Very true Sir, ARMY IS ARMY.
As regards your 2nd and 3rd line, what do u take of this? Mechanical Engineering was advertised under Engineers and not under EME, of which mech Engr is the CORE embodiment of EME and to the best of my knowledge NAE don't necessarily needs Mechanical Engineers
Apply under SSC and you will be sure to get EME,if they insist on professional body you will be dropped but i doubt if they will insist but again what if there are other applicants with professional papers,that will relegate you........just do your things with believe and faith

Egbon Sheriff232 and juicy oga mangojuice, what do you guys take of this Professional body registration thing (especially for bodies outside the medical field) that NA is doing in this recruitment? I have met lot DSSC 22 n 23 guys who only registered after they joined the job.
Though for some corps it wasn't explicitly advertised that you must be a registered member of this bodies but during registration one now come across a compulsory place that you are to fill about the professional body membership. Unlike that of navy that it was explicitly stated that it WOULD ONLY BE ADDED ADVANTAGE
if your course has a known professional body please register if not forget about it, ,for instance do they have psychology association,education association etc,personally i think that's for medical,finance eg ICAN,ANAN,engineer et COREN and legal etc,good luck,once you get in you will see allot of courses and get professional because your promotion depends on it unlike us......Aikii soja kawaiii

All this talk about DSSC, SSC or RC, the bottom line is this "Army is Army" and Nigerian Army is Nigerian Army.

So whether it is DSSC, SSC or RC, join the Army, be an officer.
You are coming up,weldone.........don't mind all these boy's looking for camo to wear but cannot suffer,weldon,i wish i know you in person so i can encourage you

what I have come to understand in NA is that you can achieve anything regards a appointment except few positions restricted for combatant (like GOC, COAS, CDS) if you have the right connections and the wit to also play the inside politics, you are good to go.
I personally know of DSSC that converted to DRC who held positions as Commanding officers, Commanders of Corps (Division wise) and also Corp Commanders. if you check the NA seniority role you would see DSSC now DRC as Major Generals and Brig. Gen while a whole lot as Colonels. if you can attain the rank of a Colonel your military career is Very very successful and you can go to your village a happy man. We are even aware of an SSC become a COAS sef
Let's keep our fingers crossed and be hopeful, the fact is once enlisted,not all of us we brandish the One or two star on our vehicles or even be a redneck, the privilege to even wear the khaki alone and be awake for others to sleep peacefully would be enough satisfaction and achievement for some of us. Even when I have age on my side to even apply for SSC 46, I personally don't want to apply for SSC even though I know the long run benefits of SSC, because I am a guy that likes to get dirty as an engineer, likes to wear my overall 247 and resolve critical problems around operation systems of equipments and SSC may most likely deprive me of that if I unfortunately gets posted to a core combat corps. Because I feel this SSC 45 is to fill and meet up with the current security challenges plaguing the country in the NE. I would like to go to the NE but as a support ARM.
Oboy,don't assume,there's no difference in role,mind you engineer is combat support unless you are electrical or mechanical which is combat service support,wether you are dssc or ssc or regular,you are going there..............your opening paragraph is good to go,my advice to is.....army is army........get yourself ready or settle for a civilian job

DSSC date of POP differs from RC/SSC guys I think they commision the DSSC guys earlier(around July).
It must not be July,some pass out December,may etc,just count 6 month's from date of training,while ssc count 9,10 or even 11 months from training,they must not pass out with regular but i think since 2015 it has been the norm to avoid the president going to NDA two times in a year.

POP for dssc doesn't need President attendance ,most times the Chief of army staff or minister will go but SSC and RC requires that they fill pass the president or vice president during pop,

I don't think is going to be like that this time around cos if we are to pass out with RC next year then the recruitment will be faster than that of course 44
There no definite arrangement and you cannot predict the army,just be ready so you are not taken unawares when shortlisted,you can be asked to resume training anytime,you can be given a month interval or even a day or two,it can still be possible you resume mid year 2019,dssc pass out by December while sec pass out by March 2020,army can achieve anything if they want

Honestly! Brotherly I personally appreciate your efforts on giving us necessary assistance here . I love your quick response to questions. May Almighty God reward you. Aameen.

Please I will appreciate your response on this following; A close pal of mine was told he has flat foot during the screening FRSC Job he applied for, of which he was shocked because he never discovered that since he has been pursuing military career. He has applied for this SSC course 45, He is good to go on every other aspects but just the flat foot he is concerned about. please from your experience what's your say on the flat foot as per the SSC screening. huh? Thanks in anticipation
Flat foot is a physiological abnormality which can endenger someone life during rigorous exercises especially obstacles crossing,if detected during screening its automatic disqualification but if he can manouvre his way then he is lucky and that means he has to be careful during jumping exercises,goodluck

according to u sir u prefer us to go for ssc if we have age on our side Dan dssc but dey are passing out wit lieutenant and we 2nd lieutenant and we wait for 5yrs to reach lieutenant so hw dat an advantage
There are some things you will not understand until you join,but to answer your question,the full lieutenant given to DSSC is because they are professionals and to make up for their pay especially doctors so it can be commensurate with their civilian counter part,they are commissioned with no advantage of seniority whereas SSC has 3 years seniority on the rank,finally,promotion from 2lt to Lt is not 5 years,when you join you will know

Wow. Thanks kiss
Please what are the criteria for being posted to a particular Corp?
I also learnt that we would be given forms to fill regarding the Corps we want.
You will be giving choice of Corp forms a week to POP but that doesn't determine,that do it by themselves,most of the people that read financial courses went to finance,people that read micro biology,plant science,bio tech,bio chemistry,and other biological sciences were shared between supply and transport and ordance,while cyber security,international relationships,psychology etc were sent to intelligence,mass communication into public relations and engineers into engineer Corp and electrical And mech Corp,some were even sent to physical training,just manage and make the list

Good job you're doing here sir. God bless kiss

Please I need ur experience and advise.
I have a knack for being in a Spy ring, Intelligence circle, Secret service, etc
I couldn't apply for Intelligence Corps under DSSC because my course was not listed.
And since age is still on my side, I applied for SSC.

what are my chances of being posted to the Intelligence Corps, Defense Intelligence Agency, or Public Relation ?
Your chances of going to Intelligence Corp is 100%,you will enjoy it more as a combatant,almost half of us was sent to non combat arm,so pray to be shortlisted,those of you that read finance related courses instead of struggling position with education,legal and medical candidates ,its better you apply through SSC and suffer once,

My only problem is I was diagnosed with Hepatits b. But it was a shock to me as I never felt any sign associated with hepatitis,I never knew,I taught it was a fabrication the navy did to disqualify me but when I came back I tested positive. I went for LFT,they said it has not affected any part of my body or internal system and it will go on its own. For over a year now it has not left. My question is: WHY DO THE MILITARY DISQUALIFY ONE COZ OF HEPATITIS? IS THERE A WAY OUT FOR ME OR I SHOULD JUST GIVE UP? this is the only obstacle I have. I got 2.1,24years old,1.75m,58kg,every requirement I have! Please your responses!
They did you a favour by asking you to go,Hepatis B is deadly,you can easily infect fellow cadets,you can die of complications,since it has not affected your vital as shown on your liver function test i suggest you pray and take your medications,if it show's during selection board then take it as the will of God.Hepatitis B and HIV are vital during the selection board,good luck

if your first degree is third class don't bother applying,even if you scale through you will be withdrawn 2 or 3 days to POP and don't ever make the mistake of upgrading or forging any certificate,some of our course mates that forged certificate are still in guard room

His superiors. Commanding officer. If I can remember well
Promotion for combatants is not based on that alone,SSC officers have alot of hurdles to cross,apart from convertion,you have to write Lt to Captain exam,Captain to Maj and senior staff course alongside regular officers,which DSSC doesn't write.Let me advice all of you,if you know you are not sound intellectually better look for another thing to do,to avoid spending your youthful age in something that may not last,this is because not everybody will convert to Regular and there's i rank limit if you can't convert,kindly check your selves very well

GeneralFeezy:
I spoke with an SSC officer who is now a Major and he explained in details how promotion is done. After the exams (some don't even pass mind you), there will be a board that will discuss each candidate. If they fit his character has been satisfactory and he deserves promotion, they will promote him. But if not, let him score 10000/100 they won't promote him
Yes,he is correct but its not restricted ,there's a promotion board for every rank and irrespective of type of commission,there are so many things involved,if you don't pass your exams you will not even be considered,for him to be a Major it means he has successfully passed all the hurdles,good luck to you all

I totally disagree with you as per SSC . Apart from passing the exam, you have to be recommended for promotion or else stagnancy.
recommendations from who,?there are things you will never understand until you join.

Sheff man I guess u are SSC 44 seriously I know is not about muscle but do u want me to sit and watch another person take my place in screening abeg when I become a cadet I will start enduring. Pls can ur take us through from ur credentials screening till last day to get a glimpse of what to expect. Have heard from others ooo but Der is alwayz 2 sides to a coin pls if u can
If you are meant to be,no one will take your space,in terms of credential screening just ensure you have document as required,tally your age with your documents,if you can get letter of attestation from your former institution it will speak volume and finally pray that the selection process favors you.

Gentlelord:
cool
from the little I know, DSSC are also deployed in warfronts especially those of us going for the Engineers Corps, there are field engineers and also infantry support engineers, even those in Intelligence, EME,Signals corps, they are also deployed there. whatever the case maybe everyone is FIRST trained as a SOLDIER, and the fact that you're are DSSC doesn't stop you from going for Infantry courses lol and be well groomed about core battle strategies
Very good,,IF You are within the age bracket go for ssc because there's no difference in role now,many dssc offrs are in front line now,as dssc you don't write exams hence your promotion depends on your immediate superior and commading officers whereas ssc promotion largely depends on your ability to pass your exams,weather they like you or not you will be promoted but dssc once you are charged and your PER spoilt just forget it.

DSSC
Per state they take 15 people to aquire training in jaji after final selection by NASB

How true and authentic is that figure. Boss sheriff232
i don't know their plan this time around but i doubt that figure,DSSC will shortlist 15 initially and take 5 while SSC short lists 30 and pick 8 and a times 12,depending on what happened during selection board,some states might messup and they will use another state from same geopol zone to complete them,pray that the calculation favors you

Young man, the army Job is not by muscle rather endurance and patience especially for those of you that applied for SSC,am not saying you should not train but reserve your energy for a very rigorous training ever,am not trying to scare you but all my course mate's that came to NDA with muscle dashed�,some lost their lives,.Your priority now should be how to make the list.

I will be around to help clear any doubt you might have, i forgot my password for my initial nairaland account,had to open a new one all thanks to the training,i bet you will not be able to remember your ATM pin and other vital password so i just you buy a jotter and write it down
