adouble u: @Kciano, i am a Christian, hence I don't swear by anything or anyone according to God's commandment, so u'll have to take my word for it. From the inception of this thread,I have read a lot of comments of people on this thread about how impossible it is to get into the NAF or any Government owned institution(for that matter) without knowing an "Oga @ d top" or without having a God father. I chose not to respond to any of these after the final list came out becos I noticed a lot of other people had shared their testimonies and some who hadn't personally benefited from such, knew others who had and affirmed that selection purely based on merit and the favour of God is possible as they knew people who had gotten theirs that way. Hence, I thot, if this people still don't believe that selection by merit is possible after all these, wat wld make them believe anything I have to say? But I realised that, if I kept quiet, I would have stopped someone's blessing from being theirs. I remembered that I promised God that if he'll just Give me this Job, I would use that office to testify to His supremacy and let people know that those who put their trust in "God alone" will NEVER fai. Man might fail, but God never does!
I have also come to realise that God knows the best for every1 of us and he knows the best Job for us. in other words NAF might not be God's call for u if after lots of trials, u don't get it. Except u are convinced it is. Now to my main testimony...
I didn't intend taking the NAF form majorly because I had taken th Naval form a month before and I felt I would make it into the Navy and because I liked the Navy better, so I thot, 'y waste the money for the form?'. But as fate would have it, a friend of mine who I was encouraging to get the NAF form said he won't except we both got it together, so I did. But prior to getting both forms, I had long decided since I finished my youth services that I was NEVER going ask for the help of man in getting a job because my parents had tried to do that on my behalf and yet it yielded nothing. I perceived in my spirit that God wanted me to leave it to him, so I blocked every route of help from man. And I mean every one! Both private and Public organisations... For 2 years my parents, especially my dad and some of my extended family were very disturbed because I couldn't seem to get a job and yet I didn't want help. The 2 private jobs I got, I turned down, because I decided I wanted to privately practice(my field being, architecture) and those jobs wouldn't afford me the time.
I got the form and I was shortlisted to write the test. By this time I wasn't really concerned about NAF cos I thought the Navy was better as I said earlier and that I was going to make it into the Navy. Especially as I had already written the Test for navy. But something kept telling me the Airforce might be God's calling for me so I began to pray for God's will to be done. During all these, it wasn't as if I had no one I could call in favours from because I have a client who retired from the airforce and he had promised to help if I ever thot of joining the Airforce, this was like a year back. I wrote the NAF test without even letting him know I got the form. When I got a notification that I made the interview, I was dumbfounded cos I knew I made some silly mistakes in the exam. I was humbled and I praised God, cos without asking any1 for help, I made that list. I remembered telling d lady I put up with when I went for the test in Kaduna that I don't know any1 and I didn't give my name or number to anybody. She said* be serious joo, who's helping u?* I replied, *no one!* and she looked at me incredulously. By this time, I had a feeling I would make the final list and I kept telling God * pls don't bring me this far to drop me*. Out of all my friends that wrote the exam(seven of us), I was the only one who made the interview stage. And then again, God did it on the final list, without knowing any Oga!
In closing, I want to say, ' if u say u trust God, trust Him completely, don't try to cut corners or play smarter than Him by asking for the help of man and asking for His at the same time' . God is a Jealous God ( Exodus 20:5), He'll never share His Glory with any man. Pls trust God completely for yours cos he'll do it. Remember that, if every1 of us that applied for that job (About half a million of us) had Ogas at the top and there were just space for about 350 of us, not every1 can definitely get it, only the Oga of all Oga's can matter and that is God! Those who have worldy Ogas would have to bow...

please how was the interview and what form did it take

nicago: I want to encourage my peeps here not to give up. The first time I applied for DSSC Army was in 2007 and I've applied to the three services almost every year since then. God crowned my efforts with success in 2013. My first interview invite came in 2011 for the Navy but I missed it as I didn't get the information on time and was not around as at then.
2009, 2010, 2012 I didn't get any but 2013 I got both Army and NAF.
God will see us through the training as well.
Never give up on your dreams, it's the worst thing you can do to yourself. Need I say that I also attempted the NDA Regular Course over 4 years and the best I got then was to be on Reserve list for 53RC who are going to be decorated as Majors this year.
Everyone has his/her time. Try not to miss yours. One can only claim to be lucky when PREPARATION meets OPPORTUNITY.
Trust in God and He will see you through if it is HIS will for you.
Nairaland has been a source encouragement for me.
I thank Mr Seun Osewa and all the mods on this site. Special thanks to those who gave us information.
Emmanuel4fire, Gambudu, I see you..
God bless us all.
