explosiveskull: It's the same reason why many SSC guys dread that corp, their death most likely will be roasting from an RPG, or high explosive device. Aside that as a tank commander you're almost invincible, na pure cruise and you have this feeling as a Pilot. Nevertheless you're always in for a rollercoaster joy ride. |

Blueelf: I honestly wasnt very impressed with the movie. It wasnt as action-packed as i thought. The main action began from the middle of the movie when the Talibans attacked. But i really admire the sense of brotherliness and love the soldiers shared. See how Pt. Carter refused to let specialist Mace bleed out there when he got shot. They all immediately began to donate blood for him and his life was saved. Those 2 Captains (Keating and Yllescason or so) that died in quick succession bothered me. Captain Broward would have died too, if not that he was "coward", according to Pt. Carter. The movie was still worth the time though 2 Likes |

odimbannamdi:Yea, captain Broward do piss inside and is scared of engaging the talibans sef, he was immediately relieved of duty. |

Shynaboy1:It took effect last year and prolly those that resigned had applied far more earlier when the policy took effect. But someone said that report is false that it is almost impossible to resign from the army now except on medical ground or you just japaa. 3 Likes |

Blueelf:Haba Nah, I understand U brother... Your first priority must be to become worthy of leading them. Lead by example every day and in everything you do, whether it is at physical training, on field exercises, or on the range. Face it, you will have to prove yourself every day as a lieutenant. Put yourself in their shoes and take a hard look at yourself. (1) Would you follow a person with your standards? (2) Would you follow a person with your level of tactical and technical expertise? Do not be a hypocrite. If you expect the soldiers to meet a certain standard, ensure you exceed it. Stay cool under pressure and be a calming presence in the platoon when things get stressful. Remember this when you arrive as a new platoon leader, you are like a transplanted organ. THE BODY (PLATOON) EITHER ACCEPTS OR REJECTS YOU BASED ON YOUR PROFESSIONALISM AND ATTITUDE. 2 Likes |

explosiveskull: There is this English proverb, "it is from the house of the coward that we will point to the ruins of the strong man". I understood that proverb more, after that movie. Capt. Broward was scared, but he lived to tell the tale. A good mix of courage and smartness will keep one alive in the military job. In course 44, i remember Lt. (now Capt. Abel) telling us that if your ammo finishes during gunfire exchange with insurgents, you should run! Dont look back, run! Y'all needed to see him demonstrate that day. We laugh tire. 3 Likes |

odimbannamdi:at a time person gast use sense for some kind things. Nigerian army dey call am tactical withdrawal e get why. Guy man(Capt Broward) will live to wear starched Khaki to "ShopRite" and impress babes while those one wey dey form gallant will go home in body bags. The irony of everything is that na the type of Broward they narrate to outsiders how them fight gallantly and came out as the only survivors. 3 Likes |

ugo4u:That movie explains what some of our soldiers go through in their post. I still don't know why NA isn't taking advantage of elevation by using hescos but rather still using WW1 tactics of building trenches. Sir, any input on this? 1 Like |
Re: Nigerian Army SSC And DSSC 2016/2017 Forum by ugo4u: 12:32pm On Jul 11, 2020 |
Mugiwaraluffy:Honestly, the implementation of the super camp strategy has improved alot of things especially base defence setup. Hescos are now a common site in bases in theatre of operations even now excavators are used to dig trenches unlike when soldiers dug same with shovels. It's a gradual process the HESCOs are very expensive nevertheless most of these things are already being implemented/used.

Re: Nigerian Army SSC And DSSC 2016/2017 Forum by Mugiwaraluffy: 12:35pm On Jul 11, 2020 |
ugo4u:Ok, that's better. I just feel sorry for our troops each time there's an attack. NA can do better to provide MRAPs and IFV as standard vehicles for patrols instead of of light skin hilux. The constant loss of lives due to corruption by the top brass weakens the morale of soldiers that face the brunt of war daily. |
Re: Nigerian Army SSC And DSSC 2016/2017 Forum by Mugiwaraluffy: 12:50pm On Jul 11, 2020 |
ugo4u:This isn't bad. Let's just get our shit together and take the offensive position on these guy (JAS & ISWAP) instead of always repelling. We can only win this war when we start to implement the right tactics and approach this war the war it is. |
Re: Nigerian Army SSC And DSSC 2016/2017 Forum by Blueelf: 1:00pm On Jul 11, 2020 |
odimbannamdi: The reason for the apparent lack of action at the beginning of the movie was because the director wanted to strictly follow the real life events as they unfolded....according to the soldiers that were there, the Taliban didn't attack in full might at first because thy were probing the American defenses at first to understand all about it: their reaction time, location of their armor depot, personnel count etc..... I'm sure Boko Haram attacks our vulnerable positions in the same way....with large, overwhelming numbers |
Re: Nigerian Army SSC And DSSC 2016/2017 Forum by Blueelf: 1:02pm On Jul 11, 2020 |
ugo4u: But bros, a ragtag group of insurgents shouldn't hold the mighty NA (with a long history of gallantry) to ransom like that....we should be on the attack and they defend....na so e suppose be na... |

Blueelf:I agree we're supposed have a change of tactics and be on the offensive, but military tacticians will tell you they need the right equipments to do so, pre 2015 elections ebenlow's PMC together with 72MSF routed Bokoharam within 4 weeks seizing all territories from them. This isn't difficult for the army to do of given the level of support those guys where given, note they had a dedicated attack helicopter, assorted weapons a tech gadgets at their disposal to carryout their operations and they were paid in millions of dollars. Hopefully we will get it right someday. PS Bokoharam is not a ragtag militia if you know you know, especially when they formed alliance with ISWAP. |

Blueelf:BH are not fighting conventional warfare with NA. They employ guerrilla tactics and occasionally use advantage of large numbers against small troops Check out Vietnam war, communist vs nationalist in China, Cuba etc. Guerrilla army are just annoying and sometimes difficult to fight. |
Re: Nigerian Army SSC And DSSC 2016/2017 Forum by ugo4u: 1:23pm On Jul 11, 2020 |
Blueelf:Boko haram have different factions, The Shekau faction which operates around sambisa and the AlBarnawi faction that operates in the lake Chad region. The AlBarnawi guys only kill soldiers and other combatants but the Shekau guys kill any living thing they meet including civilians/villagers. The army has decapitated the capability of Shekau's led Bokoharam to mount assaults on troops, it's the AlBarnawi faction that is more daring and launches attack on bases. |

Mugiwaraluffy: I know...the numbers thing can be curbed if the FG/NA mounts a daring offensive on different fronts to just crush them once and for all....that's if they invest money in the right weaponry sha The best form of defence is attack you know |

Blueelf:Simply art of war sir. In my opinion, I think some people in power and influential position don't want this war to end. |
