Arcike, it is a punishable offence to chaos an officer of the LAW!, and as for phoebia learn to respect the intergrity of we civilians lol.

Whether NDA or no NDA we are still bond as we use to be. Atleast there use to be a one 68RC-family but today where is it?, we should rather think of the task ahead whether we become successful or not we must meet alot challenge but our regards to nature will solve many.

Everybody on this thread may get to the Gateway-of-Generalship but can everybody become a General and if everybody becomes a General can we all get the fullest of authorities?.

While I was a kid I wanted to be an engineer, as time goes I reverted to being a Doctor, and later a Pilot during my early teenage, my first year in Senior Secondary School I was selected as a science student base on the JSSCE apptitude exam, and I thought dreams of being a Pilot was around, but as time went I got to love "justice" so i ported to art department just to become a Lawyer. My parent where really shocked with my action but they can't choose me a career, even my peers felt like I was unserious but I choose to do what makes me comfortable.

Just the following year after SSCE, voila the passion of being a Military-Man aroused I told my mum of this and she never denied my dream. Sincerely my first shot was 68RC, though that shouldn't have been my first attempt but due to love for creativity I decided to get some like-knowledge. A classmate of mine once looked down at me she said I don't know my stand, was she wrong? No she was right with the wrong sentence.

What you become has been endorsed by God, we only take attempts of what our eyes appease to the brain and not the spirit, and if you don't excel then you're not qualified (not in academics or whatsoever). If I try and try and I don't make it that is I am not suppose to be there.

No haste in life!, if our successful cadets knew they will be among those God will grant mercy into the NDA they will never bother to work hard.

69-prospectives, be ready for the worst and accept the outcome whatever way it comes.

am a fool tank u, but I know dat am way beta Dan u.. if you read my last reply, u would c dat I mentioned d criteria for airforce i.e height and weight..simply cos u were shortlisted shouldn't give u bragging right and 4 ur info I attended both 67rc and 68rc afsb. by doing way, dey both chose airforce as der 2nd arm of service... 67rc I was dsq 4 being underaged and 68rc I passed medicals but didn't face board due to unforeseen events... respect d way u talk to ppl...if I wrote ndaee 500tymz I will be invited for afsb 500tymz... but like dey say, Wat matters is d final list...believe me when I say u will c me in academy nxt yr... I will find out ur name Shey na 67rc go b una prep wingers...am just laffing at u

Ok sir, I've heard... Thanks for the advice

arcike:


Young man stop saying Wat u don't know...i Hv 2 of my guys both 19yrs dat were given airforce.... All u hv 2 do is hav d right height and weight... Tho 2 b under 18 is also a factor but nt important... 68rc

I HOPE U r not thinking of joining the Nigerian military coz if so I'd advice U nt to. If u can nt adhere to instructions den military way is nt ur way.
Now if you may, ask any of these ur friends that was given airforce if airforce was wat they chose initially. Infact I shouldn't be quoting U coz only a fool welcome at someone without full understanding of an issue.
There was a friend of mine during 67rc who chose army Bt was given airforce at the end, he was 19 ND has airforce body (if you understand wat I mean).
IF U r more than 18 ND are applying for airforce, the portal wouldn't even save ur info ND will neva summit it coz d service u chose is contradicting with the age u put nt to talk of during afsb whr u'd stipulate how old u'd be as at August (e.g 18years 4months). So u Cn only be lucky to get airforce if U av airforce requirements (except age which u might be older than 18) u might be picked for airforce. Arcike, take correction

phatriqk:
i made68rc too oh. but my school z refusing to gv me testimonial oh, wat do i do nah.....i have statements of result though

Carry military men go chaos dem so dey'd know how important it is to U

darkhorizon:
bro, please i am planning ahead for the 69RC,what is the age bracket for the airforce,as in what is the oldest age accepted.

18 is the oldest u Cn be by the end of August of the year u are applying, not a month older, not a day older.

Thanks Allah for making it work, this was my second time trying, I facedboard the first time but didn't make the list and now God has done it

For U guyz that didn't make d list, get closer to ur God, work harder and have string faith coz failure isn't fatal, it's only a lesson. Learn from it ND Forge ahead, only a fools does the same thing again and again, maneuver and get a different result. Don't make the same mistake twice. Prepare well guyz and it shall be yours.

=========== COMPREHENSIVE AFSB REPORT ===============
What’s up fellas, here is a brief report of First Batch experience of the Armed Forces Selection Board for the 68th Regular Course of the Nigerian Defence Academy, enjoy.

ARRIVAL
On Saturday May 28, 2016, we reported at the Old Site of the Academy, within Ribadu Cantonment, before Kawo Kaduna. On arrival at the Gateway to Generalship, we doubled into the Academy premises with our luggage on our head. We are then asked to sit on the ground of the reception centre according to our states for documentation; here, after the authenticity of the applicants have been confirmed, they are issued chest number upon payment of N2,500 for verification of WAEC/NECO/NABTEB O’level results. It doesn’t matter if you are using more than 1 result. After the documentation, we were asked to cover up in 3s (that’s the standard in the Academy, you must jog in 3s), and were moved to the Bulama Biu Drill shed for credentials screening.

CREDENTIALS SCREENING
The credentials screening commenced immediately after documentation, and you sit in the drill shed according to your state i.e. each state sitting on a straight row, and you proceed one after another to your state’s screening officer. When it was dark on the first day, the exercise was spilled over to continue the second day. During the screening, they will check if you have the relevant/compulsory credits for your course of study; if you are under/overaged, and if there’s a mismatch in your date of birth across your documents.
In the mean time, candidates were matched to the cadets’ mess for their lunch/dinner; after eating, we proceeded to the ‘5-star accommodation’ which used to be the former hostel of cadets, battalion by battalion. My state was taken to a newly renovated accommodation codenamed ‘IDP camp’ because of only_God_knows_why. There are about six beds of 2 bunks each with 2 toilets/bathrooms for each room, plus 1 or 2 bucket. It is indeed a 5 star accommodation that compete with Sheraton, Transcorp et al. Due to the stress of the day, you are very likely to fall asleep quickly, but not for so long because you will be woken up 3 am. By 5 am, we were taken to the mess for our breakfast of tea and bread….the bread is good, but I cant say much for the tea. Maybe it’s because it’s too hot; or maybe it could be because of the pressure to gulf the whole stuff down your throat in less than 10 seconds. The Mess Staff Sergeant is there to keep you on your toes and make you realize that you are not eating in your father’s dining table. This is the Academy…………………..wereyy

Going back to business, those states that are yet to finish their credentials screening will return to the drill shed, while those that are done will go to the parade ground. There, they will dry you under the sun for 12 hours straight, you will grind your yansh on the ground until your anus begins to whistle.
After the credentials screening, results are called the next day i.e. on Monday. Jeez, I hate Mondays. Those who are found wanting are called out and taken to the drill shed; there, they are briefed on the cause of their disqualification, and then stripped of their chest numbers. It pains to see your friend go home so early.

PYSCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT TEST
After those who failed credentials screening are dismissed, the remaining candidates were taken to the cadets’ mess to write their psychological assessment test. This aim of this test is to find out if you have mental konji….lol. The psychological assessment test is to ascertain the state of your psychological make-up, cognitive ability and thinking faculty. They will ask you questions about your childhood and many other factors, I strongly advice you to be sincere, because if you try to hide the truth, they will still find out because it contains structured questionnaires that are interconnected in terms of internal consistency.

MEDICALS
The next day is Medicals….the medicals is very elaborate and many parameters are included to determine the true state of the candidates’ health, among which are blood test (diabetes, HIV, hepatitis, cholesterol etc), urine test (excessive sugar or protein level), physical evaluation (height, flat feet, scars, BMI, incomplete balls etc), physiological test (chest x-ray), eye test (short/long sightedness, color blindness etc), dental evaluation, ECG, blood pressure etc.
The physiological test was done at the old site, while candidates were conveyed in the Academy’s buses to the Permanent site for the other tests at the Medical Centre. At the permanent site, you will see many things….cadets with broken legs, arms, necks etc; ambulances bringing in sub/unconscious cadets every now and then….....u go know say to be a combatant cadet no be beans.
The medicals took about 3 days to complete for all the states; after which most candidates were called for review i.e. to re-check or validate any area that a candidates is found wanting….the review took another 2 days to complete. During these periods, candidates were left at the multipurpose hall to die of boredom….with many MPs and Intel guys issuing you threats as if you just stole both of their kidneys.
The results of the medicals were called on Sunday………however, candidates were given to opportunity to go to church to make deal with their God. After service, everybody assembled at the parade ground, the medical team as well as most of the members of the selection board were present. It was indeed the a day of reckoning, even the sun was not left out, the fear of the Lord came upon it to the extent that it was clothed round completely with the rainbow….Oluwa is involved
By the time results were called, the sheep were separated from the goat and most states lost about 45% of its candidates to the medicals. There was a state that had just 12 candidates left. You know what that means. Those who failed the test, were summoned to the drill shed for briefing and extraction of chest numbers.

APTITUDE TEST
Shortly after the medical results were announced, the remaining candidates proceed to various location to write the aptitude test. The test comprises of objective and written questions. The written part is an essay on a topic, as may be chosen by the board; while the objectives
include questions from English, Mathematics and General Knowledge/Current Affairs. Not really difficult sha.

THE 3.2 KM RACE
This event is probably the most talked about of the all the selection exercises…..un/fortunately, it is under/overrated. A day after the medical results, candidates are assembled at the starting point of the race, just outside the academy gates. Male candidates are allowed 18 minutes, while female are allowed 22 minutes; and it is segmented in cages. Those who run the race within 18 minutes enter the first cage, those who come later enter the second cage and so on.
The race commences on the blast on a whistle…..with a surveillance drone controlled by a pilot watching you throughout the race in case of any mago-mago (such as following shortcut or taking a lift) for this batch, we started out first by eating the hills like yam, and then drinking the slopes like honey. You will nearly gas-out but you won’t…..as long as you’ve been practicing. The Academy Stallion (the guy who came first) was a Benue candidate…..mehn, the dude was competing with the front ambulance; while the First Lady was from Delta.

INDIVIDUAL OBSTACLE CROSSING
The individual obstacle crossing was done the next day…..before commencement, you will be brief on the dos/don’ts by being given a good and bad demo by physical trainers. The obstacles to be crossed includes the red barrier which whose by jumped without touch, the green barrier, the barbed wire, the 6-feet wall, monkey bridge, tarzan rope, tunnel etc. Perhaps the most difficult of all of them is the last long rope which you must climb and touch the green top…I heard it earns more marks. My advice is that if you know your arm is strength is not strong enough to power you through, ensure to assist by grabbing the rope with your legs after each pull up.

GROUP OBSTACLE CROSSING
Unlike the individual obstacle, the group obstacle involves lot of the brain work, care, diligence, team work and cooperation. Each state is split into like 3 groups and each group must undertake 3 tasks with a maximum of about 5 minutes allocated for execution of each task. The 3 tasks to be carried is usually selected from any of these: (1) Retrieving the sniper rifle (2) Retrieving the map (3) Retrieving the diamond (4) Crossing the mine field (5) Crossing the island (6) Burying the dead soldier etc. Just think outside the box and work together as a team.

SAND MODELLING
This is another task which generates lots of interest. The sand modeling, also known as ‘planning’ exercise is a thought provoking mind game with requires minimal strength and maximum boldness and mental thinking. It is some form of abstract/imaginary exercise that simulates likely real life circumstances, and features your actions/reactions as a military officer/commander. It usually involves a crime/accident scene that needs your actions as an officer while ensuring minimal loss of life.

FACING THE ALMIGHTY BOARD
Facing the Board is probably the most dreaded/anticipated part of the entire selection process….because this is where your fate lies. The board usually consist of the Board Chairman, the Secretary, NDA Registrar, Representatives of the 3 Services, Defence Headquarters, Psychologists, Professors. When you open the door and enter into the Interview room, on seeing the caliber of personnel, the fear of the Lord will definitely come upon you. You have to be bold and confident in all your speech and answers…..courage is not the absence of fear, it is the ability to overcome it.
On entrance, you will be asked to tell them about yourself, your childhood, your school, your choice of service/course. Then you will be asked questions relating to your chosen course and general current affairs questions. Some Engineering/Science students were asked to solve Mathematics on the Board.


Well, I’ve written too much already…..pens up!!! But before then, here are some very interesting people you will encounter during the interview:

- CAPT ABDUL: The charismatic and gallant candidates administrative officer. This Captain is an embodiment of a typical military officer. When Capt Abdul is coming, even the ants halt and sit-up for the arrival of a mentor. He will drill you and at the same time, give you tips on how to survive when you enter the Academy.

- CAPT GREMA: Mehn, you can’t afford to miss a slap from this humorous Captain. He’s a personnel at the Medical Centre at the permanent site. He will make you laugh, make you meditate and of course, make you rub your head to cool down the impact of his slap on your head.

- LT. COL. JIMOH: A very serious senior officer, who happens to the Board Secretary. Here’s is an officer who has seen many things in his life as an army officer. When in good mood, he will tell you the pure truth about life in the military; but when you provoke him, one hot slap on your head will restore your brain to its default setting.

-L/CPL LEKAN: A very funny and young Military police personnel. He will control you even against your wish, chastising you with one hand, and then petting you with another.

-CPL SANI: The ghost-rider, another MP personnel who doesn’t mind riding his ‘power bike’ into your bed to make you do the right thing. However, if you anything, don’t hesitate to ask him, he will answer according to his riches…..stuffs like keypoints, scratch card, eraser etc…..they aint free though.

-MESS SERGEANT: Oh my mama……….I’m missing this soldier. He is a Staff Sergeant in charge of the cadets mess, he will definitely not fail to put you to your heels out of the mess just in case you think you are in your father’s house. Everytime at the mess is a euphoric moment as he has enough gas to control the impish behaviour in any candidate. Words like: werey, oh……Academy don spoil, dan ubanka shege, u tink say hia na ur papa house etc are among his lexicons when you spend more than 10 seconds to just a plate of hot rice or amala with soup.


CONCLUSION
Being part of the AFSB is not just about being selected, it is the many experiences you will gather from interacting with different people, from people places with different manners and characters. You will become friends with some, beef some, endure some, tolerate some, and even have crush on some…Lol. Just spending two weeks in the AFSB will broaden your perspective and attitude. Even if you are so dull as not to learn any life lessons, you will definitely learn how to make up early, sit on the same spot for hours and of course, how to eat hot food fast. haha
If at the end of the day, I do not make the list, I have no regret, I will forever remain a member of 68th Regular Course in spirit. The AFSB seems like some sort of Citizenship and Leadership Training to me; and this I wish every aspirant, if possible, to be part of the AFSB atleast.

To all members of 68 RC who would make the final list, I hope to see you by August; but if I don’t make it, I will definitely be present at your passing out parade. To those who were evicted during the screening and those who will be evicted during second batch, go and take down 69 RC…….is that clear??

I remain Your brother in Arms.

Nice write up bro

Dammysmart:
yes I understand you moreover I'm just 20 this year, I'll b 21 next year hopefully. but my fear is that I saw d advert of 2006 regular course and they put it there as 2006-2010...so I'm a bit confused...I am.using my 2012 result. pls I direct this question to all,

I see men are gaining gas... It's olryt
Bro, u r gud to go with 2012 result next year Bt U said U'd be 21 next year, u will need to do a calculation urself... Calculate ow old(years ND month e.g 20yrs 4months) u'd be by August. If by August next year u'd be 21years ND even at least one months, u r wanting... So in such case I'd advice U to play ur game wella

Pls fellow in the house, what does Regus mean?


And again i'll love to apply for NDA after my Bsc cos am already in my Finals. After my service will already clock 23. Someone told me by that age I can't apply again, pls how true is that? Cos I really have the intention joining the army.

Thanks, pls waiting for a reply

Bro, Regus is an abbreviat for Regular,

You can still go to Nda with ur BSc Bt not as a Regular, U can join d Short service which will be a 9monrhs course ND U'd be commissioned at the end of the programme as a 2nd lieutenant... Visit the website @ www.nda.edu.ng for more info abt the short service and when the form will be out

@Phoebia, 08136635829

Looks like it wasn't registered on watsapp sir

Panzerfaust:
But WAEC GCE too has original certificates.

Then U should come with the Original coz NDA prefers original certificates coz of the age that is always included in the certificate

Panzerfaust:
Which one na whatsapp group again? This forum has more than enough people with experience at the AFSB screening. A whatsapp group for AFSB candidates will just be a representation of the proverbial "blind leading the blind" quote. If you have any info for us, put it here.
Btw, does anyone know if we have to bring both Secondary school and primary school testimonials? Also, for those using WAEC GCE like me, is it necessary to bring along the Secondary School Cert.?

Not everyone gets a lot of time to come here sir, even sometimes I buy only social MB ND I dnt get to com here, if nt interested it's nt compulsory,

U Com with ur primary/Junior ND senior cert ND testimonials though they will/might not ask for ur Junior cert ND testimonials but Waec Original Certificate is important ND I dnt really knw abt Gce

Success isn't final and failure isn't fatal. What matters most is the will to go on.... to some of you who weren't shortlisted, don't fret or worry, the plan of the Almighty is always the best.

For some of us selected, our dream journey to our Father Academy is still closer to zero than infinity.... most of us will still not make it this year.
Let's hope for the best but plan for the worst.
