I don't understand? Are you saying the US marines are special forces or are you saying that the NA special forces wear uniforms similar to US Marines?

the latter

Kalapizim:
There are special forces and specialised infantry, unfortunately the term special forces is abused in our military with troops on specialised course embracing the tag special forces to feel cool.

the main special forces guys usually wear black most times and wear foreign camouflage uniforms at the frontlines! Mostly us marine uniforms

Ramirezsarki:
One of them was an ex-commado(command sec. Sch here in ribadu cantonment) he was special forces too

yeah the chubby guy..

Prospect048:
honestly, I was just thinking of their departure here since, it was this evening oh, they enter BH mines

the other fair guy! That one is like 25 kai

heryoub22:
special forces is only for combatant not non-combatant. Do nothing like jonzing

lol that’s what I said, can’t you read English?

Mhen! This life! My course 45 friends posted the picture of 2 guys I remember from screening who got killed today! Both of them 2nd lieutenants... barely 5 months after posting!

Know the reality of this job! I wouldn’t want to post the it pictures here as a sign of respect to them

ugo4u:
The weight par say isn't the issue, BMI(Body Mass Index) is the koko i.e The ratio of your weight with respect to height.
It must fall within the range of 18 to 25 anything below or above is underweight or overweight.
To calculate your BMI divide your weight by the square of your height.

oga sir! I think this last screening, they took till 29.9

heryoub22:
from all corps, but you have to pass the screening to be selected

so what you are saying is, they will pick someone from education and finance to be special forces? Don’t jonze yourself

spetsnaz:
Guys I have a question.
In selecting members of the special forces does the army select only from the infantry corp? or any personnel from other corps like Artillery, Armour, signals etc can be randomly selected. Thanks

after your 9 months training in nda, you’ll go for special forces selection screening in jaji! Now the thing I don’t know is if it’s all the cadets they take there or few! Cours en 45 they took all including the female officers. They were in jaji at that time as well but I don’t know if they participated. The female officers and some male officers were selling jobs to the Dssc guys. I’m talking about this Dssc that’s passing out soon

ugo4u:
Tune in to Ait at 1500hrs or nta 1530hrs army has something for you guys especially our cracked specialAgent you wouldn't want to miss out.

lol boss if it’s not about recruitment! I no dey watch

QuadrilAyinde:
I saw a question on quora this Morning and I'd like to share the question here too to know our respective opinions about it...

Does being in the military make you tough or confident??

it gives you both and more! A sense of duty, vigilance, courage! Many more

AirmanB:
Does tension also affect this ECG results or it only affects BP?

one of the determining factors of a good ECG is the heart beat per minute that’s why they always tell us to calm down and relax well before they start the machine! So yes if you are over excited or tensioned, it’ll most definitely mess with tour heart rate and the result would likely be bad or irregular ECG
When I screened for course 45, the man that did it made a mistake and put the left plug on my right chest and the result came out bad! He noticed his mistake and said “let me help you do it again, I was the one that made this mistake” and corrected it and I passed! So it can also be human error

LtChisom:
those people who take hbp suppressants don't know it takes up to a month to start taking. It is ignorance that will make one who will be screened tomorrow of bp to start taking it now, it won't just work, you have to have been taking it for long for the effects to start showing and taking that king of drug for the first time can have a tremendous side effect which can be counter productive to what you want to achieve like it can make your heart cardiogram to have irregular pattern which will affect your other tests.

and once your ECG says irregular or Bad ECG, e don finish! They don’t even look twice...

Ramirezsarki:
Ist batch from my state, almost half of us went for medical review, some more than once

they calmed down for you guys nah! I wasn’t reviewed for bp! I thought all was well only for that civilian eye doctor opened mouth to tell me that my bp was 140! I was like ehhhhh village people!! Baba just laughed

The thing is most of us that they issued bp wahala didn’t really have it! I wasn’t reviewed and I didn’t have it! When I checked after I left academy it was completely normal.. I still checked this morning and it’s very Normal! Doe there was a guy I know that was checked like 6 times and it kept getting higher at every time lol!

SpecialAgent:
Expect the best.
Prepare for the worst .
Capitalize on what comes.




If we no make the list, it just wasn't meant to be. No biggy.

doesnt mean you shouldn’t keep trying! I was told about a guy that got it on his 6th trial... never shortlisted until the 6th time...got it then
It also can be times and seasons. The time might not be right on your first application as God might want you to have some form of maturity and patience before you get in!

ugo4u:
HBP is the single major health issue that flags down majority of candidates during medicals, I did a lil research on lowering BP and even experimented it and the results were instant and astonishing.
Aside Moringa which is also very effective I noticed that Garlic is also very powerful, infact one of the major benefit of Garlic is lowering of BP, it's so effective that it can work wonders in minutes unlike Moringa that may take 1 week to get results though moringa will also crash your sugar level drastically if not controlled your BP may go dangerously low causing another problem for you. But this isn't the case with Garlic.
Key ingredients
1) Lemon
2) 2 bulbs of Garlic
3) I glass of Warm water

Preparation
Crush the garlic and pour it inside the glass of water for 2mins then squeeze the lemon into the mixture and stir.
Take this on an empty stomach, your BP will go down almost immediately.
The result is magical. Chewing a glove of garlic 3x a day will also yield same result but the odour and stench from your mouth fit disqualify you
If one can prepare this before going for medicals it will shield you from HBP tsunami atleast you can now worry about other things.

Another option is to buy BP suppressant I learnt it lasts for 24hrs, and NA medical team don't test for it, many people that did this scaled through, infact one of NDA regular on this thread used suppressant to escape HBP.

Cavaet
Doing this is at one's own risk because you hide your underlying health issues from the medical team to the detriment of your own life.. What I mean is that you may be cleared only for you to go and die during race or even training, there are many instances where people with health issues one way or the other escaped medicals either via connect or using drugs only for them to die during training. So weigh your options properly.

this would have helped me in December lol
Operation carry garlic to screening Incase anxiety decides to shoot bp up again

ugo4u:
Seems like someone is listening.

boss that guy on twitter doesn’t know anything! Doe I like how he keeps up the image of the military alive but most of his push outs are stale and old!

QuadrilAyinde:
Abeg I go like follow u reason one matter brother...
quadril1995@gmail.com... I'll really appreciate if You can send a dm

shey na money matter? If na money matter no wahala

Quick remainder to those who are still smoking weed and popping pills! They still do drug/urine tests at the screening so it’s best to stop ASAP

ugo4u:
Things will be clearer from now till Monday, I am optimistic portal will be reopened.

we are all hopeful boss!

The most important issue that I think needs immediate addressing is if the forms would be out next month! If it isn’t, this thread will go silent for almost a year again... if anyone has a piece of information to address this! It’d be appreciated

Ramirezsarki:
Yeah.... Within kaduna metropolis

you remember those guys wey dem lock for guard room wey carry fake WAEC come? If you were batch 2 you’ll remember

spetsnaz:
It's obvious youngies and kids plenty here, the kind thing I dey read for here ehh! honestly Ugo4u get patience dey even respond.
Some of una never even enter una don begin talk about this una childhood fantasy of building machines, changing the military, bla bla bla even one person talk say he wants to go into bullet proof research for army una want to take laugh kill person, I swear all of una no well.
Your goal now should be to try and get yourself shortlisted and eventually make camp all this shalaye ko necessary na when una enter una go know how far even the guy wey to go fight Bokoharam dey hungry wtf!! Wetin una dey smoke sef?
Funny men.

my own is people should just press buttons to get in as much as they talk! Cos e no go nice if after all this many many gist, person no make shortlist

Blueelf:
Oga, it doesn't take 4 -5 yrs striaght. Even their special forces don't take more than a year on tour. Show me a source that says their tour takes 4 to 5 years straight . And we are talking about Land military and not Navy. Stop trying to bring the US military to a level of mediocrity to justify the nonsense that the Nigerian Army has become

The US military will take over Nigeria in 5 days max (in the event of an invasion)

whatever makes you sleep at night baba! Enjoy �

Blueelf:
Incorrect


The US army has 9 week Basic training while the marines train for 13 weeks

After the basic training(boot camp) recruits the proceed to specialized schools for further training. E.g. infrantry, artillery, armour, signals, medical etc

For the US marines however, after the 13 week basic training, all recruits (irrespective of which military arm they will serve under) proceed to the BAsic Infantry school at Quantico Virginia. Hence the marine creed that says " Every US marine is a rifle man"

And even though they suffer losses, it's not as humiliating as that of the Nigerian Army. They have air support and drone surveillance(not toy drones ooo). Also, their soldiers are only allowed a tour of max 9 months after which they go back to see their families(I heard so NA soldiers have been fighting Boko Harm for 5 years straight). The US military sticks to R & R rules for their troops (Rest & Relaxation) to keep them fit and reduce the after effects of PTSD.

Please never ever compare the Nigerian military to the US military.

like I said, the is navy basic military training is 6 weeks! Army and marines take longer! And besides a us soldiers tour can last up to 3/4 years as well!! That’s how come soldiers come home and their kids are already 5 years! It’s the same way some officers only serve in maiduguri for 2 years or less and are sent out! Some soldiers are affected by something they call “1bai” I don’t know how to spell it! It’s a situation where a soldier is quickly drafted to the NE for emergencies while it still shows he’s serving in his previous location! If a general shuffle comes and he’s now posted to the NE he has to continue there Cos his posting there just started! I know 2 people that we’re affected by this! Thereby staying there for much longer than necessary

Sometimes you people flaw the Nigerian military too much! Even the almighty us navy and marines still suffer deeply in the hands of talibans. Their basic training is 6 weeks! 6 weeks mhen Cos you are in a hurry to go to Iraq to die! Out military is trying walai! I’ve seen officers and men fight for days without food or water! But no way to push this narrative to the average Nigerian! It’s when our soldiers die that the news carries it!

SpecialAgent:
The way I see it, the terrorists just don't fear the Nigerian Army like they do the BIR or the Chadian Army.

thats not true baba! Chad launched 1 offensive!! I this was done inside the Chadian mountains and not Nigeria! They simply cleaned house and it made the news
A friend told me that whenever they are on the offensive, the bandits run into the Chadian mountains to hide and they cannot continue pursue cos it’s another country’s problem!! If Nigeria marched troops to that mountain, it’d have been the same result Cos some fractions of boko haram stay there! Our army is still one of them most fared f or ground Attack in AFRICA! You know how many cadets come from sister African countries to do their regular course in nda! The Nigerian navy sbs still trains some countries special forces till date!

AirmanB:
Anyone heard d latest news? House of Rep wants to replace d 1 year NYSC scheme to 1 year of Military service

lol a house of rep member suggested it! It will never fly in this country

QuadrilAyinde:
LET'S ASSUME the Nigerian Army CANNOT AFFORD fighter jets or helicopters that will sweep the area before ground troops arrive. Maybe they have helicopters and fighter jets but don't want to sacrifice them on every mission...there are alternatives!

What are our alternatives?.... DRONES.... Yes, since the government doesn't want to sacrifice the few jets and helicopters we have on ground, we can always use Drones for aerial support.

Again, I'd like to assume the worst case scenario, SO NIGERIA CAN'T AFFORD A DRONE LIKE THE ONE THE USA USED IN TAKING OUT GENERAL SOLEMANI OF IRAN (Armed with Automatic guns, missiles and night vision).

ANY DRONE WILL DO AS LONG AS IT HAS A CAMERA OR CAMCORDER. Since most camera drones are low-cost (believe me I've done my research and found out the prices of these drones range from $50-$3000) and come with their own control stick, anyone can operate these valuable assets.

This way even if the enemy spots the drone, their location would already be given away, leaving them with TWO OPTIONS: SPLIT OR TAKE THE DRONE DOWN. IN ANY EVENT, THE OPERATOR WOULD HAVE SEEN THE ENEMY AND ALERTED THE UNIT, THIS WAY, THEY ARE PREPARED FOR WHAT IS TO COME.

If they have to man defensive positions or reach out to the nearest base for support or backup, they now have the upper hand as the enemy has lost the element of surprise

lol bro you want to use commercial drones to do what? Do you know the fly limit of these drones, I have a drone and I can tell you that it won’t do much really and they are basically flying targets with the noise they make while flying! This is my drone that I bought from amazon! You can’t use these for strategic military play! They sell these to kids as toys bro
I’ve not even used it in 3 months Cos why!! It’s just to fly and relax!

Prospect048:
But here in my state, they don't issue certificate again oh, they only issued testimonial and I even went to the school, the HM said they are no more issuing anything like certificate, na testimonial them dey issue.
