also going by dis statement now an ssc45 2nd Lt is senior to his rc 2nd Lt for the main time when dey pass out October dis year?

ojexin:

No sir. U know 2Lt is not a rank.. Is just an appointment as they call it.
That's why RC spend only 6 months with it, and SSC spends 2 years 6 months with it.
After that u Will be going in order

enesi009:
also going by dis statement now an ssc45 2nd Lt is senior to his rc 2nd Lt for the main time when dey pass out October dis year?

No. RC in d next 6 months he will hang his Lt, while SSC will wait for 2 years to hang his own

sojeee:

No. RC in d next 6 months he will hang his Lt, while SSC will wait for 2 years to hang his own

For Dssc no, atleast for now because for about 3yrs running now it's just documentation they do.

Beautiful weekend to everyone, i want to ask a quick 1, can officers keep beards or u av to meet a certain criteria first i saw dis nd i was curious

Naval officers(Sea farerers) are allowed to keep beards because of the cold on the high sea.
For other services they could only keep beards but with permission either on medical grounds or when in a covert mission/battle fronts.

For those of you applying SSC... Hope you know what it means... Your job is to fight war and the war in Nigeria is real... In the North East every month nothing less than 50 soldiers are being killed every month... So if you are applying SSC and you know what it means (Short Service Combatants) and you're determined to die for your country in war then you're good to go... But if you're applying for the sake of the uniform and looking rugged in the eyes of civilians then my advice is forget about it.....
SSC screening and training is difficult no doubt.... Just from screening alone you're gonna start having a second thought...
As for DSSC it's more of professional work or administrative work.... That doesn't mean you can't fight war ooo, but it is not likely...
I wish y'ol the best of luck, I applied for DSSC this year unlike SSC I applied for last year... Before you join anything know what you're getting into... I wish I could secure a good job of 100k+ or even one of the paramilitary like Customs, Civil Defense or Immigration... Which safer for you and me...
Disclaimer: I'm not discouraging anybody, am just telling you guys the truth, they will also tell you thesame when you've made the list for the screening....

So as a DSSC in Nigeria, they retire you after 15 years.?

Officer na officer dss/ssc they all go to war, infact all the dss commissioned officers I know had at some point been to the north east for some years or more, while some ssc are still here in their various units

That's if you don't convert. For SSC it's 10yrs, before it was 10yrs for DSSC and 5years for SSC.

As a soldier ur primary duty is to go to war if any, so condition your mind properly.

Abiodunasala made it to SSC course 45 training.

MrSuama:


Abiodunasala made it to SSC course 45 training.

Good afternoon bro,
I've been following your comments of late and I must commend your efforts, may God make this your time to be commissioned into NA.
Please, I made a mistake in my application, I applied for DSSC instead of SSC, of course I don't really know the difference up till now but something kept telling me that DSSC is for professionals in their field and SSC is for regular graduate, can you please put me through and also to know if my application could still be considered because I'm just a graduate without any professional certificate.
Thanks
