army has always been one batch..... Never separated it..... At least to the best of my knowledge....

ohhhh.Okay

this is my first time trying SSC

thought it was also like NDA

thanks for the info

eclipsehemmy:
3 already commissioned officers to screen we d candidates..... That's the highest in recent times meaning the shortlistment may be more this year..... My pops has been on the board for 4 consecutive years from DSSC 19 in Ibadan.... And he always represented his Corp alone but this year one Lt col and two majors from his Corp.... Which makes him ineligible Cox he is higher than those ranks..... So adding one plus one means army may shortlist more people reason they asked for more officers to partake in the screening.... We all should remain prayerful and pray for grace and Favour.... Connection or not......... Prayers and God is everything

or maybe the reason for having many officers on board is because they would treat the entire 36 states and FCT in one batch as different from other times when they did it in two batches. just an assumption

HarunaWest:

Just buy suya and a chilled drink, login to nairaland, look for the army thread on the day the list will be released, the kind of questions and comment you will read ehh!!! you go laff that day sote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!you go nearly kpai.
That is when you see questions like
1) Can a lance Corporal or Traffic warder sign my form?
2) Where can I get BVN?
3) Army have closed their site, how do they expect us to print the forms etc
4) I backed my documents in google drive and it has crashed

Caveat:
The thread should be followed that day under the supervision of a physician.

Lol

Boyka007:

Imagine, some did not even print any copy... and they registered, hoping for the best. Then how do u want the best to come.
Lolzzzz
Bro, this recent Navy list that came out. I downloaded it despite I didn't apply. I checked my state (Oyo) and saw a former course mate's name. I was so happy for her and congratulated her on WhatsApp. Could you believe, she was asking me which list. I said Navy list, I saw your three names, are you not the one. She quickly wejt offline. then later message me and thank me that she wasn't aware that the list is out.

Lol.. I know a guy that applied for Air Force

His name was on the list to go for interview

Baba no know until I sent it to him

HarunaWest:
Y'all just talking printing and signing gibberish up and down... Nigerians like pressuring themselves for things that don't matter and the ones that matter they handover to God... People are doing runs out there so they would be called for screening, buh y'all are here signing like say na Signing go carry you join NA.

Also remember when I when to print my first nda applications with the last cash my dad had

When he saw me he asked for changed. I say no change

Then I showed him the copies

He look me ask me weda na who print coloured dey pass exam ���

But I still passed sha

Today am still a civilian

Maybe I may remain a civilian for life

Boyka007:

Lol. This one touch me sha..

Shame no fit allow me go the cafe way I go print out my Air Force and naval scanned copies of signed documents

Cos they were signed by officers in the AHQ and DHQ

As I dey print , the guys for there just dey hail me say my own Don soft

Bros, my name no comot for both..

Na why I lock up for this army.

Boyka007:
You clearly didn't follow the discussion. The person I was responding to said he printed two copies of parent consent form and I told him he was supposed to print just one. Besides I don't believe people need to print nd save 50 copies. Let me ask you, you have just one copy of ur waec, bsc nd other certs. Have u misplaced them?

Lol

You know what

Lets just chill and wait for the list to be released.. That's when you would see confusion from a lot of people who printed just one copies


We go they here they read together na (even if our names dey the list we go still dey here for updates)


From the Air Force and naval thread alone. I see things laugh wan kill me

Some people never expected their names to come out but it did, only to find out they didn't even print any copy

eDoctorr:
I am not saying everyone should do like me but at least, for a safer side, one should have soft copies aside enough hard copies.

If NA says we should print coloured today, I'd just access the e-copies and reprint.

I downloaded the files on system after registration, copied them to the phone and then pushed it into google drive.

It doesn't cost me one naira, coz I printed with my printer.

But no matter how, even if you register in a CAFE, you can just tell them to help u send the soft copies to your phones, they'd gladly do it without any surcharging.

Exactly, always satisfy your conscience.

abiodunalasa:
Phone, Laptop, Google drive and yet 4 hard copies each!
Bro there's a thin line between "careful" and "paranoia".

Me Thinking out of the box

Could be he made 4 copies of each for reasons below


Gave one copy to his parent/guardian to sign ( just one page signed out of 4, it comes back to him with the remaining pages blank)

Gave one copy to an officer to acknowledge his local government (also, 1 page signed, others blank)

Did the same for the remaining two copies

NB: I remember 2013, I gave an officer just the local government attestation form to sign, he said he won't sign it until he sees the entire print out (that is the one carrying both local government attestation, parent/guardian as well as the photo card)


By doing this, when all comes back, you just attach the signed ones to complete what you need and keep the rest,

an officer or a good Samaritan may come and say give me one of your forms, I think I know someone who can help, is that when you start running to a cafe?


Just my thoughts

sojeee:
Guys let's pray hard, I heard from a source that Magu-magu don too much for d list, it seems like no more Merit again, may be dem go do like Airforce. na who u know and who knows u oo. And dey are saying no money for d Exercise.
So we r waiting for d will of Allah to be done. We will accept d outcome of it with good faith.

Lol. If your source can know this much information, your name should be on the list as well. It means your source sees the changes that has happened over time.

Isaiah42:
You guys should forget about that Generalship argument for now. What is most important now is the make the peep and pray for long life. Regular or no regular Late Abu Ali and Late Ibrahim Sakaba and other are all Regulars but where them dey today

Dont ridicule the dead

if they had the choice to live they would have taken it

they died trying to restore calm to the country ( they were brave officers)

they will always be remembered

Eemekaok:

erimakosamuel:

If no....calm down and wait for the list,then argue better and as officers.

Na to enter be the Koko.

Cheers all.

And Friday na tomorrow oh.....I'm just saying based on previous posts....

Lol. its not a do or die affair. not everyone will become officers

zinaunreal:
You just keep confusing people sir
The highest rank in any given corp is major general, so how can nysc dg have two major gens at a time

When has the entire army ever had two lieutenant generals at a time?

Has the armed forces ever had two four star generals at a time?

Regular or not Every rank comes with an office.
They cant force rank on people just coz you are regular or dssc. The army is structured and organized

you didnt get me, there are two major generals in the education corp (NAEC - Nigerian Army education Corps) at the moment (it has not happened in a long time infact i dont think it has ever happened)

1. DG NYSC

2. Education corp commander

most DG's were retired as Brigadier Generals

AirmanB:
The former cheif of army staff was not an RC. He was originally an SSC officer.

the former chief was JTK Minimah and he was also a regular combatant not SSC

AirmanB:
The former cheif of army staff was not an RC. He was originally an SSC officer.

ehnnnnnnn

dont say what you are not sure of

LT Gen OA Ihejirika (Rtd.) is a regular combatant officer not SSC converted

the only close SSC officer that would have become Chief was the GOC 1 DIV like six years back ( cant remember his name)

Only the airforce accepts DSSC officers for Chief or air staff positions (however, you must be a pilot)

sojeee:
Hmm. Whether u like it or not, Army belongs to regulars, that's why we never had a COAS whom isn't a Regular officer.

did you see me say anywhere that the army doesnt belong to regulars?

sojeee:
We should just pray for Our Destiny to be good always.

Have you ever tried to wonder if hard work beats destiny?

i think we almost like to console ourselves with this ''destiny'' talk

sojeee:
RC's are always posted to juicy units to be rich and be commanders where there is comfort.

getting posted to these juicy units you said is also not automatic for RC officers

you most likely must lobby and have proved over time that you are a capable leader

and same way do DSSC officers lobby(but not for all positions, just some)

but you see RC, they can even be corp commanders of another corp.

enesi009:
Dg nysc was a dssc now drc and he his just recently promoted to maj General so u c anything is possible

Good

am glad you know this

now tell me the last time education corp had two major generals at a time ( bear in mind there are no regular officers in the corp)

go to other corps where regulars are in charge and do the maths

try NAE for example

zinaunreal:
You can lie ehhh. Ive seen alot of dssc/drc make major gen and brig gen. Wetin this one dey talk sef. I even know alot or rc that their careers got cut short at colonel . If you are determined to make it to the top of the pyramid you will . No come here dey discourage people like you own the army

Lol. discourage people??

i doubt you understood my post

[quote author=MorningStar233 post=73787391][/quote]no ooo.. For selection board you can go with braids or any style but look decent and make sure your hair is well packed.. however for training, that's when the dress code and all will be relayed

Heatup47:
Stop all this lies, "Army is Army".
RC, SSC and DSSC are all presidential commissions.

The only group, which I know calls DSSC and SSC officers names are NCOs(Non Commission Officers) who don't like the fact that after just 6/9 months training you become their boss.
Army is about seniority and seniority is as follows
RC, SSC, DRC, DSSC and EC.

you guys should stop discouraging applicants on this thread.

"Army is Army".

not all regular combatants would make major general

not all SSC officers would make Brigadier General

not all DSSC officers would make colonel

what i typed above is the usual rank officers of the various commissions should reach if they are discipline, cracked, good lobbyist and live long

if you check the army bible today, 70 - 80 percent major generals are regular combatants

10 to 15 percent are short service combatants converted to regular

5 percent or even less are DRC officers (DSSC converted to DRC)

so don't console yourself thinking army is army, except you are in the medical or education corp where regulars are not found

NerdyMe:
This one that Navy date is clashing with that of Airforce, which one sure pass abeg? How many people are being selected for each forces? And please, the format of the name, why's the middle name before my first name, is it like that for everyone?
