Ask any soldier on ground even most of the 1970s battle tank we have including the much talked about T72s are not even serviceable, it's that bad that parts from other tanks are being cannibalised to service the ones at the fronts. The situation is very pitiable, I've talked about us going for second new vehicles like the humvees used by Americans in Iraq for patrols than the Toyota pickup truck we use for patrols that melts when in contact with even knock outs. The thing is all about playing our politics right internationally, if you don't lobby the powers that be, they won't sell to you and they'll go ahead to block any sale to you from other countries. That was why under Jonathan regime situations was so bad that we had to ferry raw cash to buy weapons in the black market which again doesn't come cheap.
ohh I've heard that story alot, just yesterday one came visiting me and was narrating his ordeal

I feel sorry for most of them. I pray God continues to protect our soldiers

Most of them are highly motivated, though not professionally trained as one will expect but their fighting spirit is tremendous

But you see the red necks.the are our problems

Many of them go for courses abroad the see advance equipments. The even take pictures in them and post online

But bringing such to their own country is forbidden

The thrive on the ignorance of our law makers and president on key military matters, present whatever inferior equipment for commisoning and send them over to the NE for soldiers to be slaughtered in


The BH insurgency cannot be won overnight, that's the truth it's going to be a long war

The insurgents keep adapting and restrategising

Why is it difficult for the military to do same??

Sir, that amphibious training is part of Exercise Camp Highland, which SSC cadets normally participate in together with final year RC cadets, in Kontagura Niger State.
ugo4u:

I don't think SSC guys go for amphibious training but I know of RC cadets
Them go gather them for the highest point of river kaduna dam, tie rope for their waist command them to jump inside the river, then use the ropes to drag them out.

Is there a reason why SSC guys don’t go for amphibious training?

Someone said they do go for swimming exercise during camp highlander.
Why I said I'm ain't sure they attend is because those RC guys proudly wear amphibious badge and Airborne badge, why their SSC counterparts go around with naked uniform save for the tiny star on their shoulders.

No knowledge is a waste, you could pick one or two things that could be beneficial to you when you face the board or get commissioned as an officer.
Abi you want make we dey post things like
*List will comeout tomorrow*
*No Buratai said it's till next year*
*How many photocopies are we to bring for screening*
*Should we travel with money for interview when list shows*
*How many cup of garri we suppose carry go interview* etc

Sometimes it doesn't cost a thing to engage in healthy arguments as long as it's all related to the subject matter. Some of us here might become battalion commanders, COAS someday or be in a position to make far reaching decision with regards to the betterment of the army and military at large.

Healthy argument.... Learnt a lot.... Thanks guys.....

I have always wondered. Why short service combatant or direct short service course (SSC or DSSC)?

The USA has something similar called the officer candidate school (OCS) for would be officers that had graduated from civilian universities. And this applies to all the arms of service; Army, Navy, Air force and the Marine Corps. The graduates of the OCS are given the same treatments as the graduates of the military academies (namely; USMA West point, USNA Annapolis and USAF Colorado). Both OCS and military academy graduates undertake the same courses (in the course of their careers) and are promoted on equal basis. There is also no limit to which the OCS graduates can advance in their service.

This ensures equality and removes favoritism and unnecessary politicking. Our Generals surely know thus but still insist on sticking with an archaic system. It beats me why?

Why not convert our SSCs and DSSCs to Officer Candidate School (OCS) and let every graduate from the OCS be given equal opportunity for advancement (depending on career trajectory and choice of the officer)? Its just my two cents though

While we are still waiting for the list, I think we can help ourselves deal with the anxiety a bit, by familarising ourselves with some salient and covert matters about the Nigerian Army, that will help some of us prepare ourselves very well for the system we are about to dive into.

And for some others, may be they will consider withdrawing from the whole process after getting to know one or two things that they never knew about the system, and give chance to those who are truly ready for this thing.

No more wasting of valuable spaces again by those who will later withdraw along the way. Have I spoken well?

By the way, I think we should talk about masochism and sadism in the Nigerian Army.

I think a doctrinal change is needed in NA training.

Phrases that demean civilian like "bloody civilian" ought to be blotted out and labelled a hate speech. And yes, it ought to. Any talk or training that considers civilians as worthless should be discouraged and outrightly expunged from the curriculum. The civilians pay taxes to sustain the army and thus should be treated with the utmost respect and dignity.

A strong soldier isn't by how you oppress those you are meant to protect but by been a gentleman that is ready to kill and die defending the weak and vulnerable.

And yes, some of us here have not even started the training but I see some traces of "oppressive mentality" in our words and actions. Big props up to Ugo4u for arguing intelligently and with respect. Its rare on Nairaland these days.

Someone once posted the story of how a DSSC candidate was maltreated in training despite his injuries. A country that values the life and the mental well being of it's would be officers would bring the perpetrators of such inhumane act to book. Military training g or not, they went above board. An injured soldier (even if captured as a POW in war) has a right to good treatment as stipulated by the Geneva Convention not to talk of getting injured in a training exercise and being blamed for it. It was sad really
