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.

| Regular Combatant | Direct Short Service Commission[DSSC] | Basic Military Training Course | |
| Age Limit | 17 years old and not more than 21 years old | None | 18 and 22 For Non-Tradesmen and 18 and 25 for Tradesmen and Women |
