MrSuama:
When the list was released in 2016, I just couldn't accept not making it to the interview. I was seriously devastated, age had caught up with me having initially graduated at a very young age.
One evening after I finished teaching some children lesson (side hustle) their father paid me and guess what? That night I boarded a car to Jos, since I couldn't get a car to Abuja, from Jos, I boarded another car to Akwanga, from Akwanga I got another car to Abuja all in one night with the hope of seeing Buratai's wife at NAOWA headquarters.
Upon arriving Abuja at about past midnight, I boarded a cab to NAOWA headquarters with the hope of sleeping in the open air and probably seeing her when she arrives in the morning.
A soldier confronted me and asked about my mission at that time of the night. After narrating my ordeal, he said " so you want her to remove somebody's name and put your own Abi" I felt so bad and left. I trekked almost 3 to 4 km from NAOWA headquarters till I got to a bridge, I sighted a mosque, rested for some hours, prayed my Fajr prayer and soon I was on my way back to Bauchi. The passion for the army just burnt my hard earned ₦10000 lesson money.
In 2018, I wrote two letters, one to chief of army staff and the other to chief of defence staff hoping a miracle will happen but Ina. I even almost gatecrashed Serti but since my course was not advertised I felt my chances were low.
It's 2020, and guess what, am giving it another shot because the worst I can do is to give up on God. Indeed Victory is From God Alone.
Bro but is age still on your side now?

So, the NCO had committed serious offenses which necessitated the revoke/denial of the pass by his CO

BVN inconsistencies could've be managed or corrected on time to tally with their documents.
Just get an affidavit, a valid identification that carries the date of birth ur want to use and go to the bank.
They'll fix it for u asap..
Date of birth on bvn can be changed.

Yes, birth certificate is very much acceptable.
Reason why I said affidavit was coz I expect or believe most people that'll need it needs to reduce age to their preference

I believe if those two names reflect on ur certificate, then their should be no cause for alarm.
Cc ugo4u, sikowitz or anyone knowledgeable on this should chip in.

Greetings, please to the senior men in the house, we all know we'll be where the action is, but under which unit exactly? Infantry? Ordinance? Artillery? Amoured corps? and how's that selection done?

Those units you listed are the exclusive preserve of RC/SSC officers with the exception of Ordinance where you can also find DSSC.
To your question all those units are the frontline guys, the Infantry is the queen of the battle field they are mostly the boots on ground, they also operate some motorised(Mechanised Infantry) platforms like MRAPs, APC, IFVs etc HQ is in Jaji, Kaduna. Armour guys HQ is in Bauchi they're are usually the guys leading the charge with their tanks such as the T-72s, Panhards M3 VPMs, VT4 tanks and other motorized platforms etc. The infantry follow them behind. Armour divisions are usually located in border towns, I think it was during IBB's tenure they were "banished" to faraway communities (border town) in his bid to protect his regime from coups.
Artillery guys are also frontline guys but they give artillery cover with big guns such as PLZ-52 155mm SP howitzers, quad-barreled Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun system, gun mortars etc to both the armor and Infantry guys, they "soften" ground for both corps. Usually at the rear of both Infantry and armour units, when water pass Garri, the infantry guys will give the artillery guys co-ordinates to launch their big guns.
They also can be embedded even in trenches with other units from where they can launch their projectiles in a situation where there is a trench to trench engagements. Their HQ is in Kachia, Kaduna.
Now selection is done by the type of course you studied, though you'll be given a form to make your choice but the ultimate decision lies with the army. People that studied Geography, Geology, physics, mathematics similar courses most likely will find themselves in artillery.
Majority of officers will be in infantry especially those that studied anyhow course in the university like agriculture, fishery, fashion design, baking, etc
I may be wrong though, but this is usually the trend.

Modified:
Irrespective of the corps you're in you can still lead operations as long as you're a Combatant officer.

You can all see that SSC/RC is were the real deal lies, as for DSSC it is a boring commission. na to dey starch Khaki upandan grin
