mangojuice:

no sir. This month

DRC Officer can get to Major General...(Corps commander)

Yes offcourse but how many of them compared to Regular officers

RC,SSC and DSSC are not the same.RCs enjoy all military privileges which an SSC can share if age is on his side. DSSC are office workers.When they start struggling for rank you will see what am saying.I cant envy RCs because i couldnt get it,I am happy with anyone that God gives me.When i was leaving for service some years ago,i know of a colonel in the next street to mine,up till now he is still a colonel while some RCs have come and passed him and is not that the man is not good infact he looks very intelligent and smart but he has been a colonel for a long time.

ej4sub:
DRC Officer can get to Major General...(Corps commander)

Guy,majority will be retired as Lt.Col.,very few will hang Col. and the annointed and favoured once can become Brig.Gen.Except medical doctors and some professions that they cant augment from NDA regular course.Mind you even those corps you that you think is made for DSSC ,some NDA RC are found there.eg.Ordnance,S&T,MP,ENGINEERS ETC

aihie1:


Bro DSSC can also convert to RC nahh. and can also rise in rank...nor be only SSC fit convert to RC..pls i want to ask again wat is the diff btw SSC and DSSC in terms of duties nd responsibilities in the ARMY? cos i was telling sumone dat DSSC guys re not deployed to fight...dont know if i am right

To the best of my knowledge,DSSC can only convert to Direct regular commIsion(DRC) not Regular Combatant(RC).Yes to an extent DSSC are not deployed to frontlines but are still military officers on uniform................terrorist will not ask you wether you are combatant or not before attacking you.Many DSSC officers or are various locations in the North-East.Mind you,is not only those carrying guns or in APCs(Armoured personal carrier) that is fighting BH. Medical personnel are also there.....though they may not be carrying guns,account officers are also there,Rev.Frs and Imams are also there.Admin.workers are also there.So wherever you find yourself within the theatre of war,you are involved.In my own thinking,anything you put your mind to please do it to the finnish,the chances of self defence and personal fitness is never the same among SSC trained and DSSC officers. Infact everybody need combatant training for any emergency.DSSC officers need to be combat ready incase their base is attacked.

Jammy05:
He started as a lieutenant but I think he carried that rank for 4-6 years

That was because he is DSSC, their promotion takes up to 5years and above.SSC/RC usually wear ranks for 4 years except from Lt.Col.to Col. and above which is political.Even at this stage regular combatant officer are more favoured and by then all SSCs have either being retired or converted to RC, so in essence,i think SSC/RC last longer all things being equal. You might want to read the profile of Brig.Gen.Olawumi the former DG of NYSC and the incumbent one Brig.Gen.Kazaure to buttress what am saying.

codedaz:
No I capt Abel voice..... he's now a captain

Hmmmm,Abel is quite young ooooo,he was sounding as DSSC officer,i overheard him saying that he just did his conversion to DRC this year.With that,becoming a Maj.Gen.is sure for him.I wish him goodluck

aallii:
List - training - commissioning - straight to Sambisa - gggggbbbbbbbrrrrrrrr shooting Boko boys - gggbbbrrr Boko Boys shooting back - two men one bullet - kill or be killed - one wiiner ( the bullet) - Aikin Soja...... good evening Gentle men potential Cadets. Sit back, relax and have a terrific film of your life. --->>----» Nigeria ( stage) North-East - South-South creeks, Militants, herdsmen,boko boys,kiddnappers,armed robbers ( Boss). Green boys, Airforce,Navy,para-militaries( actors), no The End for and 'NO' part 2. ENJOY.

Hhahahhaahahahah,is like you like war and fight oooo,dont worry you will shoot tire, and funny as it may sound, you may not see any real battle until you retire..................

All i know is that the delay will favour us,some might even get better jobs before then, and besides this harmmattan is harsh oooo,some persons that are allergic to cold will find it very difficult in this period at NDA coupled with harsh treatment. I think january is better so that we can have an uninterrupted training period.

Information made available to me indicates that training will resume on 7th of January,2017.With this you can figure out when the list will be released.Lets remain focused and remember that what will-be-will-always be.If you are meant to be in the army you will definitely be. I was just telling a friend that army job is not what you just use your money and buy because you might buy your death ,this is because you fixed yourself where you are not supposed to be.I think everybody should reflect and pray so that if you become successful after the waiting,you will be rest assured that you are where God wants you to be and because of that you cant die untimely.Happy Sunday to you all.

I f this info no come be true by tmoro,i will flog you soteee your name go change to pawpaw juice.................hahahhahahaah,just kidding ooooooooooo

Let them hold it very well

samobaba4u:
As a 2nd Lt, u will carry d rank for 3 good yrs. I mistakenly added d training yr to it that's y I said 4. The best cadet in 2014 POP is still on d rank and he said they will be hanging d second star next yr July but will be backdated to January. He was trained in 2014, he hang 1* 2015, 2016 & will still hang it till July 2017 before he will be promoted. Though d promotion will be backdated to January. So how many yrs?

Ok,thanks. This is one of the areas that that i think anything can be obtained,while at NDA someone asked same question and the officer told him that terms of condition change every year,that some wear 2nd Lt rank for 18 months,some set wear for 2 years,some even more than 2 years while some set may just wear it for 6 months,he said that it depends on the decision of the army council during training/POP.Please is it the same with RCs,because i used to think that theirs is just 6 months

abdul4moti:
The ultimate price. May his soul rest in peace.

What a great loss to the nation and his immediate family members and dependants,But i thought senior officers have some form of protection against coming directly in-contact with offensives,it might be difficult to get someone that is like him in the NA again.Please,how did it happen?

samobaba4u:

Ssc or dssc, it depends on ur choice. DSSC is office work (professional) of which u can convert latter if there is vacancy for conversion. SSC is strictly army work. In yr 2014 promotion, many dssc officers were promoted to Brig Gen even major Gen. Those ranks are politics. I hce seen a regular officer that was retired as Col. as in compulsory retirement. Former CDS Air Marshal Paul Dike was a DSSC officer though he's an air force officer. With God it is possible to reach d top echelon in d millitary especially when d political despensation at that moment favoured u. Some DSSC officer just gt there conversion recently at the rank of captain when some wil face COAS promotion board in couple of days. I mean from Brig Gen to Maj. Gen. Good luck to everyone. Hope u guys are getting ready?

Thanks for prompt response,what about NDA RC's,do they wear the 2nd Lt. rank for 4years too?

LTBaki:
Vetting of credentials is not known or announced. Its a security issue.

Offcourse i know and likewise others here,my question is when they are likely to do that,is it during training or before final shortlisting?

Jammy05:
They have investigated ur degree for now. At least they've called the school.

How did you know? Did they call your school?

samobaba4u:

The truth is that the last time I make enquiries I was told the list had been forwarded to COAS table for final approval. So cool ur mind. I don't want to be disturbing the informant.

Please i have a question for you,after passing out as SSC candidate from NDA,how long will one wear the rank of 2nd Lt.,secondly based on your knowledge of Nigerian armed forces which commission do you deem better for a graduate...SSC or DSSC, In-terms of future prospect i.e reaching the highest peak.Please i need your input,i saw some guys with courses advertised in DSSC but opted for SSC at NDA some months ago

Dear prospective cadets,at what point do you guys think the army will investigate our certificates or credentials?

sirmarry:
..........well said bt i hope d way ds whole tin is goin, dey won't cancel d exercise sha nd in my own opinion, d moni 4 d recruitment wld v bin available cos if dts nt d case, d selection board wldnt v bin possible nd again NAF havnt resumed training, d list is jst out as training commences January.

NAF has resumed training,infact the Batch B scheduled for january next year was asked to joinn others some weeks after they started,kindly make enquiries.............you can visit www.airforce.mil.ng

ssgumau21:
The issue behind this delay is finance, up to now they didn't get the money for the training even that January they must get the money first before releasing the list and call for training ... Real truth from the real source

Are you saying that money for training requires extra appropriation outside the main budget,because as far as i can remember,defense budget has be approved and released.Unless the money for training wasnt captured.On the other hand i also suspected something like this during the application stage.If you look at the defense budget,it is only NAF that has provisions for recruitment,promotion and appointment captured and that is why they resumed training in less than a month after selection board.My worry is that all major recruitment's that started this year has been concluded. EFCC has resumed and police will soon join

Jammy05:
although I've not lost hope but mehn this speculation is hurting.

Me too,i never expected it will be delayed like this.................but which one do you like.............for the list to be delayed and you find your name at the end or for it to be released as quick as possible without your name.It might be for some peoples favour.Persons that is allergic to cold will be favoured between january and october as against november and december harmattan.

nwankwochigozie:
hey, I have a little prob here. now, during the screening proclaimed by sum pple in this forum I learnt of drug test..... please does this refers to drug addict.

Yes,if you are a drug addict,forget about it,Unless you are smart enough in answering the psychological tests,even if you escape the test by the time you appear physically,they will find out,all the best.............if you are destined for NA, protocols can be changed because of you.
