When women delete chat.. They have everything to hide. Although 90% of women are unfaithful.

So move on..

EmperorShizzy:
I want to send you an email Sir

Alright. Send me a mail

Once sent let me know so I can remove my mail from post

Mulatta:
He couldn't cope with the training that was why he left

He deserted. He didn't resign/discharge. Its not the same thing. Just as you can walk away from your place of work if you cannot cope with your boss. It doesn't mean you resigned.

EmperorShizzy:
Bro are you a soldier

Yes.

linearity:
Get approved for a course does not waived the requirements for DSSC.

You can get your approval, get how many degrees as your heart desire, but will not be commissioned but you didn’t meet the criteria for DSSC.

Also, you only need approval if your study as a whole or partly will cut into your active service time or if you want some type of sponsorship from the military. With the advert of online degrees and NOUN, you can get a degree while fully still on active duty.

Though the above digress away from the point of the topic here, but suffice it to say that a Ph.D is possible even on active military service and that does not mean that, at the end of the day, you will become a commissioned officer.

Oh I think I get the point now. I had forgotten other alternatives like Noun existed.

It's sad to know such things happen in the military. I'm grateful to God my case wasn't like that.

babstee85:
you can resign anytime u like ,i av like two friend dat join last year ,dey were posted to borno ,after dere first leave .dey didn't go back ,if u stop dy will block ur account .u must use up to 10 years or more before u are entitled to ur pension and d more d years u use in service d more bigger ur pension ..

@emboldened

They deserted. They didn't resign. Just as you can choose not to go to work tomorrow. It's not the same as resignation. Don't confuse it.

And they would be court martialed if caught.

linearity:
Not all Ph.D holders are commissioned officers. Some are other rank and retire as such or move through the ranks just like others.

Direct Short Service Course have an age limit bracket of 22 to 35 years old and caps out at a max intake of 300 cadets across all three military disciplines per year.

How can an enlisted soldier attend a course to study without approval? When he is not on reserve but active duty? 80% of Nigerian Armed Forces are active duty.

Unless the soldier is retired. I agree.
But an enlisted soldier (NCO) on active duty cannot have a PhD in present day Nigeria. That's a fact. Even BSC they can't. Before they get approval for executive commission in NDA it takes grace of God. And even that, they are randomly selected by Defence HQ. They don't just wake up and go. So how did the enlisted dad get the PhD?

Let's start with that.

Checkpoints are illegal

Opoki:
I doubt if the rank of the father is near the bolded, from his words, the guy sounded broken so its likely the father is even non-comissioned officer. I dont want to say what i know about the nigerian army for the fear of the unknown but ask any educated southerner in the NA who joined as a recruit but has the chance to study.

First of all, all soldiers are educated in one way or the other. Minimum educational requirement for enlistment is SSCE and minimum for commissioning is BSC.

So someone who enlisted with bsc will be offered an direct short service course and would be awarded 2nd Lt. In the Armed Forces. Such person can never remain enlisted or non-commissioned. Let alone a Ph.d. Unless the guy himself doesn't know what he is talking about. If his dad has a Ph.d as he claimed, the father is a commissioned officer. If he isn't a GOC, he would either be a Captain or a Major. Colonels and Major Generals are in the battle field and some have Ph.d.

My point is, degree is not an exemption from battle. He is complaining that his dad with PhD is in the war front. It doesn't matter. Illiterates can't win wars. So PhD should be there.

Alright

linearity:
Am curious, what is his rank after obtaining his Ph.d? I see that you mentioned ‘Other Soldier’....that is not a known military term, unless you meant ‘Other Rank’.

It is a total waste of Human Resources to be sending a Ph.d holder to the battle front as an infantryman.

A Ph.d holder is most likely a commissioned officer. And commissioned officers are still "soldiers". His dad may be a commander. Or GOC. A commissioned officer is even needed at battle more than enlisted in my opinion.

Mulatta:
You can my bro did after 1years but no pension because you haven't served 10 years. The only way you can get pension is if you were injured in battle "serious injury not I stepped on nail am not doing again injury".

Hope your bro wasn't dismissed?

You cannot resign after 1 year of service sir. In fact, your first year of service you are still considered in training and either a 2nd Lieutenant or a Private. Both ranks cannot "resign".

Evestar200:
yes.

a friend of mine just resigned last month after 5 years in service.

Dismissal is different from resignation. Your friend was most likely dismissed or "asked to resign" (polite dismissal)

Desertion is a punishable offence. Why is there desertion if we can just resign? Why desert?

Resignation is possible indeed but must be approved by the Defence HQ under strict review. Most resignations before 12 years are usually rejected now. The Armed Forces have changed over the years. It isn't the Army of back then.

chiefojiji:
I'll see you when that next will be when u turn a major

Major in the police force? I don't think so

Lol.

Weak men running away from war.

Omeokachie:
Disregard for the rule of law and not insisting on doing things properly will frustrate the nation in no time when impunity finally sets in.

A stitch in time saved nine. Cutting corners, especially in governance and civil matters is invitation to anarchy in future.

It's not what you think

In my opinion, Nairaland needs

- Dislike button
- Built-in messaging system. Why should you pm me then we start talking via email? Let the pms be "in-house"
- Online payments for ads and automatic approvals
- Improved emoji
- Optional account verification like facebook and the likes

More guns... Less security

Lol

Honest answers please.

I'm actually taking a survey. I shall use these answers to Create another thread. I just want to get my facts first.

MhizzAJ:
I'm not in Nigeria
Thank you

Well, for those who live in Nigeria, the soldiers are trying. Don't be selfish because u aren't in Nigeria. If not for those soldiers, nairaland may not be as functional as it is since everyone would be in disarray and probably in mass graves or refugee camps

So respect the military no matter how bad they are. That Nigerian USA sergeant would kill a Nigerian in time of war. So what does that say? I'm not impressed with Nigerians serving in foreign militaries. I rather be a civilian abroad than be soldier abroad that one day I may be the one to bomb my father's house in the name of war or following orders of a white general.

Kylekent59:
Some people are so deluded in this life. Before you agreed to do do that,why can't you ask yourself this question; why is he that he does rituals to people but he is still poor. Why can't he make himself rich and keep all the secret to himself.

Why can't a barber barb himself?

Why can't a food seller keep d food in her house and eat it alone?

Why can't d doctor stay at home and be treating himself?

My point is, not everything is easy or free. Spiritual things are deadly. I've had enough experience to know that. So the prophet knows the price of those things and would not do it to himself neither did he force anyone to do it. They go to him on their own accord.

A prophet once told me he can't loose his child when I asked him to do an immortality jazz for me. Obviously the prophet is legit. I've done so many stuff with him. And has helped me survive in life. So for him to turn me down on that. Obviously it works but there is a price. Life for life.

Now I ask, why didn't the prophet give himself immortality? It's simple.. He can't loose his kid. Neither could I loose my own child so I walked away in peace.

So my friend, spiritual things are real. Demons are real, powers are real, just that the fake full everywhere. Those who have the original, have it.
