waiting too.

I don't think the list is out,if it is let them post it.I dont know why people hate the truth,as it stands now all feasible date for release of the names as we anticipated after the selection board has passed.Please i suggest we forget about the list for now,NA may not likely ask us to come for training mid-november knowing fully well that in less than a month time people will start travelling for christmas. For now,the most feasible date for final shortlisting and training is mid-december,2016 and january, 2017,respectively. I also think that the only person that can give us a clue as regards to date of shortlisting is Samobaba in the other thread,we can all beg him to give us a clue.December and january is almost at the corner and personally i prefer next year so that we dont need to travel until sept./october passing out parade.

mangojuice:

i just like your name. make sense

Okay,thanks,are you Igbo?

As it stands now,no one knows the date for the release of the list talk more of training resumption. All we are seeing here is mere speculations.But is most likely that training may resume january next year which is not to far from now................................Goodluck to us all as we await the list.

As a military prophet, I see smiles and Jubilation come tomorrow Friday 27th October, 2016.

No be only list you go see.............. hand propelled grenade go join am.

Those regular cadets that graduated recently did their pop without SSC cadets. My friend passed out in 2010, I went for their pop, I didn't see any regular cadet with them. I don't know where u guys got this from, that regular graduate together with SSC, clarification please, with reference. All the best house.

I want to believe you didnt do a proper research before you posted this,RC 62 and SSC 43 passed out september,2015.............just go to NDA website and click on videos,your doubt will be cleared.In other news i like to be very objective and realistic in every thing i put my mind to.That you opted for DSSC because your course was listed is not an advantage in training..........for goodness sake you are going to join Nigerian Army not Civil defence or Road safety. I know a lawyer that joined army and i can tell you that he passed through rigorous military training,you had better develop a liberal mind now so that you will not have issues when training start.................with the experience of some persons that went to NDA for selection board.....we should just get ready for any eventuality.My advice.........if anyone make it as either DSSC or SSC CADET please endevour to learn all that is thought especially the physical training aspect............this is because terrorist or militants dont know that you are DSSC/SSC/RC. Morever you can be in Supply and transport or Ordnance corp which entails that you can travelling around for military assignments.You might be in medicals who will be responsible for treating injured soldiers......

mangojuice:

DSSC candidates should relocate to jigawa for military training abeg

Where will the corpers camp?The truth is that they are not ready,DSSC use to train at NASME Barracks,Makurdi and atimes in Ibadan.............I dnt think venue is the problem.Is very possible that resumption will be on the 7th of January,2017 as speculated by someone on this thread.This date is feasible going by the fact that NDA 63RC Passed out on 8th october this year,so if you check from january to october......it will amount to 9 months.

mangojuice:
I use this opportunity to announce my return.

Welcome,someone said you werent feeling too fine,how are you now?

[quote author=abdul4moti post=50471658] 26th is fast approaching, just keep ur fingers cross. Hope u have gotten ur kits ready?


I t seems you are very sure of this 26th,please someone said in a thread that training resumes 7th january, 2017,how true is that from your source?,thanks as you keep this thread lively with reliable information.

samobaba4u:

not yet. let me be sure first to avoid insults

Okay,big bros,we are waiting,you have been accurate all this while,so lets know when you confirm,good night

collins777:
It is not about when we are to commence cadet training but rather it is about when will the final list be out to know if you are going or not so you can know what to be doing now. No matter when training will commence, if you are sure of going, you won't be worried. Right now, a lot of people are already missing other opportunities because they don't know if they will make it or not by the time the list will be out.

Thats just it,NAF even released batch B list in july so that those guys can get ready,though they later called all of them.If the list is released and your name is there,u will just relax,keep fit and wait till when training starts anytime they deem fit. The case of 2014 was different,here the list was released and later postponed to january 2015 for training,there was no complain since all men know their status.

Jammy05:
None of his predictions on the list has worked na. Maybe him feel bad se we go kill am here when him come on the forum. Lol

Is not yet over until it is all over,perharps i doubt if he can fall sick just because his predictions didnt come through,remember none off us works works with the MS hence all comments are mere predictions and guess. As regards the list.............something tells me it can be released on monday and training resume by 5th of november..........The selection board list of NA SSC/DSSC 2012 Was released on a monday and they were asked to resume the next saturday,goodluck prospective cadets as we wait on God and NA.Happy weekend.

Jammy05:

This Guy only tells u when its not coming out. If he says next week then forget abt next week.

Hmmmm,is well

Spaco001:



Bros I disagree with answer no. 1. SSC and RC officers gets promoted to LT, 6 months after their POP that's d standard now, promotions for officers is now 5 years. As for the list we shld expect it next week.

Oga Spaco whats the latest, i have always trusted your source of information based on how you specifically mentioned the dates for the release of the selection board list in the late july,please you told us weeks ago that the list will come out last week which you later said we should expect it this week.As things are going,today is over..............will it still be released this week.Please can you make inquiries and tell us members of the thread on the possible reason for non-release of the list,thanks alot

Jammy05:
Make una relax, Abdul say na Wednesday. Why una no fit get faith na? 26th it is!! Sai 26th!!!! If e no show; Abdul go do wetting Mangojuice do simple.

Hahahahahahah,chai diaris german dose oooooooo

Eldonbrowny:
I just hope this doesn't linger till January next year.

The way things are going,i am beginning to think that the training may likely be January, personally am not bothered when the training will resume but the list,this type of delay can give rise to many things,the delay is taking much time. Army use to release the final list three to six weeks of completing selection board but here we are two months from final selection board and still counting,even the last NA SSC 43 that was later postponed to january didnt take this long to be released. All the same let us remain positive and wait on them,next week is still very feasible remember they only gave us one week to prepare for selection board exercise,it is possible for the list to be released anytime next week and we are asked to report on 4th,5th or 6th of november but if the list fails to come out next week then we just need to find sometime doing because the waiting may take longer,remember 2013 first selection which stayed up to a year before releasing, I just pray we dont stay that long.

Jammy05:

Col EO Ojabo

He appears calm but very disciplined,he nearly crippled one boy from South Eastern state for daring to establish contact with a corp member that invigilated at Cadet mess during exams.He is also very agile,i can remember seeing him highlighting from a moving hillux, also during obstacle crossing,he illustrated to all candidates how to chart through the last stage, i meant that long rope that involved climbing, hitting the rod and shouting your chest number,some of my friends avoided this stage.

mangojuice:

please tell us their names. I want to check their military background. I only know about LT GEN (Rtd)Ishaya Mamaiyi, MAJ.Gen MC Ali, MAJ.Gen Abduraman who were short service officers and later Regular combatant officers

Sorry for responding late,i have been busy all this while. Maj.Gen.Hamakin,Brig.Gen.FC Eze,Brig.Gen.JM Chima,Brig.Gen.CFJ Udaya and many others.You can confirm this from www.narc.org.ng, in defence and army headquarters they are also many eg Maj.Gen Shallangwa,the one just promoted by Buhari for an excellent job in the arms procurement deal

Please,have you confirmed if the info.here is the same as in CONAFSS,I mean do you have any officer that can confirm this

Spaco001:



Bros I disagree with answer no. 1. SSC and RC officers gets promoted to LT, 6 months after their POP that's d standard now, promotions for officers is now 5 years. As for the list we shld expect it next week.

Thanks for the info.But sir,lets be very objective here...........if promotion is 5 years then it will be difficult to reach Brig.Gen,very small number will hang colonel while majority will retire as Lt.Col.,some DSSC officers will even go as majors,you can check it your self considering our age now. I know of RC (formely SSC) officers who are Maj.General and many Brig.Generals now

Slexd:
is current army retirement age 60 or 62?

Is not just 60 years of age, there is what is called Run Out Dates(ROD), It was approved by Air Chief Marshal Oluseyi Petinrin (When he was CDS). Here, every rank has age limit and run out dates or better still age on rank retirement,for instance if you remain a Brig.Gen. at 56 then you retire immediately and so on and so forth,once i see the details i will post here

1.RC officers hang the rank 2LT for 6-8 months while SSC officers 2 years. DSSC officers get the rank of LT when commissioned and wait for 3-4 years to get promotion to the rank of captain.
2. 2LT-LT =2
LT-CAPT =4
CAPT-MAJ =4
MAJ-LT.COL = 4-5
LT-COL = 4-5
COL-BRIG.G = 4
BRIG G- MAJ G= 4
3. as a newly commissioned 2lt EXPECT N130K plus
I stand to be corrected

.Thanks for the info.,but me i was thinking that it is promotion from Lt.Col. to Colonel and above that is 5 years because here promotion is now shared among the geopolitical zones to ensure even representation......i heard it from someone.

mangojuice:

oga what type of commission you applied SSC abi DSSC?

SSC Sir

Spaco001:



training is first week of November n 8 candidates has been selected n approved by COAS.... na God hand we dey now.

Please Spaco001 and some other persons that has knowledge of NA should answer this question please.
1.How long will someone wear the rank of 2nd Lieutenant, i mean for this 63RC that just passed out last week saturday, how long will they wear that rank,is the duration same with that of SSC and DSSC?
2.How long does it take for promotion from one rank to another for officers,is the time duration same for both RC,SSC and DSSC.
3.What is the basic salary for a newly commissioned 2nd Lieutenant, does NA pay allowances?

Jammy05:

They can't take the same number for dssc, SSC 30 were invited per state while dssc were 20 per state. So maybe 5 per state for dssc and 8 per state for SSC.

Yea, thats what is supposed to be

Slexd:
dssc sir

Okay, I wish you well

aallii:
I can vividly remember what Captain Abdulllahi said' that many of you sitting down here are going to come back he swore to God, a minimum of 8 candidates per state will be selected'

.Correct, he said that while they were seizing phones at Bulama Biu drill shed when some candidates were answering calls at the drill shed......He said emphatically that many of us sitting down here are already cadets that we just need to behave ourselves so that you dont get disqualified on flimsy reasons

Slexd:
8 per state dssc or ssc?

. SSC, I doubt if NA can allocate such number to DSSC, though anything is possible. They can even take all candidate if they wish because we have the resources.Which one are you,SSC or DSSC?

Spaco001:



training is first week of November n 8 candidates has been selected n approved by COAS.... na God hand we dey now.

Thanks for the information, i can concur with the number of candidates to be selected,this is because while preparing to enter the board room at NDA Old Site,the steward asked me how many we were that is remaining from my state, i told her and she said 7 persons will be dropped that they need only 8 per state, but there is a possibility of fixing the remaining names in any nearby state within the same geopolitical zone if such state has shortfalls, in the case of south east, Ebonyi was just remaining 4,so there is a possibility of any south eastern candidate seeing his name there. For the south-south Bayelsa was worst hit by evictions right from day 1 of credential screening, infact almost half of them failed exam........ so any candidate from Niger Delta states can find his name there

Going by the passing out parade programm for 63 RC slated to hold on 8th october,and other celebrations to begin on 6th, it may not be possible for us to resume on 5th october since the venue of the one (on the 6th specifically) of the ceremonies to mark their passing out parade is to hold at NDA old site, though nothing is impossible
