Just recently I went to the market,saw this nice army camouflage face cap,paid for it and wore it around... Just yesterday on my street, an army saw me and called me and started asking me questions which I couldn't answer. Thank God the guy was a neigbourhood fellow otherwise I would have been dead meat by now. He almost took me to albatti barracks... I begged and gave him all I got in my pocket... About 5200 naira. The worst part was that he followed me home and kept threatening to deal with me in a very loud tone that attracted my neigbours.... I felt so stupid and ashamed of myself and full of remorse. Thank God I've learnt my lesson. After this ugly experience, I gave a thought about really joining the army.. I'm 27 and still in school... But with what I'm seeing here I think I will rather remain a civillian and pursue my dream of becoming a psychologist.

Let me answer some few threads cos so many questions asked! The person that posted this thread I really recommend ur eforts! But u should know that 06 is very long in d army! The shortest training u can attend in NDA is 9months not 6months dats NDA standard unles u train outside NDA e.g airforce dssc train in NAF base kaduna and DSSC army alternates its training btw NASME markudi and Jaji,So many reforms! U need 2 go bak and lay ur hands on harmonized terms and conditions of service HTACOS 12 revised editions and CAP A20 2004 2 be able 2 answer some curios questions! As 4 the masters degree holder! Yes u can! I was commissioned into d army wit msc but d basic qualification is bsc/hnd,msc is just an added advantage! I will soon be going 4 my phd in few months coming by his grace.
With ond cert, I think navy n airforce may enlist u as a corporal but 4 army is a private!
As 4 physical challenged person dat read comp sci, bro sorry dey don't take ppl wit disablities simple because of d strenous nature of d trianing and after training! Believe me! Its not easy I lost 4 of my coursemate during training and I almost lost my eye, I had 2 surgeries after training but I still feel light! Knowledge is worth sharing! All the best guys!

God bless my godfahter. Sir how i wish I can get in touch as regard my CO who might be your junior or ur coursemate or someone you know. I and i serve at 33 Field Artillery Brigade Sir and my CO is pursuing me way and manner...without me buying any job or flaunting orders. Am an ex-boy (NMS 95) and i dont fail to report as per the current Circular and for the sake of papa alpha yankeee Sir. I know i am not suppose to utter such here (Sir i dont know how to use the NL PM) but it is so galring that my platoon officer and even my regimental police both ask if i once bought the Officer's blanket job. Sir the last time i reported (all d way to bauchi} i met his absencce but decided to get in touch to let him know i reported just to make sure he doesnt book me, find fault or enter my dossier. As if NA is his village army, immediately i called he ordered me to travel down to Jos (HQ 3DIV) to see him which i did. only for him ask him to order me back as he picked the usual falt he likes picking that on a starchable on a thurday. It took the special grace of God before he formally released me for the concluded 42 SSC AFSB interview. Sir what do you think i should do in this case? Permission Sir...

Yes Sir. I am on study leave so i dont stay in my unit Sir I only report as per AHQ circular. He's also a senior ex-boy and i once told his village man of same rank to intervene only for him to say that am reporting him. I have very senior officers I know personally and some that i met and became acqquinted with via FB Ex-boys group. Sir the issue is i have plans to go for shortservice commssioning cos i even faced the concluded 42 SSC AFSB but unfortunately i didnt make the final list that came out 3days ago although i already know it will turn out that way cos Army MS and Chief of Logistics both personally begged my godfather, explaining to him the pressure they have as they got approval for an increase in number of slots for DSSC but not for SSC so the pressure in my state is much as regard SSC, that i should apply for 43 SSC when forms go on sale. Sir i dont want him to puruse me way and manner as a commissioned officer though i know he cant do what he is doing now after I am commissioned nor will continue being my CO. But he can still use chain of command through his coursemates in same unit with me to rubbish my dossier after the senior officers i know leave service Sir. I will ask some NL friends on how to use the PM and forward his particulars and Sit-Rep Sir. God bless my godfather. Permission Sir

The Nigerian Military comprises of Army, Navy and Airforce. Any organisation besides these are civil organisations.
