Except in a rare case, though i have never witness one neither was i told about it. Once you have admitted into ACADEMY, you are part and parcel of the arm of service you belong. as i have wrote earlier " at AFSB that is where destinies are being changed "

For instance this happened during my younger brother's time at the AFSB 57RC is a Major today, a guy was interviewed when he was about to let go, the Gen was asking him " why did you prefer NN? you want to be with mammy water jokingly " he was ready to change it for him, but wanted him to make such decision by himself for him to ratify it.

Wow, I'll work hard for that. I appreciate your kind words.

Drefaithful:
But you stand a brighter chance with NA, though you almost got it this year based on your analysis above, i will advise you to choose NA next time, if you are meant to be an Airforce offr you will be one.

So many of my friends and family members admitted to NDA to the Different arm of service they applied for, some choose NN, but eventually they got NA, although at the AFSB that is where most destinies are changed. For instance, there is one a childhood friend of our lastborn during 61RC he chose NA, but as God we have it, he performed wonderfully at the AFSB, as such he was assured that day that he is coming as NAF Cadet by one of the Generals, eventually he was the first in the list in his sate.

Thank you, Sir. I'll try army next year but can you change your arm of service once admitted?

trilacos:
you can pick NN/NAF

Okay, Sir. I just pray I'll be selected. I actually know no one.

Jashub:
Yes. And it means you're lazy

Wtf. Nigeria could be shitty to anyone. Especially the guys who ain't doing illegal stuff

trilacos:
sorry bro,try harder next time. Have been there,you just wonder why it's you but God knows best.

Thanks ,Sir. I'll be 19 this year. Can I choose airforce again next year?

NDA just released the list of Regular Commission candidates. Both selected and reserve were asked to report!

But I wonder why the reserves for DSSC Course 26 where asked not to report despite being just 9 shortlisted from each state!

I faced the board too. Infact the Air force representative wrote down my chest number because I impressed the board. Throughout the AFSB I ensured that I made first cage and passed every stage.

Please, since the reserves reported together with the main ones does that mean that us that are not shortlisted have Hope to be called?! Thanks

GreenandGold:
This is actually interesting, how come it was never main stream or recognised. I mean you know us down-south, we'd mount gun on donkey and we'll make the whole world know about it .

Actually, the south African special forces was also involved in the war. They did alotta covert ops.

Odunayaw:
Alot of purple heart and medal of honor recipients

Remember Henry, who would had won the Victorian cross twice?!

LordMangekyo:
I'm really sorry bro..
I was praying for both of us to make it, since apparently it makes sense for both of us to enter the same time, since we both failed jamb last year and couldn't write NDAEE.
Really sad bro. I hope you apply again next year. God be with you

Congrats to you my gee. Nah, I'm not applying again.

I didn't. Congrats to all who did.

The Hausafalulani are playing with fire.
The south is more United than ever now, when we cut the port and the oil revenue and see what will be fate of hausafalulanis.

Who's the we?!

Effizzy130:
Boss, abeg check your mail @stormtrooper11

Done

To whom it may concern...

Nigerians are funny people. This shiit have been trending for awhile now. Tell me how 2.3 billion dollars which alittle is for capital budgets help in purchasing large consignments of military hardware?! Do you know how much one good fighter aircraft cost?! Little wonder we buy in trickles.

People like Governor Ortom keep playing football with the brains of average Nigerian anytime the month end is approaching to avoid paying salaries

Hallabee1:
Aje...USA came but left when they discovered that na them them

The US army actually never came to Nigeria. They only provided us with "military intelligence" and training as usual. During the Chibok girls kidnap, they helped run aerial reconnaissance missions from their UAV bases and provided map data of high security importance.

bonnyhope:
If your explanation is actually what it is

Why are they not better equipped?

It's not about guns. Bandits are equipped with Ak-47s and Fabrique National rifles. Nigerian soldiers have the M762 beryl rifle as the standard and over 20 different types rifles.

The Nigerian army is the most equipped army in black Africa. The issue is lack of coordination, poor intelligence gathering, politicking and spies and support base across government security agencies aiding the terrorists.

Even when Nigerian army bases were overran in the North East, the army have the same rifles like the terrorists but what do you expect when there is poor discipline and a large number of officers didn't wanna lead from the front?!

Onigawara:
I hope not ...... though still expecting even worse.....)))))

Onigawara:
I think you will need the degree bcus it is always stated in the annual requirements of DSSC and SSC that a BSc or Hnd is required....... except ofcourse you're going to join NDA RC if age is still on your side.

Do airforce have SSC?! Thought it was only DSSC

jl115:
People don't know Israel

Especially Putin fanboys

Omofaye99:
Yes..Israel are very mean when it comes to retaliation, but we all saw what happened in 2006 against Hezbollah where they were targeting civilians in the name striking Hezbollah.


Hamas is a weak adversary to Israel, Iran is on another level..strike them and watch the middleeast burn.

Is it the same Isreal that destroyed Iraqi nuclear reactors you're talking about!!?!

Omofaye99:
Well Iran is self sufficient when it comes to military, Egypt on the other hand relies on import.

I am not using the global firepower rating.

Egypt relies on import?! Egypt that ensures it haves a domestic factory for most equipment purchased?!

Joshater:
Gentlemen Aspirants, i advice you, if you've done your best at the AFSB and you're believing God to make the final list, utilize the time you've got at hand now to learn swimming...'breast stroke' if possible. (You'd Thank me Later...)

Thanks, Sir.

jl115:
actually most Saffas don't give a fvck for the most part..... We just want oil prices to go down

While Nigerians want the oil prices up

Onigawara:
They always picks up to 12 each year, with 2 to 3 reserves.

I went through last year's final list pdf and yeah some states had no female on their list. So it's possible

Wow, okay.

Scoutvibe:
I heard NDA pop is on 23 July. And the final list is coming out on 31 July.
Let keep our hopes alive the best shall surely come to us

July?? POP is normally September na

e fit be yahoo boy you dey chat sef

Onigawara:
Stormtrooper11, how many candidates from your state chose computer science as their course? Are they many?

Cus from what I'm seeing, they're only going to pick just ONE person for each course. Only engineering gets two, sometimes.

I'm so scared right now because the former COAS son with very strong connection applied for computer science too

Nonetheless, I trust the God I serve. I'm putting my trust and confidence in him. I will be selected!

I'm not sure how many picked computer science but I personally know only 3 who did. Most of people from my state chose DSS, cyber security and mostly art courses.

I saw a document which states that they'll pick 11 and 12 per state and they'll not pick a girl from Kogi state. How true is it?!

Odunayaw:
I'm already imagining the blank look on the faces of the bookstore attendants in Nigeria when you ask about such a book

If you're like me that finds it easy to read books electronically, head to pdfdrive.com and search that title

Thanks, chief. The site is a goldmine.

[quote author=Odunayaw post=114701499][/quote]You know any bookstore around I could get it from, chief?!

Onigawara:
Yes, but ours was very different and abnormal. All states who did their medical, their results were out the next day and at most the next 2 days.
Ours came out 5 days after our medical. We even planned on protesting lol. One of the soldier there even said delta candidates are causing the people there alot of problem because of the tough connections. So deep within me I thought maybe some special candidates had some serious medical issues but they couldn't decide whether to disqualify them. I confirmed this when the son of a former COAS from delta was sent home because of flat foot and not being able to see well. He got home and his father sent him back. He got in and they conducted a special aptitude test and sand modeling for him. He ran his 3.2km race and did his obstacles specially since we did ours two days before. And he faced board with us.


They punished the whole delta state candidates numbering 65+.
They lied that we were making noice when an officer asked about what happened. The punishment really weakened me ngl.


They asked me only two questions.
I just got in... Wasn't even told to sit.
After greeting, the board chairman just asked me what is computer science?
I answered then he asked "how can computer science be useful to the military?"
We dwelled on that question for some minute because they kept interrupting and countering me but I stood my ground and re-countered them swiftly. After everything, I thought they all shook their head in satisfaction.... The registria then looked at my chest number.... Jotted it down, asked for my arm of service and age... Also jotted them down.

BTW the board chairman gave his drink and snacks to one of my fellow candidate because he displayed beyond imagination.


We will by the special Grace of God Almighty.

Wow, this is beyond my imagination. Damn! We'll make it by God's grace. Nigeria no try.

Onigawara:
It was.... I think okay?

We were supposed to finish in the first week, bcus we were among the first to do medicals. But delta states candidates apparently have too many connections, so they didn't know who to disqualify. Our result came out I think 5 days after. Even then some disqualified people returned because of their connections lol

Meanwhile, when we went to afaka for medicals, some Terma 1 and Terma 2 cadets gave us a taste of the doom that awaits us. They gave us jobs and it was only by God's miracle that I didn't end up crying or even fainting bcus I for sure reached my limit. I went bed that day thinking if I can really handle the Brutality of NDA because that was just child's play compared to what awaits to be honest. I saw some Terma one cadets licked their lips on sighting us... Some nodding their heads...... Some looking as though they couldn't just wait to receive us into their domain.

BTW I had a very tough debate with the board yesterday. After everything, the registria asked for my arm and my age. He jotted them down and then before asking me to go. I pray I make it by the grace of God. Amen

How many of you faced board?
