Generaloluseye:
Good to find my self in this new thread. The diff btw dssc and ssc is that dssc is for professionals like engineers, doctors, lawyers, chaplain...etcwhile ssc is for a graduate of any course not listed in a particular year during advert. Dssc training is for 6 months while ssc training is for 9 months. Dssc gets two star while ssc gets one star after training. I hope that helps

tosinfresh:

Dssc is also 9 months training

@movingcoil

i served and am working currently in Ojo barracks, suffice it to say that i have mingled with senior officers who are willing to share info with aspirants. infact i have 2 friends that are 2nd lieutenants who just passed out from the last concluded courses. one went to NDA while the other is SSC

We will be required to run a distance of 3.2km in 15mins. the race will culminate into an enclosure that, once u make it in within the stipulated time, then u have qualified for the next stage.

am also on the big and muscular side with a weight of 85kg. i run too, but my major problem is endurance, though am seriously working on it now through early morning jogging.

i suggest u do the same because if u dont make the race, no senior officer will be able to influence it. so work on your fitness now.

to add to what generaloluseye said

only God guarantees safety, but as an officer u must be ready to die. stark truth! during the election period, the camo uniform and boots of all the lieutenants and captains were ready for immediate movement. most of them slept very late so they would be ready to go to any troubled area.

i pray God protects and keep us till the time of our retirement

Do not be mistaken, Depot is where RRI (Regular Recruit Intake) train, it is located in Zaria. It is not a general name for training grounds.

justineu:
bro, do they require 2:1 or 2:2 or any grade for ssc. Tnks

adegold1234:
Pls how,do they accept NECO result as Olevel requirement or only WAEC result?

mimzy007:
Bushhunter you are wrong on that, a graduate with a third class result cannot apply. They state 2:2 is the least class acceptable, in fact NN states 2:1 as their least. Maybe you have never noticed but they state it.

BUSHHUNTER:
Mimzy007 stating it does not mean one with 3rd class should not apply I know quite a number of peeps with 3rdclass and they are in the Army its just there to chase ppl away...since the process is based on mental and physical strength.

viqueta:
Are u saying u can still buy even the NN dssc form even if u have a 2.2?

DSpokesMan:
@isidollarboy, as regards your referees, usually, you'ld be required to print out pages for your referees' attestation. They would sign (comment) and affix their passports.
N.B: Its not so easy getting refs to release their passports.

Concerning your letter of attestation, I'd humbly advice you apply and patiently wait for your name to be shortlisted before applying for your letter from your school. Letter of Attestation is only presented (physically) if you are privileged (and lucky enough) to make the first Shortlist. However, there's no harm getting the Letter ready if you are 'very sure' of making the list.

Bonnenuit!

Can I apply without NYSC discharge certificate?
