Richieurch:
I doubt the authenticity of this info

thats it bro... tamando and colito.. all SSC cadets will be in Ashanti battalion lol

AirmanB:
They thought u guys were officers?

his brother is an officer

AirmanB:
Dis not a new photo sha, I saw it like 2 months ago. I no even know which 1 come be SSC n which 1 come b RCs

yeah they had a general lecture a couple of months ago... so those with yellow shoulder ranks are SSC.. and any other color are RC

So see course 46 officer cadets in this pictures.. some are hanging sargents, some are hanging lance corporals, some and hanging Pop for broken arms etc lol and most of them are taking 5..

AirmanB:
Dere was a video dat Ugo4u dropped in dis thread some weeks ago. D video was about d current 46 in their obstacle crossing training. I saw some cadets with "tripple V" on their chest.

I think d one u r talking is about is d RCs, d already have something either on their chest or shoulders dat represent d year that dey have spent in d academy. But SSC got nothing but plain colored "rank holder", representing different companies.

no bro.. some events and camps, some cadets will be expected to wear their ranks on a blue patch.. even SSC cadets will wear major, captain, lieutenant, master, Sargent, corporal and lance etc..they only wear these blue ranks during competitions, camps, etc...
but when they are in the academy normally, only appointment holders will wear cadet ranks..
the rest will wear plain rank patches with the words NDA on top And SSC under it on their chest.

AirmanB:
Jst relax, na first 4 months den u guys ain't under em shits again! U will be mates with terma 3, as some of ur coursemates will be given some Academy appointments (appointments held by term 3)

i go chop BSU or cadet Sargent.. e sure me lol

Elsueno:

Richieurch:
I swear you don buy job for a full company be that oh, like Sikowitz17 said is better u don’t go and waste slot for your village men and still buy job for ur company members

Company He will buy job for the entire course.. they will bring all of us out and water our modas
Then when we are soaked, they’ll now start beating us for the offense of one cadet..

Breaking news.. An army Colonel was just kidnapped along Abuja-Kaduna express way..please start gathering money for flight to kaduna.. don’t enter busssssssssss

Elsueno:
Bros, somebody gotta teach those kids the consequences of going too far. I will just be taking one for the team. If I put one or two academy cadets for hospital, They will keep thier shenanigans to a minimum. How can a small boy come and shower me with koboko without any reason when I am possible having one nice heavenly dream

Brouba, d only way for them to stop me is to Kill me

Lol but na you go land for hospital sha.. no cap! And after you recover, you go Dey go house

Elsueno:
I swear to God who made me, small boy like this way no graduate from the academy try this crap with me. I WILL BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIM. Such utter disrespect, I rather lose the job than face such humiliation.

Lol bro don’t go... because now the terma 4 is the prep wing commander and he will be too big to touch you.. his minions will deliver his wrath and they will be years younger than you..
You will be humiliated.. beaten.. laughed at, you’ll cry and they’ll beat you for crying.. better don’t go than waste somebody else’s chance.

OAMAXWELL1:
Please can the Attestation form plus the two referee forms be signed by the local Government?

you want 1 person or 1 office to sign 3 forms?

oscarfrosh:
To those clowns wey dey bobo us, check this reply from an Army officer.

Oga you have time...me I won’t disturb the army officers I have with questions like this..cos they expect that by now I should know who an officer is..
It is advisable to respect the senior NCOs and dem no born their papa well to not respect you back cos it’s reciprocal..
take advice from them, learn from them.. obey them if you must because they have a wealth of knowledge to share, but you see that compliment, dem no born him papa well.. he will never walk past you without paying it so don’t even assume a situation where he doesn’t...
This is the last time I will comment on this issue..
The most important thing for us now is to get in..
God will help all of us applying this year.. I cant wait to call some of you coursemate.

NewDelhi:
Many years back I've always wanted to give the army a try. My plan was to just serve a few years, resign, discharge or whatever then go back to my normal life. I just wanted to have the experience and feel the uniform. It wasn't because of unemployment or anything coz I had a great job as at then. I just wanted to serve this country and have the experience. I wanted to have a tastes of the stories told by older soldiers in mami market. . But as I saw some of their trainings a then SSC friend sent to me man I lost morale. Can't watch my fellow human toture me in the name of training. Some were even tortured to death. And me I be person wey dey quick vex mehn if any of your coporal Friday or seargent Ibrahim or cadet Adebayo or even your general Sirham whip me koboko my head fit spark o sotey I no go even know when I go slap am. Shits like that usually give me a sudden burst of rage. The guy told me of how a termal 4 cadet entered one night and started whipping grown ass men, non of them could do anything, everybody just dey scratch body dey shout. Sometimes they were asked to sit on their heads in the cold night for almost 3 hours anybody wey drop go collect beating like cultist wey mistakenly enter the territory of his rivals. Some broke their ribs, some broke bones and couldn't continue, some died .. Has it gotten to that level?

To those of una wey dey do this thing , much respect. Una try.

we will go and nothing will happen to us..

iamwarrified:
You witnessed nothing. Which system have you been?

lol thats why they call us clowns upon arrival, cos apparently we aren’t far from being clowns

Exam wey na Corper go mark.. write well na wetin he wan give you he go give you.. the essays don’t carry more than 10 marks.. current affairs and fill in the gaps, English and maths are the major ones.. plus the fill ins are current affairs and general knowledge

shamack:
I smile, I really ain't a fan of the constant complements, well personalities are different, where I work now, I use sir/ma for my cleaner n errands....I already have a government job, I applied last year based on passion and was selected, this year too won't be any different other than the fact that I would be in training next year....Not for the salary, nor the shoulder carrying ego, but the fulfilment I want for my self

Oya God go do am for you..

oscarfrosh:
For now you can't reprint, but probably after the shortlisting for screening you might be able to reprint

They might not make use of the website for anything shortlisting anymore.. might be news papers or pdf releases..

genitori:
Please, can one print after the registration closes?

Nope.. I don’t think you can anymore

eclipsehemmy:
yes o you can ..... But after a year

Guyyyyyyyyy and you wan go heaven

NihiIist:
Wait good evening guys , please I just need some clarification. Those soldiers that carry V and double V did they join as SSC or RRI?

Also what rank do you start with as SSC?

Is joining via RRI a bad choice.

Is there really a difference between SSC and NDA guys (RC)

Lastly I have an uncle who is a staff sergeant but educated. He has a degree before he joined. The man is in his late 50s now but still a staff sergeant despite his degree. What could have gone wrong?

Thanks for your responses . God bless.

1..those soldiers that carry one v and 2 are lance corporals and corporals.. they entered via the regular recruit intake(RRI)
2... when you commission as an SSC officer you are commissioned into the rank of a 2nd lieutenant (1 star)
3...there are a lot of differences between RCs and SSC officers.. read thread from beginning to understand
4...your uncle applied via RRI and not short service.. he joined as a recruit so his results won’t be tenderable anymore in service.. because any result not rendered as at the time of enlistment is useless going forward.. so if he by any chance wants to become an officer, he has to go to school again.

shamack:
Am I joining the army to be complemented?

RRI form is out.. join as a recruit

Lami1996:
Baba na lie u dey lie,I did my nysc in 3 division Nigerian army Jos and I just passed out in July. Throughout my one year,I was rolling with 2ndLts and Lts mostly cos there are very free with corpers. I have never seen a MWO pass by a 2ndLt and dare not give him a compliment and as a matter of fact I've witnessed a 2ndLt lock a staff sergent and a sergent in the WO/Sergents Mess,a WO will simply respect himself and pay the 2ndLt his compliment so that he can be respected by the 2ndLt too. Don't say what you don't know and be lying to us here. No wonder military people call civilians "clowns" lol

Honorable minister.. you know the rest

Shinfaks:
Relationship bw MWO & commissioned officers should not be a complex one please.

I don't know of the army, but I had an encounter with NMWO in the navy, they are very nice people that any officer with the required wisdom and leadership quality should peacefully work with.

He do come atimes to see us, No job, no kperuffing, just words of encouragement and fatherly advice.

Though, a times he will look at us and say:
[/b]some of you are waiting to be commissioned and come and give me orders ba! Bura uba! *laugh* you will die, am waiting for you.[b]

Note; they have direct access to there respective service chiefs.

so because they have access to service chief, officers can’t issue them commands? Oh my God!! I’m fed up of Nairaland

AirmanB:
Injuries Dats beyond their control, if it's exams malpractice, I can give d Commandant a credit for dat, but injuries?

omo nothing concern sarham ooo.. he’s steady dishing out withdrawals without remorse..the soldiers even had to start shielding cadets cos they would just be withdrawn for nothing.. Course 47 go feel am..

Fire service Man o war sef no go try am..

A number of SSC cadets were withdrawn last month.. just got off a call with one of my girls..
Even as some of them were withdrawn, arrangement were still made for some of them to be integrated into the army as NCO’s with a certain senior rank.. this isn’t even supposed to be cos the cadets withdrawn from nda as regulars didn’t get a second thought towards then..I don’t want to give specifics
But those withdrawn were caught for malpractice, some injuries, etc

Nobody likes the new commandant mhen! Nobody!!

AirmanB:
He won't collect any slap! He deserves his respect. The only problem dat he might have is a general dislike amongst subordinates, but let me shock u. U r thinking with a civilian mindset, in d military, u don't act dat way! But it's very good to respect d grey hair (MWO) no be small rank, dis men are old enough to be your father. But dat doesn't mean dat u will be slapped for demanding complements!!!! Abaaaa guy!!!

How MWO go take slap 2nd Lt? MWOs are 2 ranks below 2nd Lt ( ... MWO, AMW then 2nd Lt)

guy I was being sarcastic with my reply.. I’ve never seen it happen in command, neither in nda! Warrant officers pay newly passed out cadets their full compliments in the academy and in jaji.. me I don’t know where the slap came from but I won’t say anything

HitlerGaddafi:
The warrant in warrant officers means they can perform the duties of a a commisoned officer when they're not deployed . Infact a lieutenant wey dey find salute from a warrant officer go collect slap join. I know this because I've been in the system.

youve been in the system and you’ve seen a warrant officer slap a lieutenant? Maaaad
We learn everyday.

My own is just as much as you have hot takes about how to run the army and be the most humble officer ever! Put the same effort to getting shortlisted..
Won’t make sense if you are the one that knows how officers should be saluting nco and you bounce on exam list..

Discussions here are pure discussions as we all know that once everyone gets in, orientation will change.. Do what you must... if you will drink urine to make final list, do it. As long as you make the list.

Lol plantain boiled with urine will stop GPMG or AA-52 from tearing limbs from bones? Mad ooo
You juju fit work sha, that’s why boko haram uses anti aircraft gun/bullets..

Lol
