing. the essay is not a difficult one at all. all they need is your command of English and expression. And it is a general one for all candidates. Our was, write about ur journey to Makurdi and the second was an application to the minister of defence on why you want to join the military. So expect anything, read wide cos I learnt u are going to write a general test before the first shortlistment. So do not rest on ur oars by depending on all my hints. Just prepare for the worst.
