High pass rate.

High pass rate.

Were you expecting only 3 people to pass? 1 from NN, 1 form NA and the third from GN.

Have we graduated any Ghanaian personnel prior to this training before?

I had no expectations.

That's just a comment.

Congratulations to the 708 Passing Out Cadets of the 64RC, 65 RC Navy & Airforce of the Nigeria Defence Academy.

Please send us more shots of the RC graduates. Thanks

MikeCZA:

Yes, for a number of years now I believe.

A naval officer I spoke with said most qualified applicants that met basic

requirements crash out during selection. Fewer quit during training

They don't look tactically alert.

Not surprising.

Whatever that means I am sure SANDF soldiers look it.

I think its because the guys at the back are chilling, as apposed to pic related.

But you know, its a picture, so the trainer may have stopped the exercise to demonstrate something hence everyone is in a relaxed stance when the pic was snapped

Pic above has gotten me thinking, why hasnt the SANDF transitioned to a carbine like the R5?

The shorter barrel doesnt effect it much because you only drop from 3,215 ft/s to 3,018.4 ft/s.

Remember the m4 comes in at 2,970 ft/s the brit SA80A2 comes in at 3,084 ft/s and the new froggie AR clone (the HK416F) gets a paltry 2585.3 ft/s.

One unique thing about NDA cadets is that all their students have very high IQs. Most of my friends that are there were always on top of the class when we were in school. In fact one quited university in level 200 with strong First Class result just to join NDA.

in 2013 kenya anti-terrorist police were confronted by a terrorist couple during a raid on a apartment,which was their hideout.even though they used grenades (four) to attack the police and using their kid as a shield.they were eventually neutralized

NAIROBI, Kenya – Police shot dead a couple suspected to be terrorists after they threw four grenades, wounding five officers in an overnight stand-off, a police official said Sunday.

Following a tip, investigators raided the apartment where the couple was staying in the Githurai Kimbo area on the outskirts of Nairobi Saturday evening and ordered them out of their house, said Boniface Mwaniki, the head of the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit.The couple refused to surrender, threw grenades and used their eight-month-old baby as a human shield, said Mwaniki.

Police fired tear-gas repeatedly into the house, said a resident of the building. The baby was removed from the house unconscious and two grenades were found in the house, said Augustine Nthumbi, the officer in charge of the Githurai Kimbo.

The incident highlights the threat of Islamic extremist violence in Kenya.

The man killed was Kenyan national Felix Otuko, who was suspected of carrying out two grenade attacks in October 2011 — the first of a string of grenade and gun attacks in Kenya, said Mwaniki of the police anti-terrorism unit.

Mwaniki said Otuko was a member al-Shabab cell with another Kenyan national Elgiva Bwire Oliacha, also known as Mohammed Seif, who is serving a life sentence in jail for grenade attacks in Nairobi on Oct. 24, 2011 which killed one person and injured 20 others.

Investigations showed that Oliacha supplied Otuko with the grenades for the two attacks, Mwaniki said.

These attacks followed threats against Kenya from Islamic extremist rebels in neighboring Somalia. The al-Shabab radicals, who are allied to al-Qaida, vowed to attack Kenyan targets in retaliation for the Kenyan government's decision in Oct. 2011 to send troops into Somalia to battle against al-Shabab.

The Kenyan government sent troops into Somalia after several cross-border attacks and kidnapping of foreign tourists that were blamed on al-Shabab.

Al-Shabab was working to establish a new generation of East African jihadists, warned a report by the United Nations in July 2011. The extremists represent a new security challenge for the region and wider international community, the report said. The rebels recruited other Africans in addition to ethnic Somalis, said the report.

Kenyan police warn that some are being trained by al-Shabab in Somalia and then returning to Nairobi slums, a border region near Somalia and Kenya's Indian Ocean coast, warn Kenyan police.

One question:we were all users of this icon. Along with much of the Anglo world. Why wasn't it ever remade? The M16 is now the SCAR the M14,another battle rifle that came out at the same time has been remade into a sniper rifle. I know FN tried to replace it with the FNC in the late 80s but IIRC only Belgium and Indonesia use it,while another manufacturer DSA,bought the dies and builds excellent FN versions including short barrel carbines and the pistol version shown here.The original is still one of the most accurate rifles and yet is rarely seen today. Why?

Wow.

Bidexiii, tdayof do RC graduates pass out as lieutenants or 2nd lieutenants? Thanks

That is the fact. You won't even survive Termer 2 with an abysmal grade. Only smart chaps graduate from NDA. It has always been like that.

That is the fact. You won't even survive Tarmac 2 with an abysmal grade. Only smart chaps graduate from NDA. It has always been like that.

It's Termer 2

And yes bad grades get you just one relegation and its then bye bye academy

However "smart" in the academy isn't necessarily academic books. Some cadets are slack in their courses and geniuses in military related stuffs.

A sound soldier is an all rounder
