Anybody that gets that signal for SSC, please share with us. It’ll be greatly appreciated

shamack:
Candidates for SSC their cut off is different from DSSC.

DSSC has more competition

oh okay bro..

shamack:
What's the update......

Candidates no shaking, BMI will not be your problem but watch it, surplus will be called for medical so they can weed u.

DSSC candidates please don't study for exams with SSC candidates (the competition is different).

Guys don't stress yourself on 3.5km once u dey do light sports before, on the deal day if u make it to that level, the fun n morale in the activity will make u pass it with ease (don't take drugs)

Candidates don't have it in mind that you are competing with the northerners, na ur state ppl be your competition ooooo.

Candidates your level of confidence really matters, don't panic, be friendly, take things with ease.......
If u smoke, stop now because of ECG, blood and urine samples...start practicing how to stay under the sun...You can't be spending 16hrs under the AC and come to the Sun in kaduna without been weed out with hbp

please explain the 2nd line bro.. about the exams

Judah95:
As long as they they issue Bachelor degrees, school na school

when you reach screening this year, you go see say school no be school

ugo4u:
school no be school oo! Your school must be recognised by NUC if not they'll send you packing even in training. As for NOUN since it's recognised by NUC it is very much acceptable.

thanks bro

Policy de improved and favouring short service officers gradually

i understand this ooo but think about the year he commissioned.. think about the harmonized terms and conditions of that time try to get it.. compare it with the one now.. that time, there was no even 5 years promotion ooo lol..before somebody will get it.. you know the kind of politics, laboring, work, certificates he’d have gotten! I’m even happy that a Dssc officer is GOC..he’d treat the Dssc candidates well at their screening cos na him people.

Does the military accept graduates from noun?

Richieurch:
What about the exam, out of the 30k plus only 1465 are expected for screening?

i was still telling somebody here last week on WhatsApp.. he can come and quote me.. I told him forget low registrations.. many many many people won’t still make the shortlist.. as I said a couple of days ago.. start calling your godfathers.. e get why!!!!

LegendPV:
According to the signal document
A total of 1465 candidates are expected to attend

They've even constitute the selection board and Local organising committee

i go appreciate if I fit see this document bro

Modified.. I already saw it just now.. anybody got the link to the signal for SSC? Nah SSC be my problem like this

damibjs:
RC will be full lieutenant after 6months...#sure
SSC will be full lieutenant after 4/5 yrs.... As far i kno.

lol first promotion is 2 years baba

Prospect048:
please read within the lines, I said those RCs that pass out with course45 of ssc

oh! My bad

It’s simple.. RC gets promoted to full lieutenant after 6 month while Ssc waits for 2 years.. the remaining promotion after that is 5/6 years for both commissions depending on the particular rank and conversion..either we are mates with terms 2 or 3 is what I’m not sure about but you guys seem to know this well..

But if no be say na nonsense, why we go be mates with 2nd termers!!

Prospect048:
RC becomes full Lt 6months after their pop... Those that finished with ssc45 got their 2nd star early this year... Gentlemen, ssc are mates with their prep wingers which are (2nd termas) with 3months seniority, while 3rd termas are their senior with 6months.

lol 45 never get promotion ooo.. till November next year before they hang full lieutenant

autamahmud:
You are ahead of him if you make it in this current course

Lmao!! This isn’t so funny...no sir.. if Ben made it into course 45, they’d have been mates.. but this course 47, we won’t see his back

DadyTrillion:

Respect wey we no give our AO na him adebayo collect..after serving small of his job, candidates started dropping chest number and running away.

Your seniors talk pass like this

Kaeboy:
nawa o. Abeg them no dey fear say if this people become officer them fit chop there fada later?

they don’t fear anything.. they don’t fear that’ll you’ll be an officer in 9 months, they aren’t scared of anything!! They are REGULARS.. they’ve been conditioned to know that their commission is above every other godamn commission in the military.. you be SSC.. hit your rank after 9 months.. they know it’s their modas that own the military.

Arisukuni:
During 46 last year at Afaka, there is this tap water close to the medical entrance, I wanted to perform an ablution then there was this boy that do not pass 15 year old was putting on blue and white as a colito cus they just spent about three month then. The boy walked to me at that tap and said it with command "You, hold this thing for me!" I raised my head up to see his face E shock me! I look around other candidates where around gisting, I saw one guy through the window the guy is a therma 5, I collect the paper from him and he washed his hand finished from the tap and collected back his paper he gave me. When he was going I was just looking at him cuz I didn't even know what to say or do . And my fear was that if I do anything at that moments and the other thermal 5 guy mark my face and come job me for training wetin I go do . As in I just lock up, , con dey imagine am later say ordinary colito 15 year old chawuz me .

Lmao I remember those boys.. wey sidown for MRS reception.. as we wear white and blue na so dem sef wear white and blue lol.. but their own white and blue get 1 star lmao!! Another one, I go buy egg roll for reception na him our eyes jam each other.. he say “do you have eyes to see me, are you an idiot?” I just collect my egg roll Dey waka go back cos if I chauz him moda for there, those terma 5 wey sidown for reception with am go get me.. and I wasn’t announcing myself at the screening so I swallow am.

@Dannyhonda where you Dey nah!! Come give us gist about how una suffer for academy! A couple of days more and you’ll be an officer!! I salute you bro.

Arisukuni:
I remember back then I was directed to sign my form at a Barracks, when I met the senior man, instead of him to sign my form in peace he saw something on my form I told him is the right thing politely, oga didn't believe me o, I carry google show baba he still no believe o, e reach one stage Oga Sir tell me that You are Mad! na hin my eyes just red now now . Oga sir finally called someone in my presence and the person told him same thing I have been telling oga sir o, then he eventually signed the form after he has don his wish and cleared his doubt. For my mind I was expecting him to apologize for telling me am mad in the first place, my eyes still red for there na later I realize say military dey sabi frustrate person with ordinary words from their mouth not to talk of touching you. You see this job ehn, if you are not ready you are not ready be that oo, just sit for your house and be earning your respect from your younger siblings at home, cuz the moment you enter Aca those cadets of your younger siblings age will frustrate you, issue threat, job you, work on you , you will feel like dying but you will not die, is that clear?

im anticipating those nights that they will come and massage us at 2am till 4am and from there, we report for breakfast without sleep lol.. or the nights you’ll report to lines for sleep at 2am and they blow fire alarm by 2:30 till 4am no sleep.. na to just enter lines, change uniform Dey jog go mess for breakfast lol

Any excess job other than blanket job that you buy for me because you can’t take threats, anything your eyes see in the lines, let your body take it.

Only if you guys know how many times those cadets have called my mother bastard and I’ve said yes sir.. you people aren’t ready..

Bringing this back!!

There are 5 types of commission in the Nigerian Army (NA) – Not Armed Forces. They are:

Regular Combatant (RC). Training takes 5 years.
Short Service Combatant (SSC). Training takes 6 – 9 months.
Direct Regular Combatant (DRC). Now attained on conversion from DSSC.
Direct Short Service Combatant (DSSC). Training takes 6 – 9 months.
Executive Commission (EC). Training takes 2 – 3 months.
Details of such commissions are to be found in the Harmonized Terms and Conditions of Service (TACOS) for officers of the Nigerian Armed Forces but a summary goes thus: RC and SSC are combatants, trained to fight battles. Others are not meant to be combatants.

Both SSC and DSSC are of relatively short duration of 15 years and must convert to RC and DRC respectively to enjoy a longer career. Theoretically, RCs and DRCs can rise to become generals i.e Brigadier Generals, Major Generals etc. Remember the pyramid structure? The higher it gets, the smaller it becomes. In other words, many are called but only a few are chosen.

DRC’s are mainly professionals – surgeons, pharmacists, chaplains, surveyors etc. and are usually not found in the core combat arms of Infantry, Armour and Artillery but are to be found in the Army Engineers and Signals. EC’s are made up of former soldiers and do not usually exceed the rank of Major.

There are varying criteria for the various commissions. In reality, the advantage is more on the side of those who were originally RC,s than those who were originally SSC,s in terms of age, rank in the Nigerian army, numbers etc. However, anything can happen, for instance Lt. Gen. Ishaya Bamaiyi (rtd.) rose to become Chief of Army Staff (COAS), even though he wasn’t originally an RC. Although DRCs may never become COASs or General Officers Commanding (GOCs), they can apart from being Staff Officers also hold command posts in corps or services in which they predominate. These include Education, Medical and Finance among others.

Life in the Army here in Nigeria can be promising, particularly now that efforts have been made to consolidate emoluments, but achievement of success or wealth in the Army (here in Nigeria as well as is in other countries) is a product of motivation and determination. If you want to live well, you will. If you don’t, you won’t. The choice is really yours! For RC or DRC, minimum years of service is about 15 years and life as a cadet can be quite strenuous.

Generally, training is in the Infantry Corps Centre and School (ICCS), Jaji, Kaduna State. As for the DSSs and ECs, their training is usually less strenuous, not as in NDA where RCs and SSCs are trained. Cadets are usually humorously welcomed with the euphemism, “Unfortunate Nigerians, you will nearly die but you will not die!” But you should survive if you are physically fit after all, many have gone before you.

As a cadet, you are entitled to allowances which may not really cater for your family if you have one but could go a long way to help you sustain yourself.

You say army Dey collect BMI of 29.9 abi... cos mhen I got fat

ugo4u:
Your weight ÷ by the square of your height

E.g weight 55kg,. HEIGHT 1.7m

BMI = 55÷ (1.7)²
55÷2.89
19
