If you wish to join the Nigerian Navy through the Direct short service commission, here are few things I wish to let you know from my personal experience.

Last year 2017, I applied for Dssc course 25 towards the end of my NYSC and from my state I was among the last 10 that made the final Interview, unfortunately I was not short listed on the final list. *painful shaa* *but I was satisfied I didn't even know I would go far*

The Mindset:
Now you need to believe that you have a chance when applying.

Applying:
To Apply, just get the form filled at www.joinnigeriannavy.com .. No special thing about filling the form, the referee doesn't matter. Anyone without criminal record is OK.
Print Your form, it must not be coloured, don't waste your money.

Filling The Form:
Fill all the required information in the form, get the police certification and L.G A certification. For the Guarantors form, don't waste your time waiting for the area commander to sign or a senior military officer, it doesn't matter, Any Civil servant upto level 16 in state service can sign it. A school principal can sign it.

After filling the form, photocopy it and keep, just in case of anything.

Preparing For The Exam:
OK, to even go for the physical screening and further screening at lagos you need to pass the first exam.

you have to read current affairs, read as much as you can, know about recent political affairs around the world, just read current affairs generally.

Then For the maths and English, someone told me what to read and it worked like magic, I hope it works again. Get the latest or the latest two versions of GMAT and Read. Read it well well, in fact cram it!

Then pray that God see you through.

Going To the Exam:
Just dress well, A Jean and polo is OK, Go early but be assured you won't start till its afternoon.

the exam will last maybe 1hr or less, obey their instructions. Go with writing materials.

They will verify your documents before the exam, if your result is less than 2:1(second class upper) don't waste your time going, they won't let you in.

When shading the answers, be as fast as you can.

GoodLuck

Next Stage!
If you passed the exam, your name will be short listed in a list of 20-30 names per state, inviting you for further screening at lagos.

Congratulations!

Going For The Screening :
Now you are closer! get ready to feel like you will get the job *lol*

In the short list on their website, you will see requirements, if possible buy the things you need before going, if you can't, don't worry much, everything is sold at the Gate there.

Go with your bed sheet, toiletries, cutlery and Money.

You will stay in students hostel, Go with a bag you can lock if possible.

Early Days:
On arrival they will first get your data.

Followed by certificate and documents verification.

*Dont worry, the will feed you morning, Afternoon and Night, but it won't be your normal dose, but you can always buy more from sellers in the camp*

Intermediate days:
After the verification comes medicals.
During medicals, a lot of tests would be conducted, like sight, ECG, HIV, BP, X-ray, Pile, height, psychological test, dental, weight. etc.

during BP test, be calm so your BP won't rise above normal *lol*

before you go, loose weight so you won't be overweight.

Late Days:
After medicals, many many people will go! during my time we reduced from 27 to 10.

If you are lucky to pass medicals, Congratulations! You are closer to the uniform *winks*

At this point food will start to be big during meals *Enjoy*lol

Get Ready For physical test and another exam!

Physical Test:
You will run, 3.5 kilometres

They will say the time of return doesn't matter, don't kill yourself, but it matters! come back within 10minutes, 1st group, within 15minutes 2nd after that 3rd. All grouped differently with different marks

After the run, you will do push up and sit up immediately!

30 push up = 6marks (maximum point given)

anything less = 4 points

Same applies to sit ups.

Do as much as you can, but just know that points are recorded!

After the physical exercise comes another exam!

The exam:
You will be asked to write essay on how you will improve navy with your skills. (this might change)

Read current affairs too, the English and maths won't be so hard like the 1st exam. also know about navy.

Congrats, it's time for Interview!

The interview :
You will face a panel of about 15 officers, don't be intimidated, they are friendly.

They will ask you random questions, from current affairs to your field of study, it anything they like. just answer.

if you applied under education they might as you to write something on the white board.

Good luck

It's Time To Go!

They will give you all 9k for transport.

*I forgot, even if you failed medical, you will still get the money before leaving *

At least you can use it and drink beer, even if they don't employ you *hehehe*

Now Go Home and Pray!

The Truth:
You have done your best but, this is the truth, this is why I didn't get job!

Who do you know?

Out of 10 of us that made final interview only one person was short listed along side two people from their special medical enlistment.

The slots are given to senators, Generals and top politicians, your chance is almost zero! Remember about 1000-3000 people apply per state and only 3 will be taken

If you have someone that can help you, go and seek the persons help.

this is more important than anything else. beg the person even before you go for the first exam, If the person has a slot, you might be helped!

What if you fail?

Enjoy the experience and move on!

You can ask me anything! Good Luck!

Maybe he's infested


But I don't give a crippled, crawling fvck anyways

GoTV:
Even though I'm a born again Christian, i think the federal government should reintroduce firing squad for armed robbers and yahoo boys to be televised nationwide so as to serve as a deterrence to other would be criminals

Trutherme:
Back in the years, there was serious deterrent and people used to sleep with their doors open.

There was something called 'firing Squad'. They will bring them to their villages and execute them in front of their people.

I pray they will not tell us one day that this one 'escaped'.

Buhari jubril doesn't look happy at all judging from the pictures.

Umahi: let me pretend as if I didn't offend this fulani bigot. Let me act very humble so long as I clear my name with Mazi NK and cancel my ipob travel ban

Buhari: a fight against herdsmen is a fight against me. Umahi think I don't know his plan against my people. He is here to discuss their South East Governor's verdict against my cows

If you are with me,

KODACK:
Forgive me.
Why I gave such a response was because......all the information about DSSC and SSC are on the army website.....all he needed to do was to open the link and read all the information therein.

Also, gentle men on this respectable thread have dropped alot of information about DSSC and SSC here.....even of recent, more information was dropped....... All it takes is just to open each page on this thread and fill your head with lots of information,laffs and cry...... Cos this thread is packed full with alot of stuffs.

Once again...... No vex for my response, doesn't mean I would stop been sarcastic tho

KODACK:
The D is the difference

ugo4u:
Take it or leave it, SSC will be training at Afaka(NDA new site) while DSSC cadets will train at NDA(Old site, Ribadu).
All of you must suffer irrespective of the course, Those at Afaka will nearly die, but they won't die, Even terma1 that will be about three months older than you will chawuz ur skulls. Is that clear?!!!!!

KODACK:
Sense keeeee you there........ Yeye pikin

KODACK:
But school isn't your passion na........

boogie2910:
bro kindly help me with their support email address.

Lukas47:
Just a reminder, if you have a good paying job, a federal Civil Service job or any other, I won't advice you to apply don't forget DSSC and SSC is 15yrs without extension that's if you failed to convert and conversion is also based on availability so the moment you make it start planning like you won't convert.

The level of man-know-man in the DSSC recruitment is far higher than that of the SSC (except the DSSC is going for the medical field).

Again don't leave a good paying job for the army in the name of passion, transfer that your passion to your Job.


This is my 2cent

KODACK:
You are either a recruit or an officer.

So,


Go n join recruit na......to really show us and prove to God that you are passionate about becoming a soldier.
