How old are you? Where did you school? Are you licenced to practice by the Nigeria Medical and Dental Council? Are you fit? Can you be a soldier? Well you could also join as a civilian doctor; but your pay will not be as good as that of tour colleagues who are officers. Besides, the respect won't be there. I mean, you're a bloody civilian. When your colleague who is an officer comes, everyone will stand-up to salute. When you enter, no body will even greet you 2 Likes (Share⤴) Re: Nigerian Military Doctors by MemphitzDgreat1(m): 10:13pm The Nigerian Navy is better. My dad retired as a Lt.

You didn't go through NDA and the army considers combat training a core component of the training of all its cadets. Your training as a medical doctor is one thing. The ability to hold your nerves in an active theatre of combat is another thing. However, if you must, the army requires that you are registered and up to date with the qualifications any doctor needs to practice in Nigeria. You mentioned that you are a consultant. If you are less than 40 years of age, then the army will welcome you.

Just check previous DSSC vacancies for the three services and confirm the criteria. (Share⤴) Re: Nigerian Military Doctors by UCHDR: 11:26pm Dynduhh: I'm asking btw the Army, Navy or Air force...

There was a time was the military where recruiting mechanics, rewire and other professional into the military. Some people I know join. But they were using them and paying the same salary as normal soldier. If they need to fix there vehicles on emergency those guys will be called to look into it. But it doesn't always end w well. A normal mechanic earn more than the same status of a military It's better you join private medical field than the military. (Share⤴)
