Understanding the Distinctions Between NAF DSSC & BMTC Recruitment Exercise:

The Nigerian Airforce recruitment exercise comprises two main categories: DSSC (Direct Short Service Commission) and BMTC (Basic Military Training Course) Recruitment. BMTC Recruitment involves a shorter training period for recruits aiming to become Airmen and airwomen, with the training lasting less than six months.
