A Doctor In The Military Via Short Service Course by jansonn(m): 7:19am On Jan 04, 2022 |
Hello guys, I'm a medical student about to finish, please, I need help and advice from those that have gone ahead!! I plan to take a short service course in the navy or airforce after I'm done. Been praying and thinking about it. Will my job description be restricted to military hospitals or I'd have to carry weapons around? Will I be able to further like residency after I join?? Will travelling out of the country be more difficult?? Is it safe, my mum is against it so I plan to not tell her. Please, I'd appreciate your input guys 2 Likes 1 Share |

Most comments below will not give you anything sensible so that they will just advise you telling you the military is bad. |

You might fall under healthcare personnel whose job is to provide medical services to military personnel and their family members.. you may work as part of a patient-service team with doctors..nurse.. or other healthcare professionals.. Some specialize in providing emergency medical treatment in combat areas.. As a combat medic you will also receive the same basic weapons training as every other soldiers.. Regarding your mum if you love the job you have to go for it..tell her about it.. This is a little contribution and hope it helps.. 3 Likes |

jansonn:Kid, Navy and airforce doesn't do Short service. Only direct short service. If you wanna practice your skill or field in the military then DSSC is what you'll apply for. If you apply for short service then sorry na your name. You'll automatically become a combatant irrespective of what you studied. |

I wanted to follow my bro in law through this same route some years back. I wanted Navy or Airforce The guy is a Consultant and in the Navy told me he wasted 15 years of his life according to him. Your likelihood of dying in action is very very low BUT they control your life. To go out for weekend sef na wahala. It took years before they approved him to proceed for Residency. If all you're thinking about is money - Abroad. If you're passionate about military then apply. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Foolish you. Write your exams and get out of this country. Which Military? It's like you are not alright. You will be a chronic MO. Residency after 15 years. Retire bitterly. And you will also carry weapons. Everybody carries weapons. Abeg comot this topic make I see Road, mtchew 2 Likes |

jansonn: I am not writing off the Military route. But IF you must, do Airforce / Navy to reduce your risk of dying in action. ![]() If it's financials, I did far better than him going the UN route. And ... I would NEVER ever forget the look on his face when he gave me the " 15 years of regret" speech. I was crushed because I always rued not making the military. |

jansonn:PLEASE, join your mates and leave the country. The only thing you benefit from joining that is PRESTIGE, which can be gotten on a plater of Gold the moment you relocate to the UK and continue your work! The UK prestige will definitely come with a fatter bank account, especially now Buhari is hellbent on crashing the country into the sea b4 leaving. Even NGIGE knows this. |

jansonn:What suffering are you talking about.? I was in same shoes many years ago. Had thoughts of joining the Army while I was still a resident in a Teaching Hospital in Nigeria. But when I heard the salary difference, I completely reneged on my plan. Why expose my Life, Freedom and career to trauma for a mere 30k difference. I had to redirect my plans towards relocating to the US. Now I'm in the US. US is the Bomb! The US has got a lot of rigors, but u have to be patient. IF you ain't patient, then the UK is fine. 5 Likes 1 Share |

bobbybrown007: Their money plenty?? I use to have a close friend (same class) when I they tutor back in secondary school, his mum will be like "come and teach him oo". His parents pushed him, he studied medicine not the best school (that is when I understand that the name of school doesn't matter). As I speak he is in the military as a medical doctor. I never got a job as an engineer 8 years after NYSC till now. Anytime I see guy I shake my head. I studied the wrong course. Engineering Nah scam. 3 Likes |
