The truth about Navy DSSC is that it's rear for them to screen applicant on merit so if you don't have any body in Abuja to help you, please pray heard. The only arm of the Armed Forces of Nigeria where merit is used to some large extent is the "Army" and even this is for their "Short service combatant course" as their DSSC enlistment is to a large extent "not based on merit".



you just said my mind....Even gods can't help u..Because it's d most decent and highest paying armed force,,u must ve somebody ooo

Big fat lie...Because your people don't get to be short listed doesn't mean it's not transparent or based on merit

Some of u will just pop Up here and say rubbish thinking u are right..
Navy recruitment is more Transparent than the Army and Airforce... Dont come here and discourage anybody.
During DSSC23 recruitment more that 75% of the main list got it on Merit. The guy that came first in d Rat Race during DSsc23 is here on Nairaland #SirAleeeyu. His name came out without any help. He is from Sokoto. We hv #Lolukeyz is also a member here nd his name came out... Im also a witness to it.. I can keep calling names u know.. Some of u will Bleep up and say the Navy Bleep u up

In Dssc23 some people were dismissed on medical ground after resumption of training and some people were called to replace them. People dat hv forgotten about the Navy already nd are going about dere normal activities. And u said no merit? Weldone..

If that is the case, it will take longer years before officers get to high ranks, thus most would have attain the age of retirement before they get there
Its still 4 years for now.. Even if its 5 years(Its for only Sub-Lt and Lt. The rest is normal 4/3 years promotion. If ya promotion is normal u will reach d height in normal time..
Re: Nigerian Navy Direct Short Service Course Aspirants(dssc) 2015 by danshadrach: 9:41am On Dec 21, 2016
Please how is the elimination process going to be? Is it that people are being eliminated on failing any stage?As in if someone fails ratrace he is sent home and will not participate in the medical tests OR everyone is allowed to participate in all exercises then the shortlist.

Please I'm just asking.
Re: Nigerian Navy Direct Short Service Course Aspirants(dssc) 2015 by danshadrach: 9:49am On Dec 21, 2016
And Oga Pijay help me shed light on the limitation of years to serve in the NN. I heard u serve for only 10 years meaning u will be compulsorily retired as either a Lieutenant or a Lieutenant Commander. Pls is that true

Medicals is really straight forward. They will do chest xray, blood, urine and eye tests. Then for girls, pregnancy test.
To be sure where u stand, you may want to test for d following before u go...
HIV
Hepatitis B and C
Diabetes
Visual acuity
STIs
Urinalysis
Blood pressure
Now here's a tip. Don't get panicky when they want to check your BP and other vital signs...cos they might get a falsely high value. More tips soon...

Found this on this trend.....page 52.............. and am sharing for those who are hopeful.

Weight will be checked of course. However, there is no generally accepted weight. It depends on your height. Thus, they will check both weight and height to get your BMI. This is calculated as weight divided by square of ur height in metres. Unit is Kg/sq metre. Normal range is 18.5 to 24.9
If you get a value above that, my brother start losing weight now.

This one too!

Do they usually conduct d tests and screenings exactly d way it was sequentially arranged here? And is it still within two weeks time frame?
Re: Nigerian Navy Direct Short Service Course Aspirants(dssc) 2015 by Tboy243: 12:51pm On Dec 21, 2016
And also, are we gonna get our results immediately before we leave the screening arena during the 2weeks or until sometimes later after the weeks?

oga pijay
please what is the highest rank one can attain?
and how long does it take to be promoted
Subby to Lt. 4years (there are plans to change to 5yrs but not approve yet)

Lt 4years to lt-Cdr (there are plans to change to 5yrs but not approve yet)

Lt-Cdr to Commander 4years(But u can only b promoted if u pass CAPEX Exam) Wen u join d Navy u will know d meaning of CAPEX

Commander to Captain 4years

Captain to Commodore 5Years

Commodore to Rear Admiral 4years

Real Admiral to Vice Admiral(CNS) to Admiral(CDS) are political appointment.

Admiral of the Fleet(5 stars General) Nobody have that appointment in Africa. Its a Rear 1. Its reserve for the very best Admirals wi guide there country to world and back successfully.

Remember Promotion in Military is like a Pyramid, from d bottom its Large but the Too is Small. Along d line some people will not b promoted for 1 or more reason.

If u have a steady promotion after 26 year time u will b a rear admiral which is rare.
