Blueelf:
Okay, Now all has been said and done, who is till sure about joining the NA

We can see that even fighting bandits is akin to fighting ISWAP...that's if they are not even the same organization

Me, I have made up my mind

Long live Nigerian Army

long live Nigerian army... we rode together, we die together

QuadrilAyinde:
General Sir, but the question is ARE THE BULLET RESISTANT VESTS AND HELMET OF INTERNATIONALLY CERTIFIED BALLISTIC STANDARD MATERIALS (CEN LEVEL B7/NIJ IV, CEN B6/NIJ III) and MILITARY STANDARDS STANAG 4569 Level 2/2A/2B.)

Truth be told Bro, I doubt it Coz report has it that Larger cache of the Army Bullet resistant Vest are being Manufactured and distributed by DICON, and Unfortunately, DICON no get ISO CERTIFICATION

and na wetin we go wear be that Abi.. Lmaooo

ugo4u:
Judging from the pics of the deceased soldiers, it's obvious they weren't kitted properly. Non of them is wearing a bullet proof vest or head gear. It's possible they were caught off guard or the strength of the aggressors was underestimated.
I trust the military sha, those that did this evil have brought death upon themselves, they're gonna be hunted dowm like preys.

the fact that they don’t even have standard kits on fear me... I now believe these kits are only made available for special forces...I won’t even lie I’m scared for my future now... what if my picture is posted here 5 years later as that sikowitz that was on that thread that year with my brain’s bashing out of my skull...
No retreat at all but if I’m atleast going to die for my nation, my nation should provide me with a fighting chance..

Errm guys I’m looking for one really old morale song.. I used to have it but lost it..
It goes
“Soldier work Na him I like, Na him I go do for my life
Soldier sweet, the work dey sweet Na him I go do for my like”
Kolo Dey for mami, burukutu Dey for mami, gilder Dey for mami, Tombo dey
Better life dey, better suya Dey, pepper soup Dey, ogogoro Dey”
I really love the song or if you have morale that’s not the common ones.. please ooo I need it to start jogging.. must get back to my 3.20kms in 15 minutes

Unselfishly, you left your fathers and your mothers,
You left behind your sisters and your brothers.
Leaving your beloved children and wives,
You put on hold, your dreams-your lives.
On foreign soil, you found yourself planted
To fight for those whose freedom you granted.
Without your sacrifice, their cause would be lost
But you carried onward, no matter the cost.

Many horrors you had endured and seen.
Many faces had haunted your dreams.
You cheered as your enemies littered the ground;
You cried as your brothers fell all around.

When it was over, you all came back home,
Some were left with memories to face all alone;
Some found themselves in the company of friends
As their crosses cast shadows across the land.

Those who survived were forever scarred
Emotionally, physically, permanently marred.
Those who did not now sleep eternally
'Neath the ground they had given their lives to keep free.

With a hand upon my heart, I feel The pride and respect; my reverence is revealed
In the tears that now stream down my upturned face
As our flag waves above you, in her glory and grace.
Freedom was the gift that you unselfishly gave
Pain and death was the price that you ultimately paid.
Every day, I give my utmost admiration
To those who had fought to defend our nation.
God bless the Nigerian Army..

ELJC:
Joining the Nigeria is suicide, save your life. Bank job is better than joining the army in naija.

lol I’d rather die on the field than die from bank stress...

QuadrilAyinde:
second picx

mhen all this could have been avoided... but we thank them for their service..

Blueelf:
Is this the Gallant Officer?

please is he the same person... they don’t look alike ooo or do they?

ugo4u:
We hv to respect the dead.

true sir... with all these deaths, it’s very obvious the army will recruit and will want to in mass sef.. my dad called me to tell me
Today if I heard that about 20 something soldiers died today and I didn’t hear any news... he was asking if I’m still sure I want to do this

ugo4u:
The pictures am seeing is too gory....
Wahala dey oo.

I can't post them

oga mi post... nothing dey happen! We are intending officers...

ugo4u:
Jesus !!! you can't be serious..
Ogboli was an Active guy in this thread from Delta state.
This life is too cruel

cc
odinmbannamdi you suppose sabi this guy na
@mangojuice

bro naso we see am ooo.. a lot of good people died this year

Ramirezsarki:
The Nigerian Air Force on Sunday revealed the identity of the driver of the car that hit the late Flying Officer Tolulope Arotile.

NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Ibikunle Daramola, made this known at a just-ended briefing in Abuja.

Who come get an bro?

Course 44 lost a lieutenant yesterday as well...
One lieutenant Ogboli..

Ramirezsarki:
RIP to the heroes.... Thought they where both 2nd Lt... But in this pic I see two star

i explained earlier... army doesn’t have ceremonial for 2nd lieutenants, the one they have isn’t official... so when you are going for weddings and some events, as a 2nd lieutenant, you will wear the rank of Lieutenant

AirmanB:
In d academy, how does one differentiate between an RC cadet n SSC?

Like, do dey have different uniform? Do dey wear "5" slashes on their chest like RC?

same uniform but different parts of the academy and SSC wears yellow patches on their uniform
Course 44 wore blank rank pads on their chest that only wrote “nda and the battalion”
But course 45 wore yellow patch rank pads on their chest...

ugo4u:
[/b]
That one na dole not all of them sha, but most of them will do their time in the north east.

whats now the point of choosing Dssc? Abeg abeg! I’m seeing my SSC again

ugo4u:
e get why

lol na we be sacrificial lamb!! If the army goes ahead with this then they better keep the juicy appointments for SSC too..
But this also means that DSSC will resume in NE

Blueelf:


No lele

They may increase their intake this year or lower some of their requirements....who knows

With the way officers are dying (along with youth interests in the Army), this years screening would be very interesting

itll be like course 45... pass medicals and they’ll take you irrespective of what the board scores you..people won’t turn up for screening..

ugo4u:
I doubt if army will compromise on age issue, they may tell you to go and get an affidavit and make sure all your credentials correspond with the age but for them to overlook it somewhat Impossible except you are younger than required age they'll wave it off easily.
This is to also protect the said candidate in the future because the age may come to hunt such a person in service. You may be retired prematurely if your age exceed the threshold alloted to a certain rank. What they can do if they so need the person is to push such a one to DSSC cos the age limit is higher.

true true

I hope they’ll not ask us to bunch up like we usually do sitting on the floor spreading and contacting corona lol...

Blueelf:
I also have another question for the experienced candidates in the house. I am asking on behalf of a friend

He is already 28 this year (July 1 ) and he had his BSc in 2011 and Msc in 2019, is he still eligible for SSC?

cc Ugo4u, odimbanmamdi, sikowitz, ltchisom, and many others

Thanks in anticipation

ideally he has a more recent certificate to tender and there’s no way the army would reject a masters expect if some other issues dey.. that additional age can be overlooked.. a lot of things are overlooked during screening
Plus he’s still be 28 by commencement of training in January 2021..

Blueelf:
Okay, I thought I saw 2 stars on their soldiers...

My bad bro

May their souls rest in peace

I mean no offense but the guy on the right na very handsome young chap ooo

chai

i knew that was what confused you bro... army no get 1 star for ceremonial... they wear one but not for official events.. if it’s a wedding and some other events, 2nd lieutenants fly the lieutenant rank

Blueelf:
Looks like DSSC abi?

no bro... that’s ssc course 45... they were both 2nd lieutenants..

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

omo bro we don forget the matter bro.. the help wey you go do na to fix person up for here Abeg make dem sef fit get am...
All of us are here for each other.. one love bro.

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

QuadrilAyinde:
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.

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”

kingfestus:
instead of you to pray for them you are saying rubbish .. not your fault sha...jst allow dem meet you

??

LtChisom:
What is happening no be small question ooo, dem go soon finish i swear. En be like na them they dey use do sacrificial lamb this time around.

and I Dey vex for God that year when dem issue me medical ish.. Omo God is good oo

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
