The answer is No, because they already have the orientation while serving the fatherland.

Bros you are right...
Military Personnel are not allowed to go for Nysc one year Service.
This also implies to Police and other Para-Military Personnel serving Nigeria.

Oga, I still put it to you that you're highly misinformed. No one said it's automatic qualification to be a soldier on graduating from NMS. If you were born into this you won't be dishing out this thrash of an information. Next time know the difference between a soldier and a Commissioned officer. The students in NDA are cadets they become commissioned officers after their Pipping I have many family members that have gone through NMS and I currently live very close to NMS. Few years ago, Exboys had the option of enlisting into the Army and are posted to their units without any further 6 months trainings to make them soldiers.. to put it to you again, the training of new recruits is done at the Chindit Barracks, Zaria where the Nigerian Miltary School is located not Jaji..Jaji is specialized training in Infantry. Stop misinforming people please. Any ex-boy who is currently still serving it is illegal to participate in the NYSC as you are already on the government pay roll in the army...Your parents might be Retired Soldiers not officers but that doesn't make you think you know much about NMS..Do you know where other soldiers don't like them? Be sure of the special priviledge of furthering their schooling in higher institutions if they chose to. Do you know what those in school are called? BOY SOLDIER..even though they are not full fledged soldiers until they are deployed and fully enlisted into the Nigerian Army pay roll.

Young Man, Let me make it clear to you guys here.
If you finish from NMS there are three things involved, which you must get yourself into:
1. Get admitted into NDA as an Officer Cadet (Very Competitive).
2. Accept to Continue with the Army but as a Pvt Soldier.
3. Proceed with your normal Civil life.

Where some of you get it wrong is No. 3
Once you choose No. 3 yes you are an Ex boy.
Remember as an "Ex-boy" you remain an Ambassador NMS anywhere.
You can still join the Military fully if you want by applying along with Civilians because you are now among them but very distinguished. Which implies you still have higher chances.

For instance as an ex boy your plan is to join the military as a graduate but you didn't get admission into NDA because of its competitiveness. You can goto any civil tertiary Institution. As a graduate of any civil tertiary Institution you are expected to get Nysc discharge or exemption cert.

In that case as an Ex boy once you're not more than 30 years as at time of Graduation from the civil tertiary Institution you must serve Nigeria through NYSC one year compulsory Service.
Having gone through NMS is not an automatic criteria for Discharge Certificate unless you are above 30years as an ex boy after graduation from tertiary Institution.

It's only those that are into full service in the military, paramilitary, police, etc that are exempted from going to Nysc. If you are an Ex-boy and you feel you are too big to go for NYSC then you are wrong.

If you apply for exemption certificate while filling nysc form with your NMS number then you are also wrong, though you might be given the exemption by mistake as it's generated online NYSC because you applied for it (that is if there's no verification for exemption but if there's verification you won't get exemption). And you will still face challenges later. Because you got it wrong.

NMS is a military secondary school it's very rigorous, core military trainings are involved. You go for range and other bush exercises. Your parent must Sign consent form before you could join NMS.

Section 11 of the NYSC act did not exclude NMS exboys from Serving.
Because NMS is not a Military Tertiary Institution but rather a Military School (Secondary).

All this implies that as an Ex-boy Solider of NMS(Army) you are expected to go for NYSC. Same applies to
Ex-boy Solders of (Airforce and Navy Military Schools).


Gentlemen is that Clear?
