HOW DO I ENROLL FOR ARMY SSC??
xule20:
SSC is a Combatant Short Service Commission
(formerly known as Short Regular Commission,
SRC) that is meant for those interested in field
Operations AKA War or peace-keeping or Combat
Operations (U assume the rank of second
Lieutenant in the army -*- and R usually fielded into Infantry Corps of the Nigerian
army after 9mths - 12mths of training); after
18mths - 2yrs U receive your first promotion to
Lieutenant -**- and your subsequent promotions
are 4years a rank or as vacancies/slots arise.
When U achieve your 6th Year (Usually when U R
or awaiting to assume the rank of Captain -***-),
U will have the option to retire or convert to
Regular commission after a physical exercise; U
will receive 2 chances each year to pass this
after which at your third fail U will go on
compulsory retirement. N.B;- NDA graduates R
on Regular Commission by default; This grants
them automatic right to hold any appointment
anywhere in the armed forces; a right SSC may
share if God, age and politics is on your side.
DSSC is Direct Short Service Commission and is
meant for professional Officers interested purely
in administrative functions of the army (U will
assume the rank of Lieutenant -**- after training
and will be fielded into any of the Corps where
vacancies exist for your discipline after 6-7mths
of training). Your First 2 ranks will be achieved
after 5years of promotion each. In your 10th
year, you will have the option of retiring or
convert to Direct Regular Commission which will
involve mainly just a medical exam and filling a
couple of documents after which U will be
deemed converted and subsequent promotion will
be achieved on a 4year basis a rank or as
vacancy/slots exists N.B;- Direct regular
Commission legally can achieve any rank except
the APEX rank in each armed forces; In the case
of army Lieutenant General. However they
cannot hold any Major appointment that demand
control of combatant troops, unfortunately most
of these appointments R usually assigned to
Brigadier or Major Generals (a rank that usually
has very limited slots/vacancy for occupancy
compared to number of officers qualified to filled
them) so most times in the past, DRC don't
usually proceed after the rank of Lieutenant
Colonel or Colonel - though this trend is fast
changing as DRC now achieve the rank of
Brigadier General even Major General, thanks to
Democracy......
A B. ed can go for DSSC if there is vacancy in
the Education Corps only beyond that no hope; a
B. ed can go for SSC as what U read doesn't
matter everybody will just face Infantry (The
Combat land troops department of the army).
Education Corps is for teachers and staff of
Military school and military institutes, Infantry is
war, peacekeeping and training for other
combatant troops....
Yes a B.Ed can go for all armed forces but only
army has SSC the rest have only DSSC.....
Jets and Crafts/Vessel is exclusively for NDA
graduates and not DSSC
Special forces R members of the armed forces
trained for specific field OPS (for Now boko
Haram & counter insurgency is the core of all
Special forces training course menu) Airforce
has QRF (Quick response force), Army has CTU
(Counter terrorism Unit)..........
Military reserve R meant for Mass recruitment/
re-engagement into the armed forces in the
event that the armed forces or the Nation is
overwhelmed by a foreign or local threat. Retired
officers fit the profile, also Civil defence and
other paramilitary bodies can be conscripted in
the event of a General state of
emergency...........
Pistols R meant specifically for commandants/
Commanders/Service Chiefs or as occasion
demands. Usually the culture is for your Aides to
carry arms for U as a very senior officer; a very
senior officer or a commander will only agree to
carry in the event that his unit is on Military alert
(by this time every personnel will be on
camouflage only all day of the week instead of
switching between other variants of their
uniforms)......
Usually for SSC in recent times, 30years is the
maximum and 26 is the minimum but if U R
younger and have your first degree U will be
accepted. DSSC for army and airforce is
minimum 26 to 35 maximum but even if U R
younger with a first degree U R welcome. Navy
insists on maximum of 30yrs and younger with
first degree for DSSC.......
Army, Navy, Air force is anyone's choice. Army
is a place people R wary of because they have a
tradition of promoting at a slower rate than
others (though that is changing now), Air force is
a place deemed better than army in terms of rate
of promotions, though the level of discrimination
for appointments against DSSC is far higher than
that of army (in the army the man who can do
the job and is qualified gets its; airforce they will
consider Regular Commission qualified or not
before DSSC). Navy is deemed the best in terms
of pay and other things; the problem is that its
deemed the most difficult to enter...........so U
choose as your Spirit leads
