Them say Buratai don extend am ooo .

Plus NDA is now 4years for Navy and Airforce, so instead of doing a 5th year, they hang midmanship straight away. The 4 years is 4years oo, no delay. This was due to the fact that after training and becoming mid men in 5th year, on return to NDA for POP (just 3weeks period) some of them were withdrawn.

itsmolep:


He will still out rank those that entered through SSC before him..

After your 9months SSC training, you'll pip 2nd lieutenant and after 4 years you'll hang lieutenant..

But as nda graduate, you'll hang lieutenant 6 months after your pop..

As a SSC Officer, you will be commissioned as a Lieutenant not 2nd lieutenant. It's NDA cadat that come out as 2nd lieutenant, then after 6 months they will be promoted to Lieutenant. I've got two brothers that graduated from Academy, so that's the fact.

Why waste time and energy going through 5 years in NDA when he could have gone through DSSC with his 1st degree in hand??

DSSC is for professionals who are providing services for the real military officers: doctors, engineers, teachers, lawyers etc

leksbore:
As long as you are residing in the states as at the time....Google about the requirements you will see that it's very easy to be a military personal in USA.

Because Americans need foreigner in their army. So when the say 50 American dies, 47 will be black American. Even this coro of a thing majority of people dying are black Americans

Edenoscar2:

he should have gone for short service with his cerificate, as long as he gets a minimum second lower. This is just an 8-9 month training

How can someone apply for the short service

better say: cannon fodder

leksbore:
he is a lucky guy but if it were to be me...I would just travel out and the United States NAVY...OR AIRFORCE

I wonder how I'll leave my country's and go and die for another's man's country all because of money.

Really??

Do DSSC guys fight Boko Haram??

Not just for money. Also, to get a better life for your family.

If those countries didn't fight and develop their country, will immigrants want to go there.

We need to see past the short term in this country and put the work in so that future generations can benefit and succeed instead of running away to be second class citizens.

Lol... asking the right questions.

Okay since you've gone there let me ask you. If you're made the President of this country today how would you make sure people put in the work to build this country and not think of going to serve in the united states military??

stanisbaratheon:


Really??

Do DSSC guys fight Boko Haram??

Certainly, you can't head any battalion fighting Boko Haram and it means you aren't at the war front, but also trained and carry things like pistol for self-defence; they are providing services: doctors treating wounded soldiers, engineers constructing bridges to cross difficult terrain and repairing equipment, teachers teaching at schools etc. However, it's even more difficult for DSSC to convert to Regular than SSC.

ShitStain:




Lol... asking the right questions.

Absolutely . It's a rhetorical question though.
I once tried DSSC in 2017 but couldn't get in after the final screening in Lagos.

What is the difference between DSSC and SSC??

my younger brother got ission to state University when he was 16 yrs, so after he graduated from the University, he applied for Nigeria Defense Academy, he was among the successful that was itted last year, now he is terma one( 100 level), a Navy cadet. pls will he regret making this decision. pls forget about my English.

He's on track bro. Please, your entire family should continue to encourage him.

Gone are the days when men enlisted in the Armed Forces for the ion. He should be prepared physically and mentally.

I tried entering the NDA in 2008 but was not successful. I tried Army SSC 2014, yet again, unlucky. I've since focused on my career path...

E nor easy shaaa...

Some of my friends that were fortunate enough to be commissioned in 2015 are not finding it funny. Survival is key.

Stay safe.

DSSC is for only professional courses; often even professional ship from your field, i.e Nigeria Medical Association, Council for Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria, Nigeria Institute of Architect is required for DSSC. SSC is for all graduates regardless of what you study at university; SSC are trained fully like NDA cadets and can head any battalion in war front; they receive more training than DSSC.

Well said chief.

As an addendum, there are age restrictions as well.

Due to the fact that emphasis is placed on itting professionals into the Force, DSSC accommodate older applicants. I think up to 35years.

During my time trying to the Navy via DSSC in 2017, the maximum age limit then was 28 years.

My brother, thanks for the input. The NN has always been extremely competitive...

Although, my post was in reference to several updates from the Army Military Secretary for DSSC applicants.
