As it is here, even though with the tension, I still want to wish everyone Merry Christmas. Please do remember to drink responsibly, remember we might be called anytime from now. Like someone said, u don't wanna go back home after coming this far because of alcohol test failure.

The reason for the fiesta bless us all. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Oluwa, Chineke, Dan Allah, enter Army PRO heart make he speedily tidy up matter on 'em own end. Digging says list has already been tidied. Na Army PRO remain make e communicate am to us public.

erimakosamuel:
Does the slot apply to only the first list or both first list and the final (NASB) list as well?

How would you face the NASB without the first list? Though i do not doubt any possibility. This is Nigeria!

If you do know, you sure know. Don't waste resources signing for now. Waste every bit of everything you've got, know, and posses on your name making the list. Ask the experts who are veterans in the field, they will tell you how it has been. I have been a victim, so i do know from experience.

If a Brig. General says he has submitted his 2 slot allotted to him by now and says no more show, i bet you know what that means.

I know and believe grace speaks, so please, do not lecture and quote me with that. The sole purpose of this is just for every potential cadet to network majorly on their name making that list. some silent python monitors this thread harnessing info, yet they dont speak. Don't be deceived sirs/ma

God bless.

Network your possible best now.

Gentle Men cadets

I think almost all questions that have been asked has one way or the other revolved around how the interview is going to be, but why can't you all move further to ask these gentle men officers these following questions on when enlisted what actually happens sometimes as to give you more morale of kill the one you have already.

@Sherrif232 and @mangojuice can you cracked officers help the intending cadets share your experiences at training which could be much but would be glad if you could treat these questions with the answers if not more for those enthusiasts wishing to know more than just the surface.

1. Most of the intending cadets would like to know how, when selected how is it inside as per SSC and DSSC like how would the cadets be welcomed..? Like would they start hunching from the gates and the likes how would they be given their battalions and their kits any grooming party and stuffs of that nature.

2. How is training like e.g first 3 months would it be bloody is it all about jobs and all, how do people buy job and how's it paid for, obstacle crossing going to visit various formations, what drills are taught and as from what month to what month e.g matching, weapons handling e.t.c Bush camping is it done how and where, are there classes what are being taught and all.

3. As some joined for the pay would you be as kind as giving them the range as for SSC being a lieutenant and DSSC being a 2nd Lieutenant their salary and perks are they given allowances how is the allowance paid and all what other packages and benefits are there when one joins as oppose some other jobs, as well as what they get when in camp e.g what they would be paid in camp and what they are entitled to. after camp would they be given a huge bucks like a sign on fee to be able to set up their house and get a ride and stuffs like that because some see it as a means to get out of unemployment others see it as a means to upgrade pay so that they would know what they are getting into.

4. The HTACOS can you please explain to them how it's run I.e how many years from one rank to another how many exams one needs to pass run out date on rank based on age and the likes so they know what they are facing so as not to be stagnant, as well as to calculate their ages and know their fits and their last laps and how promotions are done.

5. Are appointments given to cadets in camp just like the regulars that get appointments and what are those appointments and what do they mean and their duties and pros and cons as well.

6. Are SSC and DSSC cadets sent for courses abroad just like the regulars that the best in a field in the three arms are sent abroad to go complete his/her training is that also found there or after pipping is there any way they give best in anything where such is sent on courses abroad.

7. And accommodation after being commissioned how is it done like we all know there are barracks almost all over the country how is it done and given out duo almost everything is delapedated can one get his own accommodation outside and rent is there any support like allowance paid for those not staying in the barracks and all.

8. In terms of pass i.e going out not AWOL how many passes are given to both the SSC and DSSC and what does pass entails.

9. Hows the POP going to be preparations on terms of drills matching and how's the launch and dinner of POP going to be.

10. How are deployment letters given is it same day or when and how are you guys mobilized to go to your new unit were you guys given breaks before resuming work fully.

I don't mind gentle men officers writing epistle on each questions so as to get the intenders more grounded for what they are about to face information is power but when used as well as when harnessed from the right channel.

I think @lebete3000 can also share part of his experience he had in DSSC as well.


The army job is not a job for all, its a job well bought and well served.

Intending cadets stop assuming
You would suffer is that clear..?
What is clear..?

You all would be cracked to be born again is that clear...?

This is so we won't have deserters when they all come for training or saying had I known I wouldn't have left my civilian job, so as not to loose on both ends, as well as to give space to others who are willing, able and ready.

I think I would stop here for the intending cadets more can also be asked if they so wish.

Sir, the meticulous way you have asked the above questions, and with the in-depth knowledge at which they are all analysed, my instinct tells me you are a personnel, if not in the army, it would be in the other two-sister's arm, a novince/outsider couldn't have layed 'em out the way you did. Though veterans in the field had thrown their own bit of light to the shade, but from following your comments, there is still more to meet the eye than what has been juxtaposed by the sirs in the room. Sir, you would be doing us a great deal of help /favor if you would be kind to give answers to those questions above, or at the least point us towards the direction of where to get answers from. At this stage, we love and would appreciate any epistle (as you called it earlier) you would be willing to dish to us. Thanks in anticipation sir.

kratoss:
Ofcourse i know, is your waec result and neco not part of your certificates?? My qstion is... Is it only your Bsc certificate that shouldn't exceed that obtained from 2012 or it includes your 0 levels aswell... because my waec ws obtained 2010 that was why i asked that question..

sir, its the last recent certificate obtained, which in this case will be your BSc/ BA certificate. I doubt if further certificate are honored in SSC apart from the degree cert, but I am positive it is welcomed in DSSC.

geezy3:

To the little of my understanding about the SSC/DSSC stuff; the year of graduation matters, like last year they requested for certificate not later than 2012 for ssc; Age is also another factor you'd want to consider in choosing the appropriate commission, as SSC is for ages between 24-29 while DSSC accepts for older ages. so I think with this you would be able to make your decision better
