Boss tenderlaw, you are sighted, Sire. Boredom made me read all your pre-military posts and comments recently. Ended up liking most of the hilarious comments. Thanks for your commitment to Nairaland aspirants and thanks for your service to Nigeria.

tenderlaw:
Kudos pijay. You're doing well.

The third sentence is all I needed to hear today.No stagnancy but movement and that's a good sign.Thanks for the info,Sire.

pijay:
Go about with your normal business of the day. the list will come out when number 1 is ready to release it. stay calm but be rest assure DSSC 28 will start October?December. Those of you with Issues start addressing it right away

They aren't even going to sack anyone of them now according to The President. So it can't be part of the delay. Since obtaining form @ October to writing exam @ November to end of screening+spreading as* + interview @ January till this time, I have to admit it's been a long wait. But gentlemen, it's gonna pay off.

ELJC:
This issue going on in Nigeria about changing of service chief’s , Sure it ain’t part of the delay.

Na Norway you call "ordinary " like that? Cover your mouth. Norway has one of the best economies that rivals the United States and the happiness index of the citizens of the of the country beats Nigeria by farrrrrrrrr

hisexcellency34:
Ordinary Norway too dey treat Nigerians anyhow

Boss Tenderlaw, there is no smoke without fire. There is no full stop without a sentence. Say something, Sir�

tenderlaw:
.

Boss Pijay, thanks very much for the info and support. My mind is set on the last day of February tho

pijay:
Gentlemen expect the list soonest. they are timing the date of resumption so that POP will be together with Navy NDA Midshipmen currently in Onne. Verification Exercise is over since last week.

Always remember that Que Sera Sera & The end justifies the means(Nicollo Machiavelli). Relax, we're gonna be alright.

ELJC:
Oga I thought you said they re on certificate verification?

Yes, Hopefully. Except if this year's an unlucky one for aspirants. Follow the Nigerian Army DSSC/SSC thread to prepare ahead. I'm a Navy DSSC aspirant but learnt a lot from the army thread. Just unfollowed it recently. Stay safe.

evioke:
Please house will the Nigerian Army advertise for short service course this year again thanks.

At the end of every post, put "NB: I don't reply mails"

tenderlaw:
Pls how can I reply msgs on Nairaland without giving away my email?

Sure, it would make the board feel like you've wanted to join NN since your whole life and put you in list...hahahaha

ELJC:
Maybe I should change my Display Name to NNStalker

Stalking the Navy signboard like an ex-gf. You know it's serious business. I admire that

Gisborne6:
stalking Nigerian navy

Hahahahahahahaha...should I call this zeal or stalking

ELJC:
Jst hanging around, awaiting the final list

18Months to prepare for the jobs that should be done by the Navy and Air force combined

pijay:
18 Months doing what in camp? Not tru..

Don't know how true that is..never heard it before but if it's true...they are going to be super officers when they pass out

evioke:
Please house I learnt those short service new intake into the Army will train for 18 months please how true is it

What a relief this message is. I hope it comes out on the last day in February though.

pijay:
The list is not coming out this 1st week of February. Currently Verification of Certificates is ongoing. They are going to ur individual schools to verify the certificate/Statement of Result you guys submitted during the interview. After that the list will be out and it will be this February.
Congrats to the future Sub Lt.

What I can just pick from here is that with or without the Navy, you had your future planned out. I admire that. Stay safe, Sir.

pijay:
I cant actually believe i said that self. I remembered then i just got Visa to USA and i was waiting for Navy to release the final list so i can move on with life, but they kept on postponing it and i was not getting my informations right.
But the prayer was a success.
#FutureSub-Lt.

Yeah, got it.

DaKaptain:
No.

I meant the Published list has just been pasted there. The list that was there initially was of those invited for the screening last year.

I hope you get...

By updated, you mean new names have been added?

DaKaptain:
You can now check the Army website. The list has been updated...

www.nigerianarmyms.ng

In all honesty, anticipating the very tight Navy DSSC list is scary enough. Hence, the graveyard silence.

Lmao!!! Funny stuff happens all the time...shortlisting has it's dynamics according to the quality of available candidates, I believe.

Kaeboy:
I thought someone was saying with authority that time that if you don't have TRCN you're going no where because things are no longer business as usual

Hahahhahaha...won't it be nice if that repeats itself on and on again?

cheerokee:
A lot of people who didn't have the TRCN stuff and applied for education corps made the list

You made the final list. Now, that's very inspiring.

hafeeez11:
Bro please I got into the final list DSSC Nd I applied for Education Corp without the TRCN certificate please any suggestions on how to scale through?

Was going through this...Oga pijay, you cracked me up on this

pijay:
Some Peeps dey here wey get Real Admirals backing go just quiet dey look us. meanwhile they know wat is going on... na wa ooh.. This Navy Job will surely be a hit back to back... From Exams at regional level to Onne for Interview Screening and opening of Ass... and now we waiting for Final list.. ko ni da fu iyalaya any enemies of progress ooh.. (Laughing hard). Greeting to all future Sub-Lt in the House.. May we see Sucess this month..

If they require you to submit a pertinent document, would you disobey? Or go ahead to submit a new document that's not in their records before? The 13th and 14th line of this your advice are dicey.

sojeee:
There is an Intelligence investigation called VETTING, A form will be given, where u will fill all your Personal,Educational and all other details about your self and your Addresses.
Those assigned for such purpose will proceed to your village with that Your Post cards, the vetting form and a photocopy of your documents submitted.
They will verify all the documents you submit to them.
My advice to any body who have any forged or fake document, he should not submit it.
All d best SSC46/DSSC25 officer cadets....

Greatest advice of the month

odimbannamdi:
Brother! Brother!! Brother!!!

How many times did i call you??

I read your posts alot and believe me, you have done your very best. You were prepared both physically, emotionally, psychologically and even network-wise.

Dont take this hard on yourself bro. It is either this wasn't your time or God is protecting you from greater harm.

Cheer up, pull yourself together, keep applying but continue building your career in the civilian world.

What matters in life is to make money legitimately and be happy. Life may not always give us what we want but the good thing is that we can always make a lemonade out of the lemon life throws at us.

I wish you good luck bro

This is what happens when Army DSSC list shows up on the 13th

Sigala:
Please, how long before the final list comes out

For O-level, try to get your original certificate especially if it's NECO you intend to use. There was a stark unexpected dichotomy between WAEC and NECO certificates in this year's screening. If you can afford to use WAEC, it makes life easier. Statement of result for degree is still acceptable especially if you graduated a year ago but to avoid any drama or questioning, if your original B.Sc result is ready, go and collect it. DSSC screening could get very harsh next year. Take care.

fbabs:
Congratulations
Is statement of results acceptable for O'level and degree

I'm sure that this advice right here is why I survived the pangs of medicals. I love meat seh

tenderlaw:
You should know your weight before now to determine whether you'll be at risk of being measured overweight if you eat or not. But whatever the case, those who are going should try and avoid meat until AFTER your samples have been taken. Drink enough water to reduce issues with your urine.

Day 1-4: Serious Medical tests and credentials scrutiny. Ppl like me that use NECO only didn't have it easy. On the 2nd of January, so many "chest numbers" were called out for one issue or the other. Lost a bunch of good friends to that. After that reality and boredom started to set in for a little bit.

Day 5-8: Commodore(Board Chairman) started to sensitive us on what's next after medicals and stuff, that is- 3km race+ Pushups+ Pressups+ Aptitude test(Essay on why you want to join the Nigerian Navy +35 hot multiple choice questions to be completed in 30mins), All in one day!...luckily tips from nairaland really helped. I really hope I'm not the only nairalandee hoping to be an officer. The silence is deafening.

Day 9-Today(the day I left Ojo)- Preparations for interview with the selection board. The wait and all the sitting on the grass made the journey to be an officer look like eternity or endless. In the end, I was only asked one question, didn't really know it but as a guy--you gots frame a thing or two and say it loudly even if you ain't sure and that's what I did.
Overall the experience was an eye opener and all we can do is hope.

I came out from there today with a rush of feelings...total silence happens when you sit on the parade ground/muster point for more than 3hrs a day in the sun and your only hope is the next meal time(rat meals)

tenderlaw:
Total silence from these guys on screening.

Lamar

NN is asking for BVN and NIN ? I hope it's for the purpose of giving us money?
