A NIGERIAN DEFENCE ACADEMY 70RC AFSB CANDIDATE BATCH A EXPERIENCE

Hello readers especially NDA aspirants waiting to report to the academy on the 14th of July. Take a look at this First batch experience of this year 70rc armed forces board selection.

As written by Valentine Madubuike of 70RC 
Chest number Enugu 03

All started like this, i reported to The Nigerian Defence Academy on 23rd of June,2018 for armed forces selection board, we were to be 50 from my state but only 49 came. On the entrance our bags were searched thoroughly by MP personnel for phones and other electronics and other harmful stuffs. If you're found with a phone they'll document it with your name and state so you'll be able to collect it later. After the searching we moved to the next stage where our chest number was given to us, i was EN-03. We paid 2500 for online verification of results, thereafter we had to grind our yansh (ass) under hot sun.

The gateway to generalship. That's just the standard. Then we proceeded to Bulama biu drill shed where they make us do it even if it is against our own wish, hehehe! we went there for credentials screening which included checking of o'level result, birth certificate, nda post card, acknowledgement form nd other things the NDA told us to bring, those without one of the required items were not disqualified immediately, The nda gave them opportunity to call their parents if they could send it over to them before the announcement of credentials result. Those who falsified age were disqualified, and the only birth certificate that was generally accepted was the ones from National population commission or a general government hospital. If you don't have any, declaration of age from the court will be your only option.

Credentials result was announced on Tuesday 26th of June and immediately the almighty medical started in Nda permanent site Afaka . This was where i killed myself, having heard about nda and the harsh treatment i thought my blood pressure would rise cus of the threats. I started taking garlic to reduce my blood pressure not knowing my BP was normal, my state started with blood nd urine test which was done in the laboratory, they checked for protein level, diabetes, sugar level, cholesterol, hepatitis b and c, hiv and other blood issue, then we proceeded to Height, weight and Bp(where my fuck up started from), i met all the requirements in all the stages but my bp was too low due to excess garlic, i noticed it when the medic was writing the result it was reading 90/55. They even thought i took drugs because it was too low. Next was Dental examination where they check for teeth arrangement, hole in a tooth or teeth disease, those who have their front teeth extracted were disqualified because they'll not be able to open grenade if they eventually find their selves in the war front from my own understanding though, so the only way is for one to fix a permanent tooth which might cost 200K or a bridge of 50k. After the dental examination comes the eye test, where they check for long sightedness and short shortsightedness nd color blindness, those with with serious issue with d eye were disqualified. We couldn't finish all the medical in one day so we went back to nda old site nd reported the next day. That day i was not myself, i couldn't sleep well i cried all through cus nda would disqualify me for having low bp, i looked for salt nd j started taking it, salt contains sodium chloride which increases someone's BP. I didn't know i was taking excess of it not until we went for physical examination where my bp was checked again, this time it was reading 160/80,that's hypertension which has killed so many people. Thank God i didn't die. During the physical Examination, NDA will check for bow leg, flat feet, pile, number of testes, tattoos, major surgery scars nd other things. The last on medical was ECG electrocardiogram gram, i didn't and i don't know what that means till now though mine was Normal.

Those with issues were called for medical review so that no one would say NDA disqualified them because they didn't know anybody. They called me for review too but the salt was still active. I gave up from start beacuse i know i fucked up but the morale is still very high. CLOWNSHIP ISSA MUST

Nda afsb is not as harsh as hyped
Experience is the best teacher, i know I'll clear everything next time.
