sikowitz17:
its normal...
All I know is there are still people in course 44 and 45 who hasn’t/didn’t die in NE... that’s motivation enough...
people dey retire.. but last last it’ll be to marry and give birth early Cos if death comes, we must leave proof that we were here.. some of my guys wey no marry before dem die ehn! I felt for them

Can you blame them?
Gals plenty but wife scarce.

The army might not have given them chance to find a wife self.. From training straight to borno

Blueelf:


hmmmm

But what if the age on affidavit doesn't tally with age on certificates (primary, secondary, Uni) etc?

will it tally with bvn printout?

sikowitz17:

I dont understand Sir?

Blueelf:


I dont understand Sir?

if your bvn printout has your desired age, you can tell them that your guardians had the wrong details and you bvn age is right... the board secretary asked all of them to go swear avidavit and nobody was really dropped for it except some that had too many issues... but if you aren’t sure about it just apply Dssc bro

Just to add in what you've said, of the date of birth on your bvn does not tally with the one you want, you can always change it.
Go to the bank you opened your account (for multiple account holders) get an affidavit with the new age you want and also an ID card (voter card, driver license, international passport, national ID card) carrying the date of birth u want and they'll give you a form to fill.
I know someone that did the same thing last year.
But note, international passport and national ID usually carry the same DOB so you're left with driver license if you don't have or you can get a new one. Preferably, get driving school certificate and hustle for a new one. It'll cost u around 16-20k max and it should be ready within 2-3 months.
Just get everything ready the earlier the better.

Please Ugo4u, any info if Airforce and Navy dssc enlistment would be available this year?

ELJC:

Hopefully Airforce will enlist this year, last year they only conducted enlistment for medical professionals. Navy have being consistent.
Give or take by Oct/Nov form is supposed to be out if they decide to enlist.

This is really terrible from you, you can make a point without insults. The fact you bringing his past shows if u help someone and the person Bleep's up, u can bring it to his/her face. Kindly work on your words, we learning here but shoving why he didn't make it is terrible. We are all aspiring to be picked, fix up please.

One thing I learnt thank God not the hard way is not to joke with barrack boys, they cusses dey carry fire that can dismantle any psychology. When I f up most times I normally attribute it to coffee, that it is 5 sachets of coffee that i licked messed up my mind. We should always talk and correct with brotherly decorum here cos en go bad say una go develop malice here carry am go north east like that soldier that was shot in the waist or the stupid one that said he hates youruba, this is how en dey start.
Barrack boys dey control una selves before I go slap person
Heee! Who slap me for back

Hey Guys, Good Morning... HAPPY SUNDAY to us All

Abeg Nah 1 matter fly enter my head this Morning And I go Like make SENIOR MEN FOR THIS THREAD help put Mouth and Contribute...

INTELLIGENCE, SURVEILLANCE AND RECONNAISSANCE (ISR) AT THE FRONTLINE WITH THE USE OF ANIMALS

With Reference to the UAV/Drone matter wey we discuss the other day, me I bn dey think sey WHAT OF SWITCHING TO THE USE OF HOMING PIGEONS for Photographic Espionage of the BOKO-ISWAP Territories, Plans and Activities.....

ACCORDING TO HISTORY::

Homing pigeons were widely used by both American and British forces during World War II. In fact, the U.S. Army had an entire Pigeon Breeding and Training Center at Fort Monmouth, N.J., where the pigeons were trained to carry small capsules containing messages, maps, photographs and cameras. Military historians claim that more than 90 percent of all pigeon-carried messages sent by the U.S. Army during the war were received.

The birds even participated in the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944 because troops operated under radio silence. The pigeons sent information about German positions on Normandy beaches and reported back on the success of the mission.

USE OF UNSUSPICIOUS ANIMALS FOR LANDMINE DETECTION: AFRICAN GIANT POUCHED RATS AS A RELIABLE CANDIDATE

(1) Trained dogs, while commonly used, are EXPENSIVE AND TOUGH TO TRANSPORT. These critters are LIGHT ENOUGH TO WALK OVER THE MINES WITHOUT SETTING THEM OFF, AND USE THEIR NOSES TO FIND THE EXPLOSIVES QUICKLY. They've Also Got an EXTRAORDINARY SENSE OF SMELL

(2) Finding these hidden explosives is challenging and dangerous: PEOPLE WITH METAL DETECTORS NOT ONLY RISK THEIR LIVES, THEY WORK SLOWLY, STOPPING TO INVESTIGATE EVERY SUSPICIOUS PING. 

One African Giant Pouched Rat can search over 2000 square feet (200 square meters) in 20 minutes, an area that could take a human up to four days... Making reference to A 2018 LANDMINE MONITOR REPORT, THESE FURRY SUPER-SNIFFERS HAVE HELPED CLEAR 13,200 MINES FROM MINEFIELDS IN TANZANIA, MOZAMBIQUE, ANGOLA, AND, most RECENTLY , in CAMBODIA.

Bro the use of pigeons are obsolete ooo. We’d be the laughing stock of the entire free world if we begin to employ world war tactics like training birds to deliver messages when there are stealth drones and choppers to undergo covert missions in 2020.. if Nigeria wants to buy these things they’d buy it
Or best invest in trained German shepherds to sniff out ieds...the us marines still uses dogs to sniff out locally made bombs in Iraq... watch this movie “Megan leavy”

My brother, I am quite aware of the its Obsolescence, but At least There is high chance of recording success as per past Usage success.. Well, as for me sha, The method wey You use No concern ANYBODY as far as the End result is achieved since 2+7=9, 8+1=9, 3+6=9 and 4+5=9.....

Wetin me just dey reason be Sey LET'S ASSUME THE DHQ AUTHORITIES ARE NOT EVEN READY TO SPEND MEANINGFUL MONEY IN THIS COUNTERINSURGENCY WAHALA, WHAT ARE THEN THE REALISTIC CHEAP ALTERNATIVES.... SHIKENA

These are not the best of times for the army.

The both of them took a picture together and died days apart from each other!!
Course 45
Sigh!

@sikowitz17... Am so sorry for my utterances yterday....plz accept my apologies....God will grant u ur heart desires. All the best.

All of us are here for each other.. one love bro.

damibjs:
Its not abt agreeing.... Its abt learning....its abt knowing.... So many contribution u have made mention abt which i dont kno....but I make cal...seek knowledge from soldiers or officers in my barrack....despite spending 4 decades in the barracks.

Don't say tinz or counter tinz u are not sure or have knowledge about.

A decade is equivalent to 10years, so 4 decades is equivalent to 40years. If you have lived in the barracks for 4 decades, that means you are at least 40years. Interesting!

Kindly take the effort to articulate your thoughts and write in a comprehensible manner. The Army watches out for these things. Besides, you are hurting our eyes here.

Thanks.

damibjs:


U are a big fooool....I too kno dey worry u...datz the more reason u dey fail for screening........I can mention the name here...but for reasons I won't.

So smone DAT join the Army wit his ND....quickly dash down for his HND can't be commissioned with godfatherism....

I tooooo kno go also screen u out diz time around...ITK kill u dere

It is surprising how everyone is the COAS or CDS online, claiming they know who and who.

I pray your utterances on Nairaland dont put you in trouble. I remember you nearly clashing with someone in the cult thread few months back. This forum is not entirely faceless, you know?

sikowitz17:
lol thank God he didn’t... I recognize that I’ve not been successful not because I know all but because of medical errors on the academy’s part..
atleast I know I’ll get more chances and God willing, I’ll get it... we don forget the matter sha.. na make all of us win Na him we dey after..

Dont let what he said get to you. Even COAS' candidate sef dey fail for screening. When it is your time, it is your time.

sikowitz17:
lol bro adebayo is packard ooooo
Rc no too dey go NE sef.. that’s our job as SSC mostly..

Drill shed!! Chai! Memories are flooding in!

The late Arotile (of blessed memory), was just 23 when she got commissioned into the Armed Forces through RC. That is mostly the case for most RC combatants. They are usually very young, upon commissioning, and lack most soft and emotionally skills needed to lead men at the theatre.

That is why the Army prefer to send SSC guys to the NE. By the time they are through with the conventional university education, NYSC and some civilian work experience, they must have seen life from different perspectives. With the ultimate touch of life in NDA for 9months, they will emerge better fighters.

Oga calm down abeg. Fix ko fix ni. We go like know who you be. Identify yourself make we know you. As long as you are not COAS or CDS, take pin deflate your ego abeg. We no need toxicity here at all.
